It's nice though ain't it?

Had the F430 for a month now and am blown away by the thing. Driving it is a joy and having people come over in car parks just to look at it and ask questions is lovely - if a little embarrassing.
But you know what really gets me?
Just looking out the window and seeing the thing on the drive.
I've worked hard all my life to get to the position where I can afford something like this and that little kick in the guts I get each morning when I catch a glimpse of it out there makes all the effort worth it.
I own some property and obviously that's far more important than my car. My family and friends are much higher on my list of priorities, my health is all important, my work is everything.

But you know what, when all's said and done just seeing that baby sitting out there fires my endorphins like nothing else. It's shallow I know, and it probably makes me sound like an ar*ehole but I love this car, it means so much more than the sum of it's parts, it's a manifestation of years of toil, unnecessary no doubt, but still significant.

If business goes bad (so far it hasn't, thankfully), I'd sell it in an instant, but it would hurt much more than I'd let on.
