    I thinking of getting a new car...well I am always getting an new car...anyway I am thinking of a fun toy to drive to work. Right now I considering a few cars...997 GT3RS looking at one with 300 miles (although I hear there is a new one coming out in 2010) how rare are they and how hard are they to get new? I am also considering a GT2, a Ferrari 612 , Ford GT (probably not a good everyday drive but I have always wanted one) and a 2009 SL65 AMG (my '06 SL600 was one of my favorite cars I have ever had) ...all would be second hand. I have a decent number of cars so I would probably not be putting more than a few thousand miles on it a year...which makes me want to lean towards the 612 but I have never driven one and I do not know how bad they are to maintain.

    Right now I my sports cars consist of a brand new LP-506-4 an '07 F430 a '09 Aston Martin Vantage Volante, an '09 Maserati Gran Turismo, a CLK63 AMG Black Series, S63 AMG (okay not really a sports car...but it is pretty fast), a 993 Turbo, Audi R8, and an E34 M5. I am not really sure which would compliment my current collection best but the GT3 RS and the 612 are what I am interested in most...I have never driven any of these cars so input would be great.

    IMO the GT3RS is a track car, and wouldn't be a comfortable DD. I suggest a Lotus Exige or Elise or go with an R8.

    What cars do you own right now?

    I own a 612 and it is a very nice touring automatic coach, the only mechanical malady common to the model is the substandard starter fluid pump, replacement out of warranty is north of $15000 USD.

    You've done well for yourself since only having $20k for a car out of high school a couple of years ago.

    Nice car collection for a 21 year old kid.

    Wadda ya do for a living that makes you so rich?

    Vehicle Year:
    1979
    Vehicle Make:
    Porsche
    Vehicle Model:
    911SC

    And when did you upgrade your "collection" from one 30 year old 911 to a half dozen super cars?

    Or, is your "collection" 1/43 scale?

    Or, better yet, is this you behind the wheel???

    I do have a 911SC but I can assure that I am much older than 20 years old....I am not really sure what to say about that website other than that is not me. I am not really sure how I can redeem myself on this forum....I have pictures of my cars but I doubt that will help.

    No, actually the pictures would help, a lot, only with you holding a piece of paper with you username on it above the cars.

    I have always thought mid year Dodge Caravans have been vastly undervalued and not appreciated.

    I recently bought a Scion xD and put some lowering springs, window tint, and 18" wheels / tires, plus rally stripes. It is SWEET!

    I am not questioning your car collection but subscribing would give you some credibility. ( I see the irony coming from some one unsubscribed )

    Sorry, you were owned with my first post about you. Rob owned you for posting pics of other peoples cars, but was kind enough to let you stay it seems.

    Pretty amazing that you would claim the miracle that someone would have your same user name AND be from Seattle and Johannesburg.....

    Give it up. But take these with you:
