Help! Trade ///M Roadster (archive)

Hi all!

I already posted this question a few days ago, but am still quite torn on what to do. Please give me some advice, pros/cons, etc.

I have an opportunity to trade my '98 BMW M Roadster w/10k miles for.. get ready for this.. an '86 Ferrari Testarossa with 57k miles on it. Sure, I'm probably crazy!

The Ferrari would be the realization of a dream I've had ever since I was a little kid.. but, I am afraid that emotion may be doing the thinking for me.. Oh well, emotion did the thinking for me when I bought the ///M! ;)

I realize maintenance and upkeep will be higher than my BMW, but everyone I have spoken with has said that they are basically bulletproof cars, but do need service done.. and not neglect.

So, what do you guys (and gals) think? Pros / cons? I rarely drive my ///M [it's a weekend, garage queen], and the TR would be a great car for car shows, and "showing off" [which I like!].

Please feel free to privately email me so that we don't waste bandwith on the board.

Thanks for your help!

Larry
