Ferrari “Dino” 246 from maybe 1967. Had a sweet little V6 behind the driver.

Sexy... The emblem looks a lot different than the dancing horse.

While the cars were built by Ferrari, the Dino badge got spun off. They were sold and serviced by the Ferrari dealer network. Dino was Enzo Ferrari’s son.
Sadly the Dino badge included one of the dorkiest-looking cars ever to come out of Maranello. Behold the Dino 308 GT4.
Meanwhile dad’s brand was making this iconic car. It was gorgeous but surprisingly low on performance.
I'm supersized they would cheapen their name like that. I have a friend that has a late model mazaratti something or other and said it has a ferrari engine. Not sure if that's true or not, but it's loud!

do you know the model and year? The current Maserati line up look ok but not like the sporty ones of years past; just typical Euro luxury sedans

Yup, Maserati is now a division of Ferrari. They technically share motors with them, but the Ferraris use a flat-plane crankshaft which gives them that wonderful hair-raising snarl when you poke them with a stick.
Maserati puts in the more familiar composite-plane crank, and their cars sound, well, Mustangy.
or put. It seems that Ferrari and Maserati are dissolving their motor partnership.

Too much competition for the fading NBA dollar

It's a 2018 I'm pretty sure this is the car going by looks same colour pic I found on the web. When I first saw it I thought he bought an Infinity Q50
Would anyone want one if it didn't have a ferrari motor? The Q50 and ES350 look almost the same for a fraction of the cost.

My first car. Mine was silver with a black vinyl top.
It was known as the 'silver streak' at school.
'67 T bird with 37,000 miles in 1975. 9mpg with tail wind.
$1100 and my dad said I paid too much for it.

This was like mine, but it had a baby blue hood, bought it at a gas station off of Colfax in Denver for $180.
Owned it for two weeks before the cops told my dad (I was 15 and didn't have a license and he didn't know) That I was seen parking it the day before down the street.
The cops had been looking for it for 3 weeks in connection with an Arson. Dad suggested that I just turn over the title.
Never heard any more about it.

No -- I be a retired glassblower. The kind that works out of a furnace and uses pipes and jacks. All the stuff that Evoteck Theater did was just a bunch of people who got together for fun. We did have a theater in the heart of Buckhead (like Times Square for Atlanta) at one point. We had a lot of standing room only shows and it was the only theater company in Atlanta that had no government money involved. We also set up a cabaret at one point. The One Shoe Laughing Industrial Cafe. I wish we had taped those shows. Uncle Heavy Dude was played by a guy named Carlos Dwa. He use to write some of the stuff for the theater. He also wrote the best Science Fiction novel I ever read -- though you probably never heard of it. It was titled The Unwritten Book: Xellex. or something like that. He also wrote a killer three act play for us that was the last full length production before we all went our separate ways. The videos were just for rehearsal aids, and documentation I guess. They rotted away in someones closet for years, then I called a friend in ATL and got him to try to digitize the remains. He was able to resurrect some of them. They were VHS tapes and they were in bad shape. I have been going through some of them lately and posting them on YouTube. Basically for the folks who used to be involved in the group. ONly been able to find a hand full of them. The best one by far, IMHO is Sex, Blood, and the Phenomenology of Pretense. You can see it here if interested. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCD4nI7D7J0bWf67vEJK81aQ?view_as=subscriberIt is a frame of mind and a time piece.
Meaning the viewer should have some idea of the plot to enjoy the show, like most video productions.
Are you still active in audio productions?
Obviously not for everybody.
