    That C64 was amazing :) I loved Commodore 64 actually. I had same version as he did and also the latest model. Before i had Sinclair ZX Spectrum with that rubber buttons. Damn, that was great time.....

    I have learned one thing from fchat over the years. That thing is, there are too many pretentious out there that have an opinion on everything someone states. At the end of the day whether or not he is real, is your opinion. What do we gain from the truth, or lack thereof in his post? NONE. If he is dreaming let him dream, WE ALL STARTED OFF POOR AND DREAMING. To the gentleman who posted this thread, buy whatever you like. If you are blessed to buy a Ferrari, get it. people who give you snide looks or remarks about your car. I personally could give 2 less about what some ****** who doesnt have a Ferrari thinks of me for owning, and driving mine. That is MY opinion!

    to all the people accusing me of being a scammer, lier, or whatever... thanks.

    I have a small debt I keep revolving to maintain my current credit score ...

    I am sure many of you know this but if you dont use credit, you dont get a good credit history/score.
    It is in the low 1000s and most of it is always paid in full monthly.

    The guilty feeling comes from my childhood I am sure. I currently drive a 80K car anyways, I guess the 100k barrier for a car really plays with your mind.
    But like many of you say, I am sure once I am driving I ll forget all about it:)

    thanks for your comments. You understood me correctly.

    I am one of those compulsive savers you mention. I wish everybody in this board were as insightful as you are.

    Im not trying to be a goob, but you say your cc is usually in the low 1000's per month and you say "and most of it is always paid in full monthly"

    My question is is why would a guy with 1m in the bank almost always pay a $1000 cc bill of monthly. Obviously to acrue 1m is savings your a great saver. Why then would you throw interest away on a cc payment that is always almost paid in full? :) :)

    A lot of people on this board, sometimes ones who are moderators (not to knock the mod on this thread), like to pretend they are important, and they take unusual delight in picking on folks. Don't let those particular pretentious folks cause you any grief, if you decide you want the car buy it, if not, don't. Bum rides with those who have one, until you're comfortable in buying one. It's a great car, however, if you just want to get one to look at it, don't. They are meant to be driven, and if you can't drive one without thinking about depreciation, don't do it. They are meant to be driven, not looked at in the garage.

    I don't see what the big deal is with the million in the bank and having a little debt... I was working on the financials of one guy and he is worth more than a hundred million with approx 50+ million in cash at the bank. For the 4 years of financials I had he carried about 15,000 in debt annually.

    Lurker? Yes. Wannabe no. Ferraris are cars just like everything else out there, and yes I am enjoying ownership of an exotic, and have for years. Not a Ferrari, they are more common place than Lambos. Anyone can spend 100k for a Ferrari, or any USED exotic. All you have to do is buy the F-car instead of a Porsche, or Vette, or Viper, ect. A 100k 360 might be special to some, but to people used to having money, its not a big deal. Its a big deal to people who spend their days pining away for one, when you growup around these things, they become common place(yes, I know I will get tons of backlash for that comment,Its the truth though). How is Prague? Im thinking of going there in March, any recommendations would be appreciated.

    Now about as good of a time as any as the prices have dropped considerably. Get a used F430 coupe and enjoy life.

    Yeah, i have seen a few local ones at around 150k-160k.
