Great video. I bought my 1982 308 GTSi 5 years ago after I was dignosed with life-shortening heart failure and learned the odds are 50/50 to make it 5 years. I'm still here and I'm having the best time driving it and learning how to maintain and restore it. I recommend anyone wanting one to get one. The engines and gearboxes are tough and it's a fu#%in Ferrari!

[@AutoAfflicted]

That’s awesome! Glad to hear that you’re still with us and enjoying life

I also have an '85 308 GTS. Love it. One of my favorite cars to drive. Very affordable "supercar".

[@AutoAfflicted]

Total time capsule

[@maseraticc2834]

Like Brendan I am an average guy and have a 328 GTB - despite us owning almost entry level Ferraris, they are just wonderful things to own and drive! Great video, thank you!

[@AutoAfflicted]

The whole thing is a vibe despite the price point…. Got me looking for mortgage my house 🏎️

[@maseraticc2834]

@@AutoAfflicted haha yes do it...! 🙂👍

[@AutoAfflicted]

I would like a 355 Spider or hard top

[@TheKillWizard]

Beautiful, still beautiful in 2024. Icon of Italian motors.

[@RT_today]

Every time I see one those I always think of Christie Brinkley in National Lampoons. Luv Me!

[@AutoAfflicted]

Classic scenes for sure!

[@jrgb9945]

Holiday Road?

[@dogerkarlstrom5676]

regarding Hp, it was a sprintpack option with borgo high comp piston, P6 lemans camshaft etc, it was suppose to have 300hp.

[@AutoAfflicted]

Nice!

[@ANDERZENAMG]

This video was above average 😎🤙🏼 sick car!

[@AutoAfflicted]

🙏🏼 always fun times capturing and experiencing new cars

The engine sound for this V8 is different than what you're used to with American V8s is due to the flat plane crankshaft vs. cross plane crank.

[@AutoAfflicted]

That makes perfect sense, I had not considered that

[@therealaligshow]

I loved doing this episode - Brendan is an average guy’s average guy

[@Omarr146]

Nice Magnum PI clothes style and beautiful 308! Can you please do a night driving video?? I want to see the dash lights and the dome light on and all lights on at night!

[@AutoAfflicted]

Thank you! Was a fun episode to make

[@InTheVaultss]

I don’t have a 308 YET… but I bet you 100$ that the gas flap is to protect the body from the gas pump nozzle

[@AutoAfflicted]

It absolutely is - I love that feature

[@goatmonkey2112]

If you can fix up pinball machines, you deserve the money. I have one and it's a rats nest of wires and stuff in there when you open it up.

[@daakrolb]

Man it is what dreams are made of…. Mine anyway.

[@fasteddy07]

I wish I was as average as Goulet P.I.

[@AutoAfflicted]

You’re way above average

[@frankvella6159]

Mommy' helped out I bet 😂😅

[@AutoAfflicted]

Brendan does all his own work, don’t think his mom helped at all, she’s not mechanically inclined

[@timsgta]

buy some clothes that fit

[@AutoAfflicted]

Clearly you failed to notice I was dressing like 80s Magnum PI

[@pegasis0066]

Lose the shields - looks cheap and fake.
