    The first thing that always happens when driving one of my other cars is I hit the rev limiter in 1st and 2nd and I am left wanting more!!!!!

    That's great. I can't wait. ;)

    How about the handling differences between the Modena, GT2 and CGT? I'm sure it's leagues ahead of both because of the carbon fiber tub, the insanely low center of gravity et al but I'm curious to hear your experiences and impressions.


    Many thanks,

    Yes, in about a year or so I plant to have one. A black one popped up at the local Porsche dealer and I stared at it for about 30 minutes, and would have stared longer but that would have been in poor taste. I told the dealer that it was mine and that I'd be back in a year with a check.

    But when something moves you like that-- a painting, a sculpture, a song, a woman (although looks only go so far), that's when you know you must have something. The only other things that have moved me like that were one painting, several bronze sculptures from the same artist, several pieces of music, a few poems, and the woman I'm going to marry.

    These, along with children, family and close friends, are that matter in life.



    Forza,

    Remind him daily how much his dad kicks ass. Stand next to your car and point at it, then point back to yourself, then back to the car. Follow this up by beating your chest and hollering. He'll get the idea.

    This made my night! Beautifully written, and 100% true. It isn't about the cars - it's how they make you FEEL. Thanks for the inspirational words!

    Many thanks. And you can be sure that I'll post pics as soon as I cut that check. ;)

    I'm in WV and I know I'll drive through those lovely mountains of TN. We'll keep in touch.
