Well, no, you see, this isn't the one Magnum PI drove, this one is much faster.
 
Sub zero, one of the coolest Ferraris ever.
 
You know, there's a whole love-love relationship between this car and me.
 
Sub-zero. Ferrari rally car.
 
Another lovely Ferrari. Great engine and the design team transformed the nondescript 328 into something mighty.
But uncool because supercar.

Why do they have 8L of milk? SU because too much milk.​

Is that unusual? When I lived in a house of 5, we had up to 16L in the fridge at a time. A 4L jug would be drained every day.
 
Eddie Irvine had one - 'nuff said, cool.

I can see where this is going.​
 
May not be an F40 but it's still gorgeous, and was well engineered.

I used to be able to down 1 gallon a day no problem.

I fail to see how that is a legitimate criteria

Because most supercars are shouty, look-at-me personality substitutes, driven (or not, as it were) by folks with more money than genuine interest in the cars.

Not that it affected my vote in this case - it's a hidden gem in comparison to the F40/F50 that followed. Solid Cool.
 
A no-nonsense Ferrari. Cool
 
I like. It's not as overtly willy-waving as more contemporary supercars with their frills and wings and superfluous testicles attached at every opportunity. But it's a stout, muscular looking car. The sort of thing that drives past and people go "ooh, nice".

Cool.
 
It's so sad these never got to run competitively. Sub zero.
 
SZ. No questions. This isn't a Ferrari, it's THE Ferrari.
 
Someone put this car inside an iceberg. One of the very best Ferrari cars ever made, for the time, it was amazing in every aspect. Ofcourse we weren't able to buy it as it was expensive and still is but, it will still remain as one of the most legendary Ferrari cars to date, period.

No, no. LaFerrari is THE Ferrari. Or more accurately, the Ferrari TheFerrari.

God, does that name sound even worse when you translate it to English... At Italian is a romantic language, so it makes the name "LaFerrari" sound a tiny bit elegant. Not in English-land, though.
 
My favourite Ferrari alongside the F40 and the 250GTO. It's a brilliant machine. Sub, sub-Zero.

Un-interesting fact about Finnish language: When you translate Ferrari LaFerrari to Finnish it becomes Ferrari Ferrari.

I love the 288 GTO, it's on the list of three post 70s Ferraris I would buy if I had money, along with F40 and 599 GTB. But until someone creates GTP Love/Like Wall, I won't be voting anywhere near the highest poll option.

That Finnish part reminds me of a character in the Japanese anime "Xabungle", her name was Maria Maria. (not making this one up folks, true story) The quirks of foreign languages, eh? :lol:

The second part is a bit more confusing, are you saying that the car is not quite Sub-zero and the option you'd pick isn't available? Is that what it is?

No, you're thinking way too complicatedly, it just means that the while I like the car, it isn't really cool to get out of one.
