    Burned Through Clear?

    I wet the surface with water under good light and I couldn't see the blemish. But without the water the base coat (color or pigment) was a little bit darker than the surrounding paint. I took the car to my painter today and this is what I did: I normally use a 6" orbital. I just bought a 3"...

    What Is This?

    But the shift boot has a rigid ring inside the boot itself. I'm missing something.

    What Is This?

    I found this floating around under the console wrapped around the gear shift lever. It is very sticky on one side of the tape. I left it out. Any idea what it is for?

    1800 mile 2005 GT sold in Greensboro NC for $257,500 + commission

    Case in point. Ferrari Lusso's got up to 2.5M in 2015. There is a Lusso on the cover of the latest issue of Sports Car Magazine that sold in the 1.5 M range. Granted it wasn't the nicest car but hey. Everything is down and it had to happen after the frenzy these past years. What goes down...
