I like them, too. The 250 GT California was used in Ferris Bueller's Day Off - seems they had a thing for red Ferraris in the 80s. But then, they are timeless...

By the way, didn't the actor playing Ferris' father appear in MPI or am I mixing things up?

Edit: A quick search in the forum revealed it was him. Hehe, I might just watch that movie again...
I know what you're thinking. And you're right.

Actually they just had it here in Chicago, and yes Ferris's father (Tom Bueller, Bueller,,,,Beeuuuueller) was indeed in the episode The People vs. Orville Wright..............

Definitely has to stick with the Ferrari for Mr. Masters but how bout this one for the fresh outta the Navy local PI who needs a magic carpet to get around. Also its probably in the new TMs price range. https://honolulu.craigslist.org/oah/cto ... 70524.html
That reminds me of the time....

After a little research I really think the best car for any new magnum would be the Lotus Elise with removable hard top. It is very similar to the 308GTS and price wise would make sense. New Ferraris are just too expensive these days.
