I had a recent chance to take photos of a 1998 Ferrari 550 Maranello in Tucson, AZ. Just wow.

V12 engines mated to manual transmissions are a timeless combination, and one that is nearly extinct (thanks, GMA and Pagani). When said transmission is surrounded by a metal shift gate and the hood wears a prancing horse badge, well, that just makes it all the more sweeter. "They don't make them like they used to," has never resonated so heavily. In an age where modern machinery can boast upwards of 1,000 horsepower, controlled by all sorts of electronic wizardry, an old-school exotic is a breath of fresh air. From the sounds, smells, and that shift rod clanking through each gear, it's easy to fall in love with a 550 Maranello - and that's without even mentioning its gorgeous Pininfarina-penned looks.
