    It's been one year to the day, (july 2nd, 2003 - 6 days before my 22nd birthday) that I bought my maranello. with 12,299 on the clock then, I have now got 26,737.

    I have to say, the car has been the source of a lot of joy, a lot of random events, a lot of fun, a few mishaps, only one ticket (yesterday!!), and basically got me hooked.

    I have abused this car, enjoyed it, taken care of it, learned about it, broken it, fixed it, not washed it, done wierd things to it (bike rack), and in general had a good time with it.

    As the stable grows, I look forward to the years coming. I must say, I don't think I'm selling this car...

    The most important thing about owning this car, however, is the people I have met and continue to meet as a result of it. Some very dear friends have come in the course of a common passion (from before this, but now too).

    You know who you are.

    Congratulations! Great post.

    Now if I could only figure out why you don't have any pictures of your baby in your avatar or profile...

    I actually did see those when he first posted them. I was just being greedy and asking for more. ;) And honestly curious as to why pics of his car weren't in the profile. :) But thank you for taking the time out to point those to me.
