Thanks for the writeup on the 996 GT2 - one of my favourite Porsches!!

I know the feeling of its brutal acceleration, and even above 200 (kmh) it just doesn't stop. :shock: Its still the most brutal acceleration I have felt in my life!

The sound is a letdown on this car IMO, really nothing special - compared to say a CS or Gallardo it was just boring to be honest.

OK Jeff, Here they are!

1) 2005 Gallardo Pearl Orange 6-speed
1) 2006 Murcielago Pearl Green E-Gear Coupe
1) 2004 Ferrarl F1 Silver Maranello
1) 2005 Ferrari F1 Red F430 Coupe
1) 2005 Red Ford GT
1) 2004 Porsche Silver Carrera GT

Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, What am I gonna do with you? Now you should know me better by now! I have NO favorites! I love them all equally..... and that's the honest to God's truth. I just took a good friend of mine for a ride in 4 out of the six. His response was similar to mine. Everytime we got in one car...... he started mumbling..... "Oh man..... this is my favorite!" And I said to him.... "Now how can that be? Just the other day, you liked the car we went for a ride in!"

Well that's almost how I feel except, I NEVER say I like one car more than the others! Each and every time I sit in one of them, it's a new experience all over again. I even forget some of the controls and other litlle trick things about that car! You can't believe how neat it feels when I can't remember some control or other feature. Sometimes, I even have to refer to the manuals because my head is up my derrière! I kinda laugh at myself and that's what makes it feel like it's brand new again!

Sorry if I can't answer your question Jeff.

Nowwww we can an talk Turkey! I bought the Ford GT, January of 2005 but couldn't pick it up until March 17th because of the control arm recall. Next I got the Carrera GT in April of 2005. I received the Maranello at the end of June 2005 and I bought the F430 in July of 2005. Then I went bonkers for Lambos and got the Gallardo in I believe October of 2005. I then took a break but was foaming at the mouth for the Murcielago and made myself a promise that I would try and get it for my 58th birthday in February of this year. I was able to work out my financial situation and bought the Murcielago February 9th of this year.

I traded the GT2 and my 645 BMW coupe on the Carrera GT. I then dealt a trade of my 645 Convertible that I bought for Euni on the Ferrari F430. It was one year old and only had around 1200 (give or take a couple hundred miles) on it. I'd used to get mad at her because she hardly ever drove it.

When I went looking for the Gallardo, I got lucky and found the Lambo dealer in Columbus also sold Dodges across the street from the Lamborghini dealership. I was able to trade my 2005 Dodge Ram SRT 10 pickup truck (Viper engine 500HP-6 speed) on the Gallardo.

When I bought the Murcielago, I didn't have any more cars to trade so I had to buy it naked, with no trade!

Lemme see...... if I had really 'stupid kind of money', (meaning just tons and tons of it) like Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch, Donald Trump or Richard Branson, I would get a.... yes...... Zonda F, a F40, an Enzo, a Bugatti Veyron, a McLaren F1 and a MC12 but not in any particular order. Have you ever heard of any of these guys driving around in any kind of special car or do they just get their asses chauffeured around all day long? That would drive me out of my mind! Could you imagine not having you hands on a sports car of any kind. Just sitting there like King Midas and counting you money but not enjoying life. Al least Branson is a little wacko and does some crazy things!

There's no way our business can tank because my Father made it virtually 'bullet proof' and my oldest son has taken after 'Dad' and is running it most of the time for me. I go in 3 or 4 days a week and make sure they didn't empty out my office and move him in! Seriously, Dad's business is super and we have beaucoup excellent people helping me to run it. But my oldest son is really putting in some very hard work and time. He has a great work ethic like Dad did. I'm hoping never to retire just like Dad, but just to fade away in the sunset someday and move on to my second time around up above..... I hope!

so the 959 is (was) cheaper?

glad the financials worked out on the Murci; what a nice b-day gift

its good to hear the company is just about incuruptable for the next generation as well.

Hey you've heard it before, but I got to say it your a lucky guy. And I was also thinking how much do you pay for insurance for each of your cars? Is it like 10k for each or something like that?
