2 Porsches, most recently a 997 Carrera S.

Aluminum Cobra Replica, scary fast. Still own it.

2 Lamborghini Gallardos, most recently a special order '06.

2 Ford GT's, presently own an '06. Fantastic car and a keeper.

1 AMAZING '07 F430 Coupe. The best yet!

(Plus a couple of bullet bikes, most recently an R1. Wife says no bikes)

 

Seems to me you buy these cars for the wrong reasons.

 

why so glum, chum?

most people who want a ferrari cannot afford one as their first car... so they end up with many other cars until they get their first ferrari.

there's nothing wrong with that..

Nothing, that wasn't my point.

 

That retort speaks volumes. Actually I don not believe I "pretend" anything. Have a good life.

 

First it was a Datsun 510 the neighbor gave me and my brother, we were far away from 16 at the time, but still drove it around. Then it was a Posche 944, '83 Porsche 928S in '87 and I was 16, then a 3.2 Carrera and finally the 328GTS at 20.

On top of these I've flirted with many Maseratis - since 2002 I've spent many happy miles on Maserati Spyder, Coupe, Gransport and this summer a Quattroporte Automatica. All great cars but they need another 100HP to win my heart over again from Ferrari...
