Hello from DC

Greetings F-Chatters. I have been lurking for a week or so, and wanted to introduce myself. No Ferrari yet, but plan on changing that in the near future. I am a lifelong car nut, and have had many fun cars (muscle cars, Vipers, Corvette, Miata, Mini), and currently drive an Elise. I've had the Lotus for 4 years now, and am ready for what's next. I think a 360 Modena is what's next.

I'm not loaded, and am not really sure I'm Ferrari material. I am also fairly financially conservative, so don't tend to go overboard on things. As a sales guy, my income varies year to year. I have had a few good years now though, and think it's become a trend. Enough of a cushion is there that I feel comfortable in the 360 purchase and maintenance price range.

I'm honestly holding myself back wondering if I deserve it. Not that I think I'm not a good person (ok, definitely not a great person), but it's not something I thought I would get. I can say that it wouldn't be the most expensive car in the neighborhood, but I think I would want to hide it from my co-workers. And cusomers...

Am I nuts? Are you nuts too?

Any nice, but not too nice 360s in the DC area?

Regards,
-Andy

 

Thanks Pearsonhaus. Strangly, my wife hasn't gone ballistic about my declaration of intent. She's not thrilled, but doesn't seem like she's gonna block it. I think I'll have to tack 25% onto the purchase price for the houseware bribes. I think the same goes for her only living once. Thankfully, her small useless objects around the house tend to be cheaper than my big useless objects.
