    Nowhere to go for me now TBH....dont like 430 and cant afford the £200k ($400k) for a Scuderia, nor do I see it justifying a price tag double that of my Strad. Next purchase will probably be a classic Ferrari to join my Strad.....308 or 328 perhaps??

    I have owned over 300 cars in my lifetime. Started out with a 240Z. Pretty much trading sideways these days and I have run out of garage space to hold any more cars.

    Hey okhjoon, nice cars! I'm surprised you got an 04 SL a year after you got the 03 SL... any particular reason?

    Also, your profile seems out of date. It doesn't have your Ferrari listed in it... what color F430 Spider did you get?

    Started with a 1967 VW Karmann Ghia I restored with my dad (loved that car but was totalled when I was rearended). Painted Clemson Orange with latex house paint when we got it, but we had it painted a deep metallic blue as part of the resto.

    1984 RX-7 GSL-SE -White(the limited model with the FI 13B Rotary, miss that car too. Saw it on a used lot 3 or 4 years after I sold it with over 150K miles on it (I had put on over half of those).

    1987 RX-7 Turbo (my first red car, since I really am not a red car guy). Pretty fun, but old ladies with a mitsubishi colt could outrun me to about 40 MPH! Sold it to a friend and the motor let go a year later. Not my fault, as the Turbo Rotary motors are not that reliable.

    1987 CRX DX Silver (pretty much a sporty, impractical econobox, but I liked it)

    1988 CRX SI Yellow(first year of this body, and my first new car) My mom actually kept this car after I moved on to my next ride and only sold it about a year ago!

    1968 Camaro SS Blue- Started restoration (this was the late 80's so it was not really a collectible and I paid about $2000 fot it if memory serves) , but sold it and the next car below to buy my first house before it was done.

    1991 Mustang GT ragtop-White (not gray on the bottom like most GT's). Wrecked it the first week I had it, so had Saleen rear wing and 92 wheels put on it, along with lowering and gears, exhaust, pullies, etc. A fun car and lots of good memories. When I first got it I made my poor girlfriend drive over 100 miles to visit relatives for the holidays in 40 degree weather with the top down!

    1965 Corvair. Lowered, IROC wheels, fiberglassed in spoiler. Red. The car had been traded to a local "corvette" dealer but had all the work done by a friend. Great attention getter for the money!

    1979 Civic Hatchback with a blown engine that I repaired myself. I was buying my first house, so I had to sell the Mustang to get some cash up. Silver with over 300000 miles

    1988 BMW 325i Cabrio. Black. Lowered it and put on 3 piece BBS wheels. Loved that car and it really looked great after a girlfriend egged it when she thought I was cheating on her (I was not as it turned out!) and insurance paid for a new paint job.

    1996 Ford Explorer V8 2WD Maroon. My first I am getting too old and responsible to just have fun cars. Also my first lease.

    For a few years here I worked for BMW/Acura/Honda and drove company cars, too numerous to list even if I remembered them all!

    1998 Ford Expedition. Blue. This was for my wife whose 1996 328is was stolen and totalled on Valentines day.

    1991 NSX Coupe Black- My first "dream car" that I actually got to own. I had wanted one since 1991 when I first saw one at the dealer.

    1999 Chevy Silverado (Blue/Silver) Truck for work, but also my primary vehicle.

    1998 NSX-T White- Moving up to newer and nicer on the dream car list!

    2000 Saab 9-5 Aero Wagon. Black-Great looking car, but a ***** to keep clean as it was the wife's and she does not wash cars.

    2002 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab Diesel- Pewter Silver. Again truck for work. Still have it and drive it almost every day.

    1997 NSX-T White (Identical to the 98 I had before, which is funny since they only made 7 of the white/black 6 speeds for the US in each year). I had to sell the 98 to buy out a partner in a business venture, but could not get over not having one. Still have this car.

    2002 Honda Odyssey- Grey/green metallic- Wife's (actually had to wait 3 months to get one of these from Honda, as there was a waiting list and everyone paid MSRP!

    2005 Honda Odyssey-Black - Wife's- She hated Minivans, but soon found the practicality outweighed the cons. Say what you will, but these things are very nice and drive wonderfully. Tons of room and the 05 has BMW like equipment levels. Still have this, but selling it.

    1963 Corvette Split Window Coupe. White. Always have wanted one of these since High School and finally bought a two owner restored one last year. A very fun car, even though it really shows you how far auto technology has come over the years! (still have it)

    2007 BMW X5 4.8i- White- Surprise for wife as 10th annivesary present. That was a VERY good night!! (still have it)

    Next? Maybe finally pulling the trigger on an F-car soon, although I have to say that I love the NSX and I am really not sure I will like the F-Car experience with all things considered compared to it. Still, like the Corvette and the NSX, it has always been a dream to own one, so even if it goes to poop, I can at least say I tried it!
