At the Geneva Auto Show in March, Ferrari is supposed to show a 612 Shooting Brake concept.

Les, can I borrow your roll of woodgrain contact paper?

Wait, I'm still shaking my head at that video news segment. They said the Camaro outsold the Mustang at around 80k cars to 72k Mustangs. But there were only 12k Corvettes sold (in 2010, I believe).

How can this be? I see Mustangs all the time and rarely see Camaros. Hell, I swear I see WAY more Corvettes than Camaros. Does not compute.

Sorry, Art, but the entire idea of a "Ferrari wagon" doesn't make enough sense to justify with a comment.

Thank you, Kendt. Donnie, you gotta use your imagination. Let's try an intermediate step first. Look at this Ferrari shield

and imagine it with a tasteful light oak woodgrain background instead of that garish yellow.

Tasteful and woodgrain just don't go together. Wood should never be used on anything on/in/around a car IMO.

I hate wood on/in a car. It belongs in furniture IMO. In a car it just screams 'old guy'.

i have to agree with Vincent. Wood doesnt belong in a car, old or classic.

:lol:

I'm with you Donnie as I was just thinking the same thing yesterday afternoon watching all the Mustangs in traffic passing by my store.

Maybe Carolina is Mustang Country and the new Camaros are big everywhere else? I never see them either.
