I think I could thoroughly enjoy driving a Mangusta if it weren't so valuable. I think it's a sexy looking car and can turn heads even if its not fast or nimble. I rode with Steve Liebenow at the track in Parump once, just to see what it was like. It was cool. Not being made of money myself, I've had to make due with a scale model. Of course what I'd like to see is an 18th scale die cast available. :) Asa Jay Quoting audionut@hushmail.com:
_"...it would have been an incredible investment."__ _And that's about it. Nobody is really tearing around the countryside in their Mangusta anymore, if they ever did. Lucky for us, the Pantera is much better suited for driving the sh*t out of. Still, to my eyeballs, the Mangusta is hands-down one of the deadliest-looking sports cars ever built. If I had $300K laying around, I'd snap this one up in a heartbeat. (rather have the twin headlight model though) Even at $300K, I'd bet the 'goose is still going to be a sound investment. If the oddball Toyota 2000 GT can hit a million, by Jeebus, the Mangusta can't be far behind.

He didn't pop for it, as a few months earlier, he took the money set aside to buy new drapes for the house and purchased a couple 10" Campis and a set of Goodyear Blue Streaks to run at Riverside. With my mom still livid of having to live with tattered window dressings, he erred on the side of peace in the household (besides, buying the 'Goose would have meant my mon's car would have to live outside the garage), and the car went to another home. Had he (or any of us for that matter) bought the car, it would have been an incredible investment. I need to get working on a time machine!
