Did you ever see the pinstriping job on that car?

Has the full-tilt goldflake shebang finish on rear - circa 1982. Like this:

As to the OP:
Fagetaboutit!

Your best chances to get behind the wheel of a Ferrari are in Las Vegas at Dreamcarrentals.com. That's where I rented my first one: A 348 Spider, which I took to a drive onto Hoover dam. The next day I showed up there again and rented a 355 for a ride through Red Rock Canyon park. On my third day I rented a Testarossa to head North. Those experiences were unforgettable and worthe every cent. While renting one sets you back about $ 600 for 4 hours, every Ferrari owner will tell you, that is pocket change when it comes to any kind of maintenance.

Once I owned a Ferrari I met a bunch of fellow Ferrarifolks and occasionally (as in like maybe once a year) one of them was nice enough to swap keys. But don't count on that. If it happens, consider it a gift from Heaven.

PS: I tried to swap keys with Tony the Tiger (the dude on the 360) but he wouldn't do it. I'm pretty sure it was because he doesn't drive stick.

even closer is autobahn and joliet(not 100% sure but I think I remembers seeing this one too), I've seen groupon's for the exotic car experiences that roll through one/both places...

check their website's and keep an eye on groupon...

I'm sorry, I need to learn! I've grown up on automatic cars (shame on me) and I just got my license, but I need to learn. My dad knows, but my mum doesn't drive stick/manual/whatever. Oh well.

It expired but perhaps you can give them a call and they'd still get you the deal?

I have zero affiliation and don't know the company at all fwiw

I don't think it was a joke regarding his car preference

Aside from the groupon link, Dream Racing in Vegas was fun (you do a few laps in a 430 GT2) and I know Gotham Dream Cars in NY/NJ/Miami has similar events.
