When I was 18, I had one of these:



I thought it looked more like one of these:



But in reality it was closer to one of these in condition:




And like Dave, I thought it ran like one of these:



However, the girl I was dating had one of these:



As you might imagine, quite often I gave up on the Mustang for the Chevy on date night.

But then I bought one of these:
(well, mine was a Ford but this is the best pic I could find on short notice)

Since nobody would tell me more about the Stratos I had to dig up the info myself. Looks like if you want one all you have to do is hand over your Ferrari + a whole lot of scheckles and you too can drive one of these. Well, not in the states, but what they heck, you can keep it at your Italian villa for when you visit.

So, the 'new' Stratos:



Or the original Stratos:



Which will it be?
