Caiola, who died in April at the age of 79, did not limit his love to Ferraris, and there are some other equally enticing exotics that none of us can afford but we'd all love to drive.

We've always loved the Dino. Oh sure. It isn't very fast, and a whole lot of hot hatches will probably spank it hard on a slalom. But just look at it. It's gorgeous. Enzo Ferrari built the Dino to honor his late son Dino, and the idea was to create a more "accessible" Ferrari. It featured a 2.4-liter V-6 engine with three Weber carbs in a package good for 175 horsepower.
This particular car is one of just 1,274 GTS models built. It was first sold in California, then spent time in Japan and Hong Kong before returning to the United States seven years ago. It looks great in fly yellow with Cromodora wheels.
Look for the car to bring at least $160,000. We're buying lots of lottery tickets.
