    [Removing rock]

    DES started posting here a few years ago. "Started posting" might not be strong enough language. He stormed on to the site, and commented on every thread. Usually with a lot of punctuation. He legally changed his name to Carbon a while ago, and when he did that he also changed his f-chat name NNO because DES was the initials of his old name. (NNO translates to Enzo, his favorite car). He started here with just the love of the marque, and he's now ridden in or driven dozens of Ferraris, including some very rare and very expensive models. He also recently landed a new job at the Ferrari Market Letter, on of the US's premier Ferrari publications.

    He's our own little success story. That avatar next to his screen name on his postings is the tattoo on his chest.

    Start with your socks, PLEASE!

    I think I speak for all of us when we say we're having trouble feeling sorry for a guy that just bought an additional Ferrari. :) You can pony up $15, just mail Rob a check. Or 3 $5's.

    Well I DID sell one of the karts finally, but had to Owner Finance it!

    Tough times my friends, tough times!

    I still haven't finished the financial gymnastics to get financing under the car!

    Anyone know how much sales tax on $25K? Do I pay that to Tex. Dot or my county tax assessor when I get plates?
