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! -Mike |
