Well I gotta wait til after college for my Ferrari...just not practical now and I wouldn't be able to keep it stored in a garage.

However, I think my resolution is to buy a nice old Porsche 914 and spend a year just driving the heck out of it.

Non car related,
I wanna be benching 315 and deadlifting 400 by this time next year. With my bodyweight of about 170 that would be quite an accomplishment and I am ALLLMOST there :-) I gotta prepare for my first bodybuilding contest too.

I also want to get a wider friend base...With the recent ending of a relationship, I am stuck almost friendless...with a few exceptions. I gotta make some more friends and get out more.

1. Learn as much as I can from the discussions.
2. Try and contribute to the Ferrarichat community.
3. Start putting away some money (since I finally got a job) so that I can eventually propose to my girlfriend, buy a house, then get a Mondial. :-)
4. Educate my girlfriend to the point where she doesn't just say, "I saw a Ferrari today," but rather says, "I saw a 355 Spider today." (She's a driving instructor in Monmouth County, NJ, which apparently houses many an f-car.)

Happy Holidays and Happy New Years to all!
