I was reading some headlines and saw this little tidbit...makes you wonder if you'd buy one, hmmm....
Italian financial police have busted a ring of counterfeiters who built fake Ferraris and sold them for as little as $30,000 a car. Authorities have confiscated 14 fake Ferrari Modena 360's, seven of which were sold and the other 7 under construction.
Investigators do not know how many of the cars have been sold in the past, but it is known that the buyers KNEW the cars were fakes and were clearly seeking to impress unknowing neighbors with the sleek bodied speed machines.
The 360 Modena went out of production in 2004 with a then pricetag of $215,000. The current suggested retail price for a 2004 model is around $150,000.

yeah i would, my bogus ferrari would get me more tail than id know what to do with haha
Champ....you know, I was thinking the same exact thing, why settle for fakes when you can have the real McCoy for the same price.
Then, I got to considering just what BigWord said.....me in a Ferrari is like Oil and Water.....it just don't go together, lol.
Give me some good ol' American Muscle any day of the week and I'm one happy camper
Dammmmm, they got caught !!! I had an order in with them for my Porsche Carrera GT.... Now it looks like i need to win the Main Event to get one
Cost of Car is $480,000
Hmm.....Porsche, powered by Ferrari....I wonder how that would work out?
I wouldnt buy a fake...mainly cause I dont need to drive one to get any tail
.lol..but also you never know what you are getting in the long run..
And who cares what car you drive..it shouldnt be my neighbors concern anyway (who spends 30k to impress your neighbors
).., as long as it gets from point a to point b I could care less ...I know who I am and I dont need a fancy car to define me and if I did it wouldnt be a "fake" one
..
~Flops~
for the one is a car a tool to get from A to B, for another it is hobby.....and i also dont need a car to define myself.....but ive worked hard for my car and bike it so i enjoy it (tho i cant drive it as much as i want)
I WOULD BUY A BOGUS SHELBY..
...OH YEAH
Ok so that Porsche is my fantasy car.... not really obtainable.....
This is my Dream car..... I can get this one but not practical as of yet....
And this is the car I'm most likely buying this week....
Its a Passat Wagon 2.0T..... Great gas mileage, all the extras, and will hold all my tools and parts.... What do you think should i buy it.....
You could do a heckuva lot worse, I'd say.
