Great article, great design, great job MOTIVE!
FBDO is one of my favorite movies of all time.

It's impossible to calculate the full impact of John Hughes' 1986 feel-good flick, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, but sitting on the steps of Glenbrook North High School in Northbrook, Illinois, I think I'm pretty close to a full accounting. There I am, in the exact spot where Sloane Peterson thanked Mr. Rooney for his "warmth and compassion," staring at a rosso corsa Ferrari 250, when a white Kia Rio obstructs my view and breaks the line of saliva connecting my mouth to the concrete steps below. The window rolls down, and a high schooler pops his head out. "Whoaaa, this is like a scene straight out of Ferris Bueller!" Full Story...

again, nice!but I just noticed one thing - In the main article it is mentioned the engine is sourced from a 750, but in the graphic explaining all the parts it says it comes from a 760

When we were heading down Irving Park Road, an old man stopped mid-crosswalk to gawk at the car, and came within six inches of being taken out by a CTA bus.

nice article, and if you ever do a print magazine, count me in for a lifetime subscription

This article sucks without videos!

Looks great guys!!!
and yeah I know - it needs the headlight covers and trim rings, but we made the covers and they just don't fit right yet. I kinda felt better to not install them until they look right or it detracts from the car. If I was able to I'd just buy perfect ones, but the car has been modified to the point that nothing just fits right out of the box.
I'll take a subscription too if you ever go print!!!
Stu and the guys from Motive, thank you for including us in your new site, sorry we didn't have time for all of you to get seat time, but in the future we would be happy to allow it
Also keep us in mind when you have other features that our cars might fit with.Michelle and Haley

That's simply AWESOME!Sure, it's a replica, and of a different model of Ferrari, but talk about using your locale to its fullest! Incorporating the visit to "Cameron's house" was the pinnacle for me...More than almost anything, I simply love sitting and talking cars with people like you guys did with the owner of the house. That, was an experience of a lifetime, boys...I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did reading about it!

Thanks for the story. I think that you're a righteous dude for posting it!

Really nice job, extremely well written article.The replica looks amazing, very nice job to the builders on their work of art that I understand is still in progress.
I would love to see more of Cameron's house, I've always loved that home and garage. I still dream about building something like that someday. . . if I ever have the means.
Damn I suddenly feel old, it seems like just yesterday I was in high school and my buddies and I went to see this at the movies when it came out.
Anyway - Kudos - well done!

Man, I live in the city. All I could think about when I saw those pictures were "I was there _ days ago!" or "I live _ blocks from there!"Luckkkky.

Can you give location of each photo shoot (minus school)? I definitely want to check out the school and parking garage one day.

I was going to put the something doo in there as well. I didn't know the exact quote so I compromised.
