hi luke, you said:

======================================
yule prolly be at least $20k shy, unless it's a really tatty 308...  may as well
buy a pantera for that, & keep yer two alfas...  :>)

=========================
surely NOT!!!  if ewe get rid of yer two alfas for a ferrari 308, yer
maintenance will be much more than keeping the alfas, even if ewe get a pantera
- - unless, of course, ewe never drive the 308...  i pay $324/year for insurance
for my pantera - agreed value of $30k, FULL coverage, NO deductible.  for the
cost of a 308 tune-up, i can install a 400hp gnu/rebuilt engine in my pantera.

if ewe want a ferrari that will keep up w/even a mildly tweeked gtv6, yule have
to start w/at least a 348; the 308's don't cut it...

>Save me, I am under the spell of things red, prancing,
>and shiny...  
====================
save it for when ewe win the lottery - take a drive in a pantera, something ewe
can actually afford - mite change yer tune!  :>)

======================================
no arguments here - try adding two motorcycles to the equation!
