I couldn't do it...
So I've been pining for this new car for a year and a half now.. and my wife has been saying "if you get a new car you have to sell your 928... we just don't have enough room on the driveway.."
I finally get it this last monday..
And I realize that I can't sell my 79'. I can't bear the thought of someone getting her and beating the crap out of her.. pimping her out.. or just not adoring her and treating her like the adored object that she is. My stomach actually goes into knots thinking about the last 13 years..
So my adoring wife.. and the best woman I could have married.. agrees with me putting her into storage. Some place that as she put it: "is close by that you can drive her on the weekends."
Don't sell them! Brainwash your wife into letting her agreeing to keep the car. Tapes work while sleeping. :-) Just had to share...

You don't have to tell me!
I will have a 360 some day as well... I will get an F1 Spider though! I think they are some of the most beautiful modern Ferrari's out there. Way prettier than the new 458, and I prefer the look of the 360 to the 430 as well...though the Scud 16M is pretty sexy!
I look forward to hearing how much that beast costs you to maintain and how it compares to the old '79!

Noice, enjoy the Modena! 6-speed? No pre-cats, right? I just scored a spare garage space in the neighborhood for the GT 'cause my wife wants her garage space back and says I can't sell the GT until I'm no longer underwater on it.....

I love these cars as much as anyone, but I am not sure that putting your wife in storage is the answer.

VERY NICE...... I do see an italian exotic in my future one day..... In an ideal world I think I will build another wicked fast 928 racer, then after that it will be Italian time....
I'm debating between an F-car (love the 355 but heard they are stupid expensive to own) 360 or Gallardo.....

After my Mrs declined that I washed her brain (ohh, I'm still thinking two cars for you that's not fair...) I'd like to warn all 'better halves' out there: Never force us to choose... 
Curt, I'll cross my fingers that Ferrari learned in the last years - recalling the red TR I've had in the '90 (cuz Sunny Crockett looked so cool in his white one) I've to say, I never regretted to swap her back into a shark...
