Suggestion
I would argue that if it weren't for my purchase(s), the seller wouldn't have the liquidity to go change the world.
Leading evidence: 'Replace world' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace world' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt.

Some of you may remember several months ago when I posted that I had placed an order for a new Ferrari F430 Spider F1. Well, I'm happy (and still a little shocked) to report that my new baby is in my garage. Thought I'd share a few pics...
very nice spider and I like the color combo. You have the same line up as a buddy of mine. He has a Targa, a F550, and just got a new DB9 conv. Enjoy your rides.
that is the ugliest car I have ever seen....the other 2 are ugly to!!
:
RIGHT!!!!..
beautiful lineup!!! Love the color combo and the aston M is very sexy as well......you are a lucky man!!
I just KNEW I shouldn't have opened this thread!
My wife says you are crazy to spend that much money on cars when you could have fed the hungry, etc.
I say - Adopt me, please!!! I can cook eggs, and peanut butter and jelly!
Awesome, simply awesome! Good luck with the Ferrari!
I know, but I've just had dinner, it's getting late on Sunday and I'm trying to relax after putting the kids to bed - I was being nice out of semi-exhaustion.
Holy crap, two weeks AND a cat, and you are still sane enough to type? You are a better man than I am!
You need a break from that stress, so I won't add to it..... tonight!
Maybe you need to double up on your therapy sessions for the remainder of January.
F-car is a stunner. We just did plugs in that color for a similar car in FL. Wow. In the flesh must be a tingling sensation. So when you go out in the morning to that garage, how do you decide what to drive?
Congrats.
If I were fortunate enough to have such a stable and was married to woman with that point of view, I would claim that my purchases were enabling the seller to pursue such noble deeds for mankind. I would argue that if it weren't for my purchase(s), the seller wouldn't have the liquidity to go change the world.
She may not buy that line of bs, but it wouldn't stop me from trying.
I just looked at the pix again..... that's a really beautiful color combo!!!! I agree with the comments about the 996. It does look a bit out of place. It looks like the pizza/chinese food delivery guy parked his POS next to your elite fleet.
I would say you are lucky, but you know you worked your *** off and took the chances we all had offered and made something good of them... WAY TO FREAKIN GO!!!
When life is good, it really is!!
Enjoy as we all know you are...
That is a nice color combo.
A little stable like that deserves its own stand-alone garage with a man-room above.
I'm guessing you own your own business and things are still going well?
Congrats on the Ferrari, it�s beautiful. The rest of your line-up isn�t bad either. LOL The red interior in the Ferrari is mesmerizing. Enjoy all of them in great health.
Please give us your driving impressions of each. DO you even drive the 996 anymore? HAHA.
Choices....choices....choices....remember that poster? You are living it. Congrats on a gorgeous sled collection.
On the other hand, how do you live in that dump of a shack behind the cars???
Drive safe,
J
Thanks for the comments guys. I've been in Phoenix for the Fiesta Bowl (Hook 'Em Horns!) and I am just getting time to reply now.
In response to the requests for my first impressions of the Ferrari, I've put over 1000 miles on it so far and I can only say...
It's awesome. Like, crazy-awesome. Like, really-crazy-awesome.
The power, the ride, the sound, the response from other drivers, all off the charts. I just couldn't love this car any more. If you have the means to get one, either now or someday in the future, don't hesitate. It's worth every penny and more.
As for the comparison to my other rides... they are all so different that a side-by-side comparison gets a little apples-vs-oranges. I will say that the one area that the F-car doesn't shine as brightly is in the fit and finish. My Aston is, by far, much superior in that regard. The attention to detail is incredible and unlike anything I have ever seen. And my 996, even for a mass-produced sports car, I think the fit and finish is very well done. The Ferrari is all about the engine. Yes, it's gorgeous as well, but the attention to detail is all focused on performance. The rest of the car? Not so much. You should see the 1" wide rubber window strips. Just an embarrassment for a car at this price point.
As for how I decide what to drive every morning, believe it or not, I seem to drive my Tundra the most. But they all get time in the rotation. They are just so different that I enjoy them all in very different ways.
I want to be clear about one thing: nobody here should be ashamed of their 996 in a line-up like this. I still LOVE my Porsche. And while it is not as fast as the Ferrari or Aston, and while the finish of the Aston blows it away, and while the response from other drivers is muted at best... I could still make a very strong argument that my 996 is the most fun to drive overall. There is just something about a well-tuned Porsche that is unique to the marque.
So the next time you pull up alongside a $300,000 "supercar", don't even think about hanging your head. You may very well be having the best time behind the wheel...
Again, thanks for the nice comments.
lol. The move to Austin was 100% lifestyle.
Great weather, great food, a highly educated population, beautiful lakes, live music, friendly people, reasonable cost of living... it's the exact opposite of the northeast. I lived in Manhattan and Greenwich, CT for 10 years and I promise you, I am NEVER going back. Austin is such a great town.
I've heard that, but the commute would be a bitch.
I like the idea of living in Texas, but actually living there would probably drive me nuts... I'm too embedded in the Northeast mentality.
I love to visit TX, but I think it would drive me mental to live there.
It's a pity, as a large part of my industry is based down there and I just know that it stands a good chance of happening one day... the more I say "never" the more likely it is to happen.
Wayne,
Nope, within a year you would be wondering why you didn't do it 10 years earlier.
Marc,
With a name like Gelefsky there is no hope for you of ever becoming a Texan!
Just kidding!
Love the Ferrari color combo! Wow! I usually like 'em red, but the red interior goes so great with the exterior.
How do you ever decide what to drive? I'd love to have that problem - congrats and have fun with your new addition.
Well, I would probably enjoy it if it were not for Texans.... let's just say that my wife and I have an aversion to living in the south... attitude, religion, education - not a really a match for those used to living the Northeast lifestyle. I'm a Massachusetts boy at heart.
Oh, I know - I've been berated for making fun of Texans in the past... didn't change my opinion though, as there's nothing funnier than an angry Texan - the temper tantrums can be heard clear across the other side of the trailer park.

TEMPER TANTRUMS!?!?!?! What the @#^& do you mean, temper tantrums???? Texans don't throw temper tantrums!!! If you goddamn Yankees don't be careful we'll slap an oil embargo on you so fast that your nads will freeze off!!!
