Larry,
TIA for maintaining a nice supply of used white GT3's. But yeah, it's hard to argue with your wife. You're a little nuts.

Yes, Mclearen is the best road car ever., however I have mortgage and wife, so if I rented and ditched the wife that is the only way I can afford a $1mm car. But what a car it is.

not the Enzo, and all the CGT drivers I know who have driven the Enzo, even the guy who has both, prefers the CGT.
The F1 is light - weight is the enemy of fun. You can go fast in the Veyron, but that gets boring, very quickly.

My 99 996 coupe lasted about a month...
I immediately looked at superchargers to "help it"
I then bought a 993TT and put about $20k in mods in a few months,
sold it and bought a 996TT
It is perfectly normal

Do you guys really think the new car is $30k better then the 996? I really want to like it, the styling is there but I just can't see spending that much more over what a used 996 GT3 is worth.
