The Ferrari Mexico is a rare beast. It was built for racing in the Mexican roadrace. I think there were four built.

The other old Ferrari is interesting....looks to be a barn find. Any info on that?

The 2 came from the same collection, one of the founders of the Ferrari club here in America.

Hang in there bro, break ups suck. If you haven't already, cut all contact 100% ASAP, and move on. There are tons of girls out there that would be happy to get a piece o dat ass!

It sounds like this was going to happen anyways, might as well happen now rather than 10 years down the road when you are both depressed and "trapped" in a relationship with each other!

The fourth Mexico was a Barchtetta (open car).

The Vignale 212 looked rough for having been repainted. A lot of money for such a rough car, but it apparently was complete and intact.

I like the Mormon meteor (the long yellow two speedster with Deusenberg in big chrome letters on the side of the hood). That's a rather nice Bugatti too! (57?)

Enviable pics as usual, Tyler. Looks like a great trip.

It does sound like a change in venue is in order for you.
