I suspect this will be a landslide, but let's do it anyways...

The 550/575 is my favorite Ferrari of all time, so that's my vote.  :lol:

I don't mind the 599, but it really doesn't do much for me.  :huh:

As much as I like the 550/575, I like the 599 better. Except the wheels.
Like a fine Detroit wine, this vehicle has aged to budgetary perfection...

599. I think they did the chassis better than on the 575.

599 wheels suck, but the overall car is hot.

The 550 was a bit of a dog on the track.

The 575 was a cooler-looking car that really will never look outdated.  I'd take one if I had a collection but I'm sure the 599 is a better driver.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

550/575.
"On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit'. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high." - Ayrton Senna

I'm going to buy a tube radio so we can huddle round it and, by the light of a single candle, listen to President Obama's fireside chats.

How anyone can find that stupid looking 599 attractive, I'll never know.  But then again, hey, someone married Streisand, right?

Catherine Zeta-Jones married Michael Douglas. That was far more of a travesty.

The 599 looks good from some angles but ackward from others.

I'll take a 575 Superamerica.

I agree though.  When I first saw a 599 on the road, I almost missed it! (see my London car thread few weeks ago, it really doesn't look all that)

This is one of my favorite Ferrari designs of all-time.

I preferred the 550 Barchetta to the 575 Superamerica.

I forgot about the 550 Barchetta, that would be a tough choice between the two.
