luxurious and unpretentious cars
Agreed, I prefer the old Ferrari's to the new ones, this one is one of my favorite.
Old cars are more unique and classic
I'd tend to disagree with that quite a bit.
First of, a classic by definition is an older car (or at least an older car inspired design)
Second, regarding the uniqueness: we tend to compare the best old cars with the average current ones. There are plenty of unique newer models out there. It's just a matter of perspective :)
I like a luxury car but I have not been able to afford it
It takes time, patience and focus to build wealth. To get there, you gotta be persistent and start from scratch, hence the ride being so great. Only limitation is in your head (as in "people's head, not yours specifically :) )
Oh and most important (but not necessary though) you better freaking love what you do!
Ferrari 512 TR car is a unique car that can still be in use when and will not be less beautiful with other cars
It is still in use of course :) And indeed a great looking car! Unfortunately, most owners do not ride them that often :)
My dad is very fond of these classic cars
Easy to know why ;)
