Well, you have to do what you have to do. 
Besides, you just got a 997 turbo, I dont think anyone will be too mad at you! 
Would you sell the F430 as well, and replace both Ferraris with possibly a 599? I'm sorry if anyone has asked you this before, but have you considered buying classic cars, like an F40, or something similar?
Edit: On a slightly more down to earth note, you'll need a new sig.

F40, F50 and an Enzo! Why not?
I wish Bill Gates was my older brother so I could tell him how much of a 'deprived child' I am 
and convince him to buy me the list above to make me feel better! I think the F40 is the 'cats ***'. I had a very good friend who had one back in 1991 or 92. I thought it was freaked out then but really didn't know how much of a 'bad ***' it was. 
I would love one and an Enzo too. Ahhh and a F50 just for the hell of it! Michael

Michael An F40 really isnt that expensive relative to the type of cars you're buying. Midlife crisis, anyone? An F50 on the other hand will cost almost as much as an Enzo. What are you plans for the Lamborghinis and the Ferrari F430? The Ford and Porsche have so much character, its hard to imagine you selling them. They're unique in your already unique collection.

I drive them as much as I can and take very good care of them. I don't drive them in the rain and park them a million miles away from possible damage from other cars. I think you have me all wrong. 
In no way am I a show off or a braggadocio! Mags

and "I don't drive my cars in the rain."
I mean, come on. Does that sound like someone who bought their cars because of performance and engineering? It's a car. Cars can get wet. The interior and engine bays were actually sealed off from from the weather outside for this reason. Engineers designed the car with the intent of making it capable of getting wet.
You've posted your lineup on several forums. When you make statements that suggest you don't really drive these cars as they were engineered to be driven, it makes it seem like the reason you bought them was because you could and because you could show others you could.

Hated to see the 575 go because it was a beauty and ALWAYS turned heads and got comments on being the most 'classy' sports car they had ever seen!
I may decide to possibly sell the F430 next Spring or Summer
and get a 599 but only after I hear some readers reviews. Sure will hate to pay the extortionist premium the dealers will be asking!! I hope not too many of you are pissed off at me for parting with the Maranello. 
I apologize! Magwheel

This string has got to be the most ridiculous one I've seen.
I'd be embarassed to show my cars off like that.
Looks like we are stroking a little more than the ego here. It's not like we've never seen any of those cars before or not like any of us don't own one or many of these cars, so why show them off like this?
Different strokes for different folks but to be honest it sounds like an insecurity problem.

amen,
I am in a different league but I share my car whenever I can.
I take people for rides (occasionally let people drive it), go places to share it with others,
and I also happen to like to drive fast and test limits, and drive my car on the track.
this makes me no more of an enthusiast than Michael.
My buddy with a CGT has been very good about sharing his car with others in my town but does
so with caution becuase of Buffoons that react in weird and jealous ways...

Michael – I 2nd (no make that 1002nd) all of the thanks and praises that you have been given on this thread for sharing your exceptional cars with us. I have read your posts here and your detailed posts on your website and found them very entertaining. After all isn’t that what this and other car enthusiast websites are all about, enthusiasts sharing their cars and stories with one another and offering the occasional tech help and support.
I know I probably do not need to mention this Michael, but don’t let the few discouraging posts get you down. As I have said, I would bet that 98% of readers have received great entertainment from your stories.
Thanks again Michael and keep on posting!!!
