    Yes sk90077 and mattymouse, I already noticed that also, but while looking at the smaller picture with the smart fortwo, maybach 62, carrera gt and sikorsky s-76(i think) on page 2 of this thread it seems that Eric's white phantom has aftermarket wheels also.. Maybe the aftermarket wheels were added after the photoshoot?

    See, this is the picture i'm talking about:

    This is still my favorite thread, it is most inspiring and at the same time humble. So nice to hear something other than "you have to have money to make money".

    My grandma who lives in germany is going through the same spinal issues, so its nice to hear that they're ahead of us here in U.S. as far as Dr.'s treatments go. Hope your back gets the best treatment possible Eric.

    Really sorry to hear this.
    I've watched my father go through similar problems.
    Another really long story short, he has L2-S1 fused (at UCSF, they are probably the best in the country... we shopped around! a lot) and he is not better. He is collecting disability now... very sad. So I (almost) feel your pain.

    Thanks for sharing your car collection, insight, and generally upbeat and positive attitude with us!

    i have never read 21 consecutive pages in any forum in my life. I am fairly new to fchat, although i have heard about it for a while. I am glad i joined because this is the best forum out there. I saw Eric's collection in modified's luxury and exotics a month or so ago and to actually read his personal stories and tips, etc is amazing.

    I detail cars on the side and have always been a fan of ferrari's more then lambos, but that yellow gtr is the sickest car ive ever seen. Can anyone post more pics maybe of the interior, etc? the one of the rear is my desktop now but i'd love some more pics of the yellow gtr. I remember talking to thorgalsen on myspace about 2 years ago and his pictures were awesome, he will definitely have a great career in front of him.

    I would love to see the collection in person, any plans for car events in the near future eric? i can hardly afford the plane ticket being a broke college kid, but i'd make it out to LV to see that collection anyday! Thanks for sharing eric !!!!! peace

    my first time in this thread....

    life seems to happen, and make decisions for us that demand our time, immediately.

    love the cars Eric, i would get a Gulfstream and loose the helo. but i am biased :) .

    get well soon, thanks for sharing your cars with us.

    Read this thread from the first page and I must say, great collection buddy! My family has a couple of cars from your collection and you are really a model of a great businessman. Hope your back problems get better, I know my father had back problems a few years back but now he seems much better (thanks to great doctors). Have fun mate!

    thats why I didnt stay here in America for the operation, all the do here is fusion ADR is a better option, but the FDA is doing clinical trials with outdated implants from the late 80's and they are finding their cases had the same problemd they had in 87-89 in Germany. So I went to the cutting edge of spinal surgeons in the world, insurance didnt cover it I spent over $100,000. My dr in germany trained all the big time back Drs here in america, our country is so far behind Germany it a shame.

    well, take it easy matey, hope your back gets sorted by the operations

    I've got a friend who teaches martial arts, he doesn't do it for the money, he doesn't do it for the ego boost, he does it to give something to others... to make the lives of people he comes into contact with a bit better. He doesn't have much £££ to his name, but you know what....he's happy!!! he's happy because he's got good friends around him and because he's got his health and he's got a son who's growing up to be a decent human

    a persons health is worth more than most people realise, it's the one thing most of us take for granted until we don't have it... If we lose our health and then get it back, THAT'S when people realise how important it is.

    I hope you get your back sorted Eric, then you'll have everything in the world... the cars and the planes will be the icing on the cake (a VERY nice icing though, LOL)

    keep posting pictures of any new cars you get, so that you keep putting a little smile on the faces of people like me !

    I don't mean to pry ... and I hope this doesn't come as a really bad question at a really bad time, but after what just happened to New Century Financial ... how is all the recent sub prime activity affecting you?

    For the record, I hope its not affecting you negatively at all.

    If I had Bill G $$$$ I would have a 777 with all my cars , ATV's etc in the cargo space, and make the rest of the jet a house and buy a second jet for staff to follow behind and travel the globe driving all the roads I wanted to when I wanted too. So actually I need a second 777, just like I need a second Enzo-which hasnt arrived yet, I have a few fire's to put out etc before I buy one. I never ever buy a car that is getting in the way of building my empire and right now Enzo's are high and spending a Mil on a car wouldnt be smart. I'm not a billionaire or close(yet). I do everything in ratios by instinct, when I enought extra cash then I'll buy property, etc. Right now I'm finishing one project thats eating alot of cash so a car isnt good.....yet. but biz is fine so in due time :)

    I am just wondering if I will get my first Enzo before you get your second Enzo.

    Can you give any insight into how you choose a property to buy. Do you pay cash or a percentage down, home rentals, commercial real estate....

    I own a small little software company which put me in the corvette and lexus class, you inspired me to work harder to take it to the next level! - Many thanks for the kick in the pants!
