Who is Gemballa? A company similar to RUF?

Sounds like a screamer.... 415-horsepower 6-cylinder engine and upgraded performance suspension.

"McGraw purchased the Ferrari after learning that his television show would be aired nationally, according to a Barrett-Jackson announcement."

Sounds like he made of choice based on a emotional impulse...........no, not Dr. Phil

Check this link: http://www.gemballausa.com/

They do some excellent mods and upgrades and are a respected brand in the Porsche community (IMHO).

Some celebrity owners can add to the value of a car--but for me, this wouldn't be one of them.

Sort of. Gemballa includes a set of gold chains and white pants to go with their questionably tasteful body kits.

Ooohh! with a real letter of authenticity that Dr. Phil once owned these cars! Who freakin' cares, it's just another example of a self inflating celebrity .

I personally would want a significant price reduction if they forced me to take the certificate!

well said my brother. i mean, really...who gives a f--k? dr. phil can go jump up a goats *** for all i care. buying a lebaron conv't owned by john voight is one thing. but buying a celebrity-owned exotic is just plain dumb. in fact, i'm surprised celebs don't lose their *** when dealing in exotics. who would want them? i don't know about you fellas, but if i told my buddies that my car was owned by dr. phil, they'd say...'good work, jerk-off'. then they would do this----->

then i would do this----->

Dr. Phil walks from his dressing room down to the set in a lined corridor so he won't have to interact with the staff. No one is allowed to talk with him or look him in the eyes. He's just another pompous celebrity *** whose forgotten his roots.

Dr. Phil . . .

If forced to watch him . . . I'd feel like sticking a pencil in my eye in less than 5 minutes.
