    I saved up and paid cash, but I do that with everything, I just hate payments even my business and equipment are paid for.

    I would have thought you could have picked up the 348 for less from Roy ;)

    In the woods once I shot a nest like the one in the picture with 6 sot out of a 12gauge. After the nest was gone the shape of the nest still hung in the air but it was the occupants of the nest. I ran like hell. :D

    That nest reminds me of last summer when I was wading down a stream fly fishing, in and out of the water. I ducked under some limbs and came face to face with one of these. I bet we weren't 18 inches apart. I had to go back home and clean out my underwear.

    make sure you make accounts not just for the car but for services as well (ie if car cost 70k add another 20 for maintanance and repairs) I think 3 bucks a mile sounds right. Another thing the right woman will never come along with that car unless is just for one night! A friend of mine bought a 355 about 2 years ago, I asked him "why don't you ever drive that thing?", he said "I can't afford too". On the other hand he would never sell it.

    Don't get me wrong, if you're going to splurge, there is no better way, it'll be the happiest day of your life.
    Very few people can sleep the night before they pick up their first Ferrari. It doesn't matter wether it's a 308 or an Enzo, your first Ferrari is a moment you'll always remember

    I pooped my pants the first night I had the car. Seriously. I wasn't in the car, thankfully I was on the couch, but I did poop my pants and I'm proud of it. Culmination of a lifelong dream. Way to start off a page, huh?

    If people followed that lead and didn't live the "American Dream" we would not be in the mess we are in!


    Remember, as I said before, they were dreaming and they woke up to a reality check!

    I had a friend recently ask me to take him out in one of my 355's....


    I calmly responded, OK I'll work you up a quote:)

    My take on things- I'd go broke on a car before a woman. You can get rid of the car, you get rid of the woman and you get 20 years to life!

    Here's my take, bought my 355 4 years ago, its held its value till recently prices are nuts on ebay too cheap for such a car so I have lost a chunk, also lost a chunk on my previous 328 was it worth it yes I suppose, btw my 355 has been the most reliable sports car I have ever owned and I have driven it a lot, I wouldn't finance one of these cars you'll be upside down if you need to sell it if you can sell it for what you paid and you'll take a big hit, Funny my 2 dream cars as a kid which I get extreme enjoyment out of a 512bb and early Turbo Carrera 930 have appreciated substantially even as of today. Good advice on marriage I am not which is why I have these cars, when you are all infatuated its easy to say yes seal the deal as you think the fun and sex will never stop my how things change especially after kids or some time together has passed you become roomates basically from my long term relationship experience
