The Ferrari F40 Question Every Serious Collector Will Recognize

In a column for Car and Driver, Ezra Dyer asks something that will sound familiar to anyone who keeps something extraordinary in the garage: what do you do with a car that outranks everything else you own but fits the rhythm of ordinary days least of all? The car in question is a Ferrari F40, and as his headline makes clear, it belongs to a friend. For owners and collectors from Naples to Aspen, the tension he describes is a kind of respect for a machine too singular to slip quietly into daily life. The impressions are Dyer's, not ours. His question is still worth thinking about for anyone who has ever stood in front of their best car and wondered when they'll next have a real reason to drive it.
