Glad to be back on the topic and talking to all of you. HOVIK, If you keep that up with all the compliments, I'll have to give you one of the cars just to repay you because you've been so kind! SPANKY, That's why I thought if I do a pic insert of each car and tell you what I love about it and what I'd like to see the manufacturer change. It will be easier to follow. MIHALS, As I siad before, I love picking plates out that will make people laugh with me. The one on the Gallardo, FUZY NVL, I though was appropriate because of the color. One night I was pulling out of a restaurant that I frequent, and an older couple (older than me), saw the plate on the car, and they were laughing their asses off. They didn't know it but they just made my night! CORVETTE97 and BMWMPOWER and INSANE , I'm asked that a lot and my response is, everytime I get in any one of the cars, I just sit there with a huge smile on my face, because I'm in seventh heaven again. It's like I just got the car and I feel like a kid in a candy shop! HONESTLY! I'm not a traveler, because I haven't been in a plane since 1977 (I'm afraid to fly!) so I just stay around my territory and play with my 'matchboxes'! SAADIE, Ugly Green? Didn't you ever have the desire as a kid to be Superman, Spiderman or the HULK? Well maybe I can't be the Hulk but I'm in the HULK'S car! BMAGNI, The plate was HT 2MOLI (only allowed 7 digits in Ohio) but I didn't like it so I changed it to X HIPPIE because I kinda was back in the 60s and 70s but not full fledged. TAYGUNHO, I had an 2006 M5 ordered and then I started in heat for a Ferrari. I bought the Maranello and canceled the M5. I have had a lot of BMWs and they're excellent cars. In fact, I traded a Z8 on the Maranello! Ironically, one of my sons bought the M5 I canceled a couple months ago! Now back to the topic. TT and Jabba have been great helping me get my act together and the first thing I want to do this afternoon is my Demo ride post about the McLaren SLR. Then, if you guys can please wait, I'd like to open the engine hoods on each car and include that shot along with the other pics. There's some pretty fascinating stuff under each hood. Thanks again. You've all been great. Michael
