    Ryan--- Thanks for the generous praises and approbation, guy. It is indeed my 3rd F-cars in less than 6 months. To be fair, I don't blame her, man. At least for today, Adam gets a place to park his Mustang convertible in my spot...lol.

    Great car, looks very nice. Like the red piping. I dont get women like this though, jeez you could be out doing tons worse! Its your house to, if you have the money theres really no reason for a reaction like that. Its what you enjoy. Im sure she does things she enjoys..sheesh! Enjoy the car!

    Ok....perhaps I am a bit abtuse tonight but is the radio system in a 360 a bit of a pain in the a** to figure out? I supposed I will need dig out the Stereo manual book.

    Well, maybe she just needs to take a ride in the 360 on some twisty deserted road to cheer her up about it, I think that might help, it would help me....

    P.S. Yea, its worth it :p

    She has to find your assets first, sell them to your father or brother for $1 @ for safe keeping :) Then tell THEM to hide them

    Jeff...two entirely dictintive animals but I love them both for various reasons. Differences are too numberous to name. In general, I digged the brutal power of the 512TR through it wasn't very urban friendly and I love her exotic look. She was so beautiful, man..I could spend hours staring at her without blinking. The 360 is a lot more street friendly and she is as smooth as silk. I'm getting a real kick out of all the electronic gagets and technological ammenities it offers.

    The reliability factor also plays a big role....I must confess I always had this fear of something going wrong at the most inopportune time when I drove my 512TR (it doesn't help that I am mechanical inept) whereas I don't get that feeling driving the 360M, at least so far.....

    I bought my wife a beautiful 380SL - she didn't like it. Then I bought her a Boxster S - she loves it. (See my profile.)

    This weekend I am looking at yet another F-car - this could be the one.

    Its called "greasing the skids", mate!!!!

    Cheers

    Makes sense, dude....
    Unfortunately, for as long as I know my wife, she couldn't care less about cars. As far as spending, I'm never one to stop her from buying anything she wants......

    Yeah, sometimes these colloquialisms don't quite translate properly....






    ....but I stand by my statement in this instance. (Cue the rim shot/cymbal crash)

    Thank you - I'm here all week.

    Tom,

    Just picked this thread up. Congratulations my friend on this terrific car! She looks gorgeous. I actually think I know where you saw her. I'm glad things worked out.

    Oh, BTW, no disrespect to the wifey at all, but the answer to the question is a resounding "yes." ;)

    My sweetie didn't really care about cars when I met her (c. 1990). We used to go by this showroom in Sydney and I would give her the full bottle on every car in the place.

    One day she went in by herself (I was probably in the pub or something) and began reciting all the information back to the salesman - she said it was hilarious to watch the sales guy's face as she launched into her speech about the Espada "Well, the V-12 is great and of course its nice to do 250kph with three of your closest friends, but this Gandini styling..."

    Guess I am saying that it took me about 7 years but she is finally getting that I am a car guy!!!

    Hope you have a comfortable sofa to sleep on...and congrats on the 360!!!

    Cheers
    Kevin

    Both Gary and his rig are amazing. Nobody, and I mean Nobody, will painstakenly deliver a car like Gary. He will protect your ride and deliver it as fast as humanly possible.

    Haven't been at F-chat since Friday, and see what happens in the short-time.

    Tom, your addiction is a good type, not bad one, so don't worry. There's always pros & cons on any situation, right?

    I remember you were looking for 550, then 360 spider (yellow/black), and ended up w/ this beatiful red beast.

    Congrat, and enjoy your drive!

    Having a whale of a time with her! Found a great crew in the Tri-State Area that, like me, enjoy driving their cars, and every weekend we're always upto some mischief or the other. ;)

    Take a peek in the New York Tri State Forum to see what kind of naughty stuff we are up to.
