Two Sisters

Today we were off to Ingolstadt.  We are still shopping for a car and today driving by this place we couldn’t resist stopping by and looking at this eye candy.  Alfa Romeo and Maserati are two sisters, but in the window, what caught our eye, was a screaming red hot Ferrari 360 Spider.  There were […]
