Without the spare tire you have even more space and if you're by yourself you can load that passenger seat at infinitum.

Lee:
Glad to hear it's running so well. After your worries when buying it, I know how you may have been sweating the first few weeks. Sounds like all is well with Black Beauty! Can't wait to get some Knoxville Ferraris together...
Later,
Lee

Pretty funny Tim.

Although I don't like raising gas prices myself (especially if there is no good reason behind it), let's not forget, that in Europe you'd still pay about twice the US rates. How about six bucks for a gallon?

DES- you are on track for 50k miles a year. thats alot of gas, oil changes and probably a clutch. If you drive alot less you will be able to buy a ferrari alot sooner. As soon as gas started getting expensive i stopped driving places, and i also started using cruise control to save gas too.
in case you didnt know, heres what gas has been going for (at least a month ago it was like this)

I did about half dozen 1 X 12s, 8 feet long on top of a Corvette once. Nothing weird in the GT4, tho.

Has anyone strapped a X-Mas tree on top of their F-Car roof or anything large on top besides human.

I have hauled pine straw and lumber in my various Ferraris over the years.

In the 8 weeks and two days i've had my car, i've put 8,320 miles on it... The grocery store is less than a mile from my house; the office is 7/8 of a mile from my house... i don't know how all those miles go on there... :-)

You are not alone. I go to my health club with the F cars where is only about 3 miles from where I live. But I made extra 20 miles more around the lake and two long bridges before I get to the health club.

Very addictive to drive more on these marquees :-)

What? No milk or eggs??? Did you know if you put the eggs, some sliced ham and other bits on the engine and drive around the track a few laps when you are done, you will have a great omelet :-)

Enjoy the Meal,

I think that short stop-and-go driving isn't particularly good for the car. So......

When I have to go to the mall (about 5 miles away), I make it a rule that I can't turn left at intersections. Turning right out of the mall takes me thru farm country, past the golf course, down by the river, and back on the freeway.

Eventually I make it home.

...but tonight, my wife said we needed a loaf of bread. I said, "Oh! Oh! I'll get it!" I had to move two cars out of the way on the driveway. I live 3-4 blocks from a minimart. I returned with 40 miles more on the odometer of my new-to-me fcar!
