    Since I just posted on the forum I should say a brief hello also. I am lucky enough to live in West Palm Beach FL, where they have recently built new Ferrari AND Lamborghini dealerships a few miles from my house. Plus I have a very good private shop that works on both. Good town to be a car nut.

    I have been a hard core car guy for a long time... To name a few I have gone thru an A6, M3, 850i BMW, couple Supras, 300ZXTT, and as of late an NSX I daily drove for 6.5yrs. I do just about all the maintenance I can manage with the tools in my garage. (10yrs ago I bought the garage & pool and apparently they threw in a free house to connect the two)

    Current stable is a yellow/blk 2006 S2000, and Black/Black 2008 Jeep SRT8 (which still N/A ran 12.6 in the quarter and 4.1 0-60 with a custom tune.) Both cars are great fun. Oddly enough the S2k is worth more now than when I purchased it 4yrs ago and would give me a leg up on buying the next toy. (It is hard to move away from a ZERO maintenance car other than gas/tires/oil for such a fun gokart)... But someone long ago gave me a piece of advice regarding cars... Buy the next car you REALLY want that you can reasonably afford. I have wanted an F355 since they came out, and still find them as sharp as ever. Plus I miss the mid engine feel from the NSX. Any car that I still want after all this time... must be the next one to get. Most likely going Yellow Spider... Time will tell.


    Cheers,

    Jeff

    Welcome Jeff! If you want to join us on the drive to Everglades City Saturday for stone crabs, I will be driving my Laguna Blue S2000 leaving Palm Beach Gardens around 9AM. If you are itching for a bigger garage my house is for sale (seperate his and hers garages)...
    :)

    Welcome from a fellow S2K owner I have an AP1 and love it. I heard that wpb fcar dealership is quite a place my parents went there this winter to pick up some trinkets for me for my birthday and they were telling me about it they also said the staff was very polite and helpful.
