    My first Fcar drive was with a NY friend in his 328, which he kept in a garage off Park Ave. Quite an adventure for a hayseed from the left coast mountains!!
    Did catch some air over one of the crosswalks(empty) while he was driving (90mph). I was much more sedate on my turn but still remember the initial feeling of being a rock star and how quickly it wore off after parking the car!!

    Believe it or not, Speed / Fayance yellow have the highest resale. Totally surprised to hear that. Unfortunately, not my color.

    The Midnight Blue (paint to sample?) that Jason posted a while back that was in a CT sales shop...now THAT was gorgeous!

    that midnight blue one is supposedly somewhere in NY somewhere. I wish the owner would take it to some events so I could see the color in natural light.

    There are actually two Midnight Blue cars in Deal, NJ.

    One is parked on the street during the week.

    Jason - do you remember the thread where you actually posted the original pictures? Tried searching quickly, but couldn't find it.

    Vik - I would say definitely get a Carrera GT.

    BUT I agree - I think it is too low to be practical. The same is true of the Saleen (even more so) - really not so practical.

    Zach - agree with you. Would need to likely store it somewhere outside of the City.

    CGT is coming, but will not be an 06 event. Question was more for curiosity than anything...on the back of a couple of city spots by others.

    Would be fun to go back to a manual too. Is your G an E-gear? I don't know if I'm sold on Ferrari's F1 trans. It definitely makes the car really easy to drive. Maybe too easy...?

    6-speed. Being able to directly control the shifter is a huge part of the driving experience for me. Its the only way I roll...hence no CS.
