wow as well - quiiiite the blessed privelaged experience you've enjoyed there to the fullest

I'm sure every mile has a good story, they always do

we should all be so fortunate, that's quite a run in cars / years / experiences

Happy impending 60th!

930s were faves... thats telling 8-)

Oak Green - yummmmm... only seen one on road 1x, happened to be right here by my exit... so nice.

My friend bought my old Oak Green 930 yesterday.
Looks the same, not much work needed

Actually, I'm more impressed by those who get attached to their cars or motorcycles. It indicates they really found the right one.

Its kind of sad he never got attached to any of them.

In those days,I had alot of Ferraris as well,Dino,308,328,348,TT,BB512.
Got to drive what I wanted as well as making some money.Although not attached to one particular car, I always loved the Porsche marque the most.

I was looking at F360s and 550/575 Maranellos, but in the end I knew I wouldn't be happy unless I had the car I always wanted...a 911.

If it is anything like my 1990 BMW R100 GS that I bought new 22 years ago, I'll most likely still have my 993 in that many years.

I listened to an Italian who lives in Italy and owned a automotive parts business. In his exact words, "Ferraris are nice to look at, but if you want a sports car that actually works, buy a Porsche".

I go to Autotrader often just to look at nice pics of F cars. The one thing that stands out: none of them have any miles on them. Why is that?

Default Kids

I never had kids, so I spent the extra money on cars.
Very hard to drive Ferrari everyday. Also very expensive maintenance,parts and repairs.
