As classic car enthusiasts, we live with a foot in two completely different worlds. One foot is firmly placed in the past, with steel and iron and rubber molded into a moving object from a time when computers were science fiction and electricity\u2019s predominant purpose was to light up your house at night.<\/p>\n

Think about that for a moment, in 1984, when the \u201cmodern\u201d Ferrari Testarossa first came on the market, there was no Internet, no email. The advent of a publicly accessible Internet, in the late 1980s not only revolutionized the world, it revolutionized the classic car hobby, as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
