Man, that sure LOOKS like a TR-6 variant. Of course its not, but it sure LOOKS like one.  Sabra, perhaps?    ???

No "ouch" intended. You KNOW I am fully capable of adminstering an "ouch" if I am so inclined. :D

I just wish I was not so goldurned dense about these things.  But then again, I don't use google, as I wish to preserve my rookie status for as long as possible!    :joker:

I thought it had some mini-Ferrari lines to it, thus believed it to be Fiat....

BTW, I was gonna be a smart-ass and identify the Burlington Northern JD-1304 six-man caboose, but......

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say that it was a Maserati 3500GT Spyder Vignale.

Hmm; twin exhausts, the shape of the rear lights is bugging me. May we ask if it is V12 or V8?
