Sex on four wheels...

Well not literally, but about as close as you can get.

1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rosa. Beautiful, sexy, and gawd awful fast (for it's day of course).

Black like this one. Fun car to drive, but I hated the black paint. Showed everything. The final straw was my neighbor's cat entertaining her boyfriend on the hood. Scratches all the way through the clearcoat. Traded it in on a Jeep Cherokee. What a POS that was!

...based on model year. My husband wants one, but I'd rather get another Rodeo. It was the best 'car' I ever had. His name was Mothra (yes, Mothra is a female, but my Rodeo was a boy.)

And, sorry about the romantic interlude on the hood of your car. I guess they were just being 'impulsive'.

I can't remember this. I know I've seen it, but what was it...20-30 years ago?

Just $5998. As if a two dollar bill doesn't make it $6000.



These days I stick with the $800 used cars and it pisses me off that I have to even own a car.

Believe it or not. We do a lot of work for a HUGE car collector and we did the interior in a yellow and red one. Probably my favorite car we have done the interior in.

We get to work on a lot of very cool cars. If interested you can check out some of them at http://acs-protrim.com

I had a '70 E-type roadster, also red, and I have to admit that the Jag's sleek, sexy look sold me on it. Fun to drive, too.

The Ferrari is beautiful!
