My dealer sent me a newsletter last week saying that Winkelman is going to focus on EV for their next models. Not only that, he said they are going to build a GT car. Are these true?

Btw, I may visit my dealer in a few weeks to take some photos of Temerario.

The Huracan is going to be a desirable classic down the road. Not as fast as next gen but not as complex to tinker to keep them rolling and lots of them were made so they will be scavenged to keep others on the road. There's a big but, if they ban gasoline or restrain it then who knows.

I think the EV are going to be a mess after a time, too expensive to fix, too dangerous and too complicated. Just look at all the EV that insurance scrap and refuse to repair. I think a lot of them will end up abandoned.

I'm thinking of keeping this 580 for a long time. But, there are many new cars coming out that are sort of tempting, but most of them have electric motors.

Next year, more nuclear power plants are expected to be cleared for operation following the disaster 13 years ago. Energy isn't truly sustainable without nuclear power. Personally, I'd prefer dealing with some smog pollution over the risks of radiation.

Me too I have found my "black pearl" and will not let it go anytime soon. The only tempting cars would be an Evo, tecnica, or a holy grail STO and an Aventador SV.

Some Ferraris look good on the exterior but the interiors I don't really like. I've never entertained buying one.

Some Macs look good but they all seem to have the shape of insects, no thanks!
