Sounds like the guys at your Ferrari site would piss on you for taking it to a drive in with the common Fords, Chevys, Chryslers, Toyotas, Hondas, and Nissans we common folk drive.
I don't want to put those guys down because there are some good guys on that site....but there are some real pretentious jerks as well.
Many moons ago, as previously mentioned, I had two MG's. A 1978 B and a 1978 Midget. I liked the cars, but they have issues, mostly with the carbs and ignition systems. I found that scraping the stock equipment for a Mallory dual point and a weber carb made them way more reliable and more fun to drive. I used to show the cars all the time. But I quickly found out that the British car show circuit was run by the same group of jerks and time and time again, I would get sent to the "Modified Section" which consisted of me and one other guy who had a 1959 MGA with a blown small block Chevy in it. We were always parked 50 yards away in the sun, while all the other cars were parked together under the trees.
Needless to say, I stopped going.
The Ferrari guys aren't that bad, but car stereo's in 308's are like some kind of super no no. They act like you're spitting on Enzo's grave or something. Me, I just like music....nothing really more than that. Plus, the car does really sound beautiful, but after 10 minutes on the freeway, I'm dozing off. It's like a wonderful harmony that puts me to sleep! Sometimes I just need to drowned it out with Iron Maiden or some wicked Dubstep!
