Fixing an ugly Ferrari

No, not the 458 Italia ( ... ... )

The, 'big butt' equipped Ferrari California.

The first comment given, makes me oh so glad I put, 'subjectively fixed'.

I hate the giant ass this car has in order to fit the folding hardtop, and the body line is just way too low. You almost have to be 4 foot tall to comfortably open the doors.

Most sports cars have a low body line & were never the easiest to get in or out of. It's fine once you're in though.

I must admit that this is not the nicest looking Ferrari I've ever seen. It was obviously designed for the American market.

Most are low, but this one is really low.  The door handle on this car is about level with my knees.
The lowest one I've ever owned was a 1984 RX-7, the body line was at my pelvis, and the roof line was even with my chest.  Hard to get in & out of, but a real joy once you're in it. 8-)

  If this is what Maranello thinks Americans want, I may have to move.

Nice attempt!

[color=#000000]Nice edit. But I too, an a non-fan of big wheels. As to being low, though not nearly as bad as the Ferrari, my '01 Z28 has become a real pain for me to get in and out. To begin with, I'm 6'3" and 290 lbs. And my arthritic, herniated disc back has gotten a lot worse over the last couple of years. Yes, it's fine once in, but getting in and out has become a real uncomfortable chore. Having said all that, it has not gotten bad enough for me to consider trading it in yet.
