^^^ Nice stable!
Not really off topic...you're closer to having a forever car than chasing new shiny sheet metal.
As you, correctly, summarized, performance gains are less and less meaningful when those come at the expense of reduced driving engagement.
Cars are becoming faster but also more transactional, heavier and insulated from the road.

judd, you have my dream car there in that F355. Perhaps one of the best looking cars ever made, IMO.

It would be two for me, and not specific to the car but the brand or model. Hope to always have a Porsche 911 in the garage and if I could be indulgent, a Ferrari as well. Both are "cars" or brands that I worshipped growing up as a kid, and now to have both is a dream come true. God willing I'll keep the Speciale for a very long time, and the 50th - I told myself I would let her go only for the right 911R, otherwise she's staying for a very long time too!

Congratulations on living childhood dream. That Speciale is truly special. One of my favorite cars of all time. 50th will always remembered. I almost bought one and still regret it today. At least own 16 GTS as consolation.
