    I vote for JimShadow, 308 GT4.

    Everything he's been thru with his car and his posts still all include exclamation points!!!!

    +1. Given what he's been through and the rules of karma he's due a couple of decades of trouble free Ferrari fun. Good luck Jim.

    Grand prize to Testarob for going through the gearbox thing with the TR, keeping it because it was his dad's car (IIRC), and continuing to sing its praises.

    Honorable mention to James in Denver for putting up with our collective "Sell the F'in Boxster Already" campaign, buying a 308 and dealing with the 'new old car' stuff like a trouper.

    Thanks guys! (Bill, you are too kind. :)
    You know it's funny, I've been asked dozens of times why I'm not more p*ssed off about the accident, the gear failure and the time away from home not being able to drive the car, especially after just getting it this past April. All I can say is that it truly is a privilige to have this car and aside from that it's a luxurious/selfish indulgence, so it would be wrong of me to be cursing up a storm about my poor Ferrari when there are so many out there just like I was several months ago still lusting after one of these. Even in the shop I could still say "I OWN A FERRARI!"
    Only we understand the joy these things bring and that is what keeps me putting all of the exclamation points on my posts despite the accident!!!
    On a side note.....

    WHOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO, SHE IS HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Continental pulled up today around 2pm. I took her for a quick spin, then up for the night. I'll be driving her some 2-300 miles tomorrow. Full report with pics then.

    :)
