    Yeah, thankfully it's over now. How do you like the 360?

    I made a deal on a fully optioned 07 F430 Berlinetta. Transport is picking it up on Monday.

    There's a silver lining then - you definitely got peak money for your car. Depreciated only 30% of its value in 20 years!

    Great choice Eric. But, of course, I would have gone with a spider. :)

    F1 or manual?

    Do they still say "sweet" of is it "dope" or just "cool"? Whatever, sorry to see you leave the 355 group, but if I have it my way I'll be joining you in the F430 section in a year or 2.

    Congrats Eric. If you want close to 355 Capristo sound, I've driven one that's come pretty close.

    1. Agency Power 4-1 Headers
    2. 200 cell HJS cats.
    3. Kriessieg Muffler (run with open valves).

    Actually sounds better than my Scud at the moment with more low end response. The factory muffler is very restrictive and heavy.

    Yes, Neil. Number 3 is sold. Down to 2 and one is in parts but looking forward to getting back at it. Planning a bare metal respray but need to find the right shop or I might put a booth in my shop and do it myself which would probably be the best option.

    WOW! We have 2 male Bengals that are 4 generations from wild, they were very "playful" and really very mean as kittens, I can only imagine the handful your young Bobcat could be.

    I want one!

    Who? How? Cost? Permits?

    I got mine from a breeder in Montana. Bitterroot Bobcat & Lynx:  Bobcats and Lynx as Pets!

    Every state is different regarding permits. Since you're in Florida, I could contact Julie. She's a very well known breeder in your state. Julies Jungle Home
