    No sir. This is the only site I use this screen name on. I may be able to get up the photos of when I bought it, I think I have them saved in an email. I use a work provided blackberry, along with my wife, so I can't take pictures now. If you really NEED proof, I could go buy a digital camera if necessary.

    GT-R, although thinking I will give the 458 a fair shot at the task...I still can't believe this 11 second car dips the side view mirror for you when you're parallel parking

    The Porsche is faster out of the hole, but the Ferrari's top end is stronger. There's nothing in it in a drag but the Porsche's overtaking grunt makes it feel fractionally quicker in real world driving.

    I like the Wife's ride parentheses (boxster, SLK, stereotypical hairxxxxxxxx car). Anyway, I use my 458 daily to work for 4-5 days a week when I drive alone as the 458 is a personal space of mine and it is very private. I used to have a Cali and then I didn't like it enough to drive it daily so I drove my Merc SUV to work. These days, my Merc SUV is left for perhaps one day a week. Funny, the 458 is so much fun and joy to drive that it replaces the Merc as the daily and now the Merc is saved for the special occasion. Daily for me, 458. Good boot, great ride, superb sensory feeling daily dose.

    However, I do not drive the 458 when I a with my sister and with a client. I want to save it for myself as the DD. As I say I like Ferrari for myself and not to flash the badge around so I am still not as overt in displaying my trophy as in some other cultures like in China. In China, you are expected to see a client in garish outfits and styles as you are more respected that way. For me, I am on the humble side and rather go more private. Diff culture.

    I read this recently, very interesting, it is true that the Qatar, Saudi and China have their tailor needs for special colors. What's classic to them like PINK is not classic to us.

    I am more sided with the personal enjoyment than public display of wealth.

    OT, I've had the same poster since high school. And judging by your name, description of 100 hour workweeks and years of PG Ed., I think it's safe to say you're an M.D. Hope to join the same ranks in a few years, can't wait to start my hospital rotations next year!

    +1. Love the trend of BMWs ;)

    2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 is Chrysler Group’s all-new 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 with Fuel Saver Technology that delivers 470 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque – an improvement of 50 horsepower and 45 lb.-ft. torque over the 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 it replaces

    It's been a great SUV for me.It's small and powerful.I had the previous 6.1 version and enjoyed it as a daily driver
