Just to name a few:
DB9, Vanquish S, DB AR1, DB7 Vantage convertible, F40, 550 Barchetta, F50, Daytona Spider, Modena, 360 Spider, Challenge Stradale, 612 Scaglietti, 997 GT3, 997, NSX, S8, Mitsubishi Evolution MR, C4S, F355 Berlinetta, Z8, F355 Spider, 996 Turbo, Gallardo, Murcielago, Testarossa, 512TR

The Daytona Spider was a whopping $485,000 because it was an original.

I was taking pics at Foreign Cars Italia and some guy walks up to me with his hand out and asks, "Are you SupercarFreak?" Turns out it was DB9dan from supercars.net. It was so weird because I actually thought it was someone else who I've never met in person. Anyway, he recognized me through a reflection of my face on a car in one of the pictures I posted before. He's a porter at that dealership, and he's been incredibly lucky with cars, he's driven Maranellos, GT2s, got a ride in an Enzo and he's also been taken around a track in a F40. Real nice guy.

On a side note, on Monday I'm getting interviewed for a pit crew position on a Porsche Can-Am race team. The team is run by a local performance shop, they have 4 GT3 race cars. It's volunteer so I don't get paid, but all expenses are paid for (flight tickets, hotel reservations, etc). The races are nationwide, last race is in Cali, and a party in LA follows. They want 8 students from my school (Lincoln Tech). To be considered you need a 3.5 GPA and 95% attendance and I have a 4.0 GPA and 100% attendance so I think I have a good chance. If I get accepted it will be an amazing experience, I can't even imagine how much I'm going to learn.

Great pics dude! There're some very nice cars... About the can-am team, my brother works in a formula team here in Spain... and they pay him 70 euros per day of work (every race weekend has 5 days of work) and next year he will be earning 120 euros per day... not really bad. The point is that he loves that... he says he could work without salary... but well, money is money. And he's still an student... so it's more or less your case. What I don't understand is that a national team doesn't pay you, while a regional one does... However... great pics... and hope you get that job!

thanks for the info!
i think the experience and training you get from this program overweighs the fact that you don't get paid, they said after you're done with the season you'll be able to work at flat rate, no problem

thanks everyone for your comments & merry christmas!
