Maybe it's time I test drive other exotics and see just how they compare to what I have, though I really have no idea what to expect.

Funny I was walking to my new-to-me 911 last night after dinner and I mentioned to my girlfriend how nice it was to walk through a sea of generic crossovers and get in the one nice car in the parking lot...

nd just as the words left my mouth I noticed the Ferrari parked across the lane. Oh how quickly one can be put back in their place...

If you test drive a Ferrari just make sure to have plenty of Ragu, extra virgin olive oil and marinara on hand. Make a few Sopranos references. Italian cars love Sopranos references

BaT auctions usually tank for Canadian 911’s too

Values in Canada just have not done anything like they have in the US. At least according to what I am seeing in Kijiji.

Canadians in general much more conservative and frugal than Americans

“Exotic” and “supercar” just don’t translate into much demand up there 😕
