Caught in the wild: fun car sighting
Coming home from Dulles yesterday, I got to play with this beauty on the toll road. Didn't know what I was playing with until I got home and did a bit of poking. Link with the 5.7 million dollar reveal after the photos.
1958 Ferrari 250GT Cabriolet Series I

Miata > Ferrari.
Miata is pretty practical... There Ferrari, not so much.

I'm driving the beater Miata, taking photos of the six million dollar car.
Redefining normal daily.

OH yes specially when your miata will keep on running perfectly OK after years and years without much work - while the ferrari will be -- in the shop a few months.

Found this in my neighborhood on Friday, it's an old overland. Taking a closer look it appears to be fully operational/running (new wires and oil filter), even with the original wooden spoke wheels! Sent from an abacus

Looks like a race car. How'd you like driving that on a gravel road with it kicking up rocks!?

You could probably fabricate a detachable cycle-type fender set fairly easily.

It truly looks that the seats are part of the cars suspention ,the goggles you would wear back in the day are what we consider in present day as windshields.
