When she discovers Western saddles.......

That is amazing joinery. Only question I have is, how did they assemble those joints?

The fun question of the week in my household was, any Ferrari you want, free, you don't pay for maintenance or insurance but you also can't sell it, so no loss or profit from the deal.
I started by thinking 250 GTO, because its possibly the most beautiful car of all time. But its so valuable and rare I don't think I could enjoy driving it or really beat on it.
Then I thought maybe 308 GT4 Dino. Fairly inconspicuous, haul more people, not a Ferrari douchebag type of car. But not special enough for a once in a lifetime free Ferrari.
I discarded F40 pretty quickly. One of my favorite cars because its so cool, but it's a nasty barely tamed race car with blobs of glue all over the interior and a high likelihood of killing me.
I briefly thought about F355 or 360. Common enough to be fairly disposable, I could beat on it without guilt, amazing sound. But no, not that special.
So now I'm stuck between 288 GTO and F50. I love the 80's vibe, pop up headlights and small V8 of the 288, but not a fan of turbos. The F50 was one of the halo cars of my childhood. Great V12 sound, decent styling, analog, manual brakes and steering and all that good stuff, cool tech like the engine being a stressed member. One of my favorite car reviewers speaks very highly of it.
An entire week of mental turmoil about cars I'll never have. My son is wishing he never asked the question now.

More great footage.
The 250 GTO seems the closest to resembling the Jaguar "E" type in form (if not performance):
My father had one of these with the very first "V12" engine that came out. But he traded it in for an XJ-12 Sedan (an XJ6 with that same V12 engine). I recall the E-Type used to have battery powered "electric fans." You had best hope they were working or you'd be SOL. I recall them coming on once you turned on the ignition but before starting the motor.
If I ever were to own a Ferrari (and I probably won't), I would attempt to have them "custom build" me a "Testarosa."
Eh, that one was only briefly considered. The looks are a bit polarizing for me, but lately I really like them. The problem is that they aren't interesting from a technical standpoint in any way. It's basically a car shaped truck with 12 cylinders, and known for driving like a truck too.
There is a company doing Testarossa restomod, but I don't recall who.The 250 GTO seems the closest to resembling the Jaguar "E" type in form (if not performance):

I think I would do 512TR way before Testarossa though. But all in all it didn't make the cut in my hypothetical world because its a mid engined GT car, not actually a sports car.
F50 hands down. Once you drive one..there is nothing like it.
People think “sports cars” have to be the fastest. Exactly the opposite, race cars need to be the fastest. Sports cars need to make you feel something.
Ferrari knew this making the f50, the rest of the car industry is now just understanding what it means.
