    How about some pics of your car "collection".

    My collection, excluding the daily driver (a Toyota Prius - yes I know) is a Ferrari 360 and a Mazda MX-5. Both are fun, and one is cheap to buy and run :)

    Show us your collection....

    I can't believe how big that Miata looks next to the 360!

    4 cars, 2 car garage. That is clearly way less than ideal for a true car guy, but I've learned that sometimes you have to pick your battles in life. I will fix that one day, but the location more than makes up for it... which has a slip to keep my boat. I often debate which was the better purchase, the boat or the Ferrari??? Both are special toys I feel honored to own, and both truly uphold the dream of ownership. I have a cheap Ferrari and a small boat, but I have a ton of fun with both! Some of my best memories are days spent enjoying either with family and friends. Toys like cars and boats can make you feel truly alive and are so worth the extraordinary expense, in my humble opinion. I have never regretted either purchase and I wish I would have bought both of them sooner! :)

    Hopefully the Big Dogs on the forum will start posting their collections as well. It would be great to have everyone's entire collection in one thread.

    Like PhilNotHill says:

    Life is good.
    Life is better driving a Ferrari.
    And may the horse be with you.

    Would that be a super air 210 TE?

    Yes sir! I bought it new in 2005 and it literally changed my life. I grew up with ski boats in the 70's and 80's but that's nothing like owning it yourself. (For better AND worse!) My SANTE 210 TE has been completely reliable and looks absolutely incredible for the number of years and hours it has on it. Definitely a product that I highly endorse. I can only HOPE that buying a new Ferrari, when that day finally comes, is remotely close to the experience I've had with this boat!

    Beautiful collection, Arnie! I love your choice in sports cars. I lust for a 458 spider and I sold an '86 930 a few years ago. RIGHT before they shot up in value!!! Oh well, you can't win them all. Cheers, I'm sure you'll be keeping your beautiful 89 cab. I know I would. :)

    I have an 04TE. All white with a blue stripe and blue tower. I could say it changed my life too.. 3 Torn ACL's and a back surgery. Needless to say I only use it for wakesurfing and lounging now. They are epic boats.

    And as for the Ferrari. The SANTE was my first major purchase. It was one of my dream toys to own. As I was younger, the Ferrari was a little out of reach. But now having it, I can honestly say it outweighs the boat by quite a bit. At least for me it was. I hope you get to experience that soon.

    My cars at Ferrari of New England getting serviced (they are both brand new to me) I'm getting the 512 tr wheels painted grey, just as the 355's are.

    Was going to sell the 512, but I can't bring myself to.

    Sure - It's honestly more like my cars invaded our barn. Looks good but for all practical purposes not the best place for cars.

    Especially when your Brother In Law leans on one after a few drinks and your forced to yell at him in front of 8 people - Got a couple of dirty looks.

    The black car is an Elan? Maybe he'd trade the stratos for my bimmer and the old Volvo SUV? 2 for 1 deal?!

    Yes, a 246GT, a Lancia Stratos, an Elise. Then a Lotus Elan and a Lotus 23.
