There I was, tooling around in a silly orange Camaro, when I hit traffic on PCH in Malibu. Why?
‘Cause some rich dood with a Ferrari decided to park right in the middle of the highway! Can’t you believe it!!??? I mean, the noive….
May have had something to do with the fact that he got WHAM, BAM THANKYOU MA’AM’D from the rear. I figure it’s about $50K work of work. Maybe I shoulda left my card?

Just A Few Wires And A Fuse Away From Sweet Music In The Ferrari
By Sam Barer

When I bought the Infamous Craigslist 1976 Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 last year I noticed its stereo didn’t work. Now that it’s back on the road and I’ve been driving it a bit, I decided to do a little digging into what might be the source of the issue.
Before you make some knee-jerk comment like “the Ferrari’s V8 should be enough music”, when you’re stuck in traffic or on a long trip even a supercar’s engine doesn’t cut it.
Diagnosing classic radio issues is so easy that an ADD-riddled journalist can do it. If you can hook-up a home stereo, you can generally get a car stereo working, because the same issues apply: one power wire (which usually goes to the fuse box) and one ground wire, plus a positive and ground running to each speaker. There’s also a big cable that goes to the antenna (and sometimes a wire to connect if the antenna goes up when the stereo is turned on). That’s it! Basically, the only catch is to make sure you unhook the battery cable so a live circuit doesn’t give you Don King hair.

The Secret Is Out – Gemballa Ferrari Enzo MIG-UI
By Ben Schaffer
The Real JDM
I’ve been holding a secret for a long time…A while back one of my friends (a member of the Galadari family) in Dubai told me about this project they were working on with Germany’s famous Porsche tuner Gemballa. The project shocked me because of just how insane it was. After seeing some early sketches of the project, I was convinced that it would turn out to be pretty wild!
Now many months later after painfully suppressing this secret, the pictures are here. The Gemballa Enzo project lives!
I’ve been given permission finally to release the pictures, but it seems that I might not be the first to leak them. Regardless I think I was one of the very first to know about this project many months ago, so I still feel its relevant to publish these here.

It’s ALIVE! The First Drive In The Infamous Craigslist 1976 Ferrari Dino 308 GT4
By Sam Barer

Never say never, folks. Since it snowed in Houston a couple weeks ago, those things you said would never happen until you-know-what froze-over are starting to happen. In that vein today I drove the Infamous Craigslist 1976 Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 for the very first time on a public street.
So let’s do a little summary from previous episodes of the calamity: I acquired the barely-running car about ten months ago for a song and figured it would take a few weeks to get it back on the road. (After all, it had less than something like 200 miles over 20 years in which two engine rebuilds were completed!) As the gaggles of small issues snowballed, my Sound Classics technical team found itself struggling to find the time to dedicate to the car. Every step along the way yielded hassles — like broken components and incorrect fixes by past mechanics…not to mention our (mostly “my”) own failed attempts to address problems.
In November the car was running, but really poorly (which is where it was when I bought it.) On the advice of a trusted friend, I called in area Ferrari expert mechanic Bill Borum to tie up the loose ends.

What Do Your Cars Say About You?
By Sam Barer
Apexstrategy.com
We always hear the stereotypes associated with owners of specific types of cars. The British owner is supposedly one part traditionalist and another part masochist, the manual transmission user thinks he’s a racer, the 4X4er likes to think he can go anywhere, and the V8 driver doesn’t care about the environment. Of course, if a guy pulls up in a sports car he’s obviously compensating, right?
Today I was watching my computer’s screensaver–a slideshow of most of the cars I’ve owned in the last decade. I started thinking–what might my cars, past and present, say about me?

I loved this ‘Cuda when I saw it at SEMA, but honestly, I assumed it was built more for show than go. Well, I guess I was wrong!
