The Mera is a pretty good copy. They were actually sold at Pontiac dealers, and are much rarer than 308s - I saw a source that says 247 Meras were built between 1987 and 1988. That said...sorry, but it's just not the same. I'm sure it's not a bad car, and I certainly respect your point of view, but ...

Hello RC, I've never been able to figure out exactly what he's talking about with the fouled plugs either, however I'm not a mechanic. There is a fairly complex procedure to starting the older, carb'd 308s, and especially in the Northeast in winter ( they picked up the car in New Jersey in late Dece...

Thanks! "She needs a bath in the picture..." - Paul No no no, she's just perfect in the picture. Looks just like the way TM took took care of Robin's. :lol: LOL! I'm trying very hard to not crash her, get her keyed, shot, or blown up! And I wouldn't ask TC to do a tune up, even though she is out of...

Sweet ride Paul! You lucky bas.... ;) Do you get a lot of "honks" or "thumbs up" when you ride around town? A fair number...but I live in South Florida, where newer Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Bentleys, etc. are a dime a dozen. Truthfully, if I could afford a Ferrari 360 or 430 or whatever, I'd still r...

Thanks!

It really was the culmination of 20 years of dreaming and scheming. When I was about to turn 16 and get my driver's license, I told everyone I was going to get a 308, sooner or later. I'm glad I've been fortunate enough to be able to make it a reality.

Thanks!

She needs a bath in the picture, and the cell phone camera and my poor photography skills really don't come close to doing justice to the beautiful Pininfarina design. I seriously still find myself just staring at it from different angles sometimes.

Ok, here's the only one I have handy. Weather permitting, I'll make it a point to take some this weekend

The 328 is a "better" car, in almost every aspect.

That said, I just like the look of the 308 better; I may be the only person around who likes the silly black bumpers.

Unfortunately, I don't have very many photos - I really should take some more - and I don't have an online album to post them from. Is there an easy one to use?

Well... 1. Live near (but not on, anymore :() the beach. Florida, not Hawaii, but still... 2. Wear Hawaiian shirts regularly, including the Jungle Bird :) 3. Have a 308 4. Wear baseball caps, although mostly to keep from sunburning my bald head. 5. Pushing 40 too fast I really need to work on being ...

Welcome aboard Paul, and I'm glad you enjoy the car so many of us envy! Thanks for the warm welcome. I consider myself very fortunate. Do you wear a Tigers cap while driving it, or is that taking it too far? Also- do you mind if I ask how you find the build quality? I don't wear the Tigers cap, alt...

'Cool once more' ?! It was never out of style! We have a client who owns a 308 GTS convertible. It is apparently awful to drive. Anyone here driven one? This is my first post, so...Hi All. As a huge Magnum fan growing up, I remember telling my mother, as a 9 or 10 year old, that I wanted a Ferrari....
