Breanna Stewart is living her best life

[Irishfan]

I had a Maserati once. It was the only car I've ever owned that people would stop and look at until I restored a 1970 Mustang Mach 1.

At 135 it felt like you were only doing 60.

One guy in a shopping center parking lot asked me what it (the Maserati) was and when he asked who made it I told him Ford. He seemed happy.

The speedometer was probably still in kilometers. You were probably doing about 85.

<<The speedometer was probably still in kilometers. You were probably doing about 85.>>

Not really. This particular model was made for the American market as a Corvette competitor.

The exact safety problem with driving a Maserati is that you don't realize how fast you are going and the handling and brake efficiency of the car don't match the speed. Even experienced drivers have mishaps -- folks who have no experience with cars of this ilk (Ferraris, Maseratis, Porsche 911, etc.) are especially at risk.

A Maserati is also a very poor financial purchase. Maintenance, gas consumption, insurance, and depreciation make it a VERY expensive car to own, even after you pay its exorbitant sticker price.

I hope Breanna has a good financial adviser. Like any professional athlete she is only one serious injury away from a drastic change in her income potential.

Should have got a BMW.

Never. Lousy machines. Can't tell you how many recalls I went through, how many repairs, and how incredibly many mucked up repairs due to poorly trained repairmen at BMW facilities.

Go with the Tesla.

It isn't a 450S or a Tipo 61, but she probably wouldn't fit into either of those, and I don't think she's making LeBron type money. Everyone should have an Italian car on his/her bucket list. Just for the style, the panache, the how does one say, je ne sais quoi in Italian? A Ferrari if possible, otherwise an Alfa or Maserati; certainly not a Fiat. And preferably a coupé or spyder, though I prefer a sedan for its relative anonymity. Not a fan of SUVs, but I guess even Ferrari is going to make one. With a few notable exceptions, Maseratis, as ocoandasoc notes, depreciate very quickly.
My favorite import mechanic agrees with Fairfield Fan. To him, it's BM Trouble you.

I don't have that problem. I fix them myself
