Unbelievable collection. You seem like the nicest most down to earth guy which is nice to see. I have met only a few arrogant snobs but it was enough for me to start stereotyping the exotic car owner. Yet, it only took one, you to see that they're not all like that. Thanks for the pics and enjoy!!!

Default Oh Boy! ..... How Do I Tell You This?

Sorry, but I think I lost my marbles and went ahead and dun dood it! :crazyeyes: I sold the 04 Ferrari 575 Maranello. Just had too many cars and not enough asses! I would rotate the cars in order so that they all got equal road time and exercise. But..... I wouldn't drive any of them in the rain so they're on Battery Tenders a whole lot and it just seemed stupid to try and keep them all. I loved the Maranello but I just got the new Porsche 997 Turbo and it's a little more fun to drive and obviously a lot faster. 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. :snipersmile: I apologize! Magwheel

always goot to hear an update

a good friend of mine should have the first 599 to Michigan (if i remember right)... and well, because of the pan-America drive, we may have some additional infor for you

in either case; I should be able to let you know the goods from a owners perspective... Currently, he thinks his F430 (carbon brakes) is most drivable of his cars; while his Enzo is his favorite.

PM will be heading your way

The 550/575 is one of my favorite modern Ferraris. Looks great and drives great. Im sure you didnt like to see it go but I admire the fact that you let it go because you didnt have the time to drive it and all the cars you got are meant to be driven. It would be a shame to let them sit and collect dust. Your new Turbo looks amazing in that color, it is definitely a fair trade off for the 575.

Default Murcielago for a LP640?

Hey blackenzo, I'd love to but it's really too early 2 ways. First, I only got the Green Murci, aka 'HULKSTR' in February of this year. Trading or selling it now would be an invitation for a severe ass kicking financially. Secondly, I'm always concerned about buying a car 'hot off the press' if you know what I mean. I'd like to wait until the Winter or Spring of 2007-2008 to make the switch and to make sure any 'bugs' are worked out. Michael

Default Magwheel Did It Again

I saw Magwheel's new addition. It was the car I wanted next- a black Porsche Cayenne Turbo. Guess after unloading one of his Ferrari's, he had some spare change! Tired of Range Rover's, huh? It's still lookin' good in this neigborhood!

It appears donnasworld may be a close neighbor of magwheel as they are both from Poland, Ohio.

OMG..... She knows how to post on her own. :shock: DONNASWORLD, aka my EX is straight up and legit although a little wacked! She's like Poltergeist and the Exorcist all rolled into one. :crazyeyes: No matter where I go or what I do, she knows! And just think...... I'm the one who taught her how to use the computer.

The reason I got the C Turbo S was because I gave my 05 RR Westminster to my ex (the sweet little thing she is) until the new 07s come out in October (?). Her lease was up and I didn't want to hear her keep bitching :bad-words: because my girlfriend had a newer RR than her so I told her to drive mine until the 07s appear.

Then I thought.... hey.... since the girlfriend is going to get a new RR in November and my lease is up in December, I probably should get something different and a little more fun.

The RR is a fantastic car and if I only had one SUV, there would have been NO way I would have chosen the Cayenne over the RR...... Cayenne Turbo S or not!

About the Maranello..... Sorry, but I dun dood it! I sold the 04 Ferrari 575 Maranello on August 29th. Just had too many cars and not enough asses! I would try and rotate the cars in order so that they all got equal road time and exercise. But I wouldn't drive any of them in the rain so it seemed they were on Battery Tenders a whole lot and it just seemed stupid to try and keep them all. I loved the Maranello but I just got the new Porsche 997 Turbo and it's a little more fun to drive and obviously a lot faster. Hated to see the 575 go because she 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!

Give the EX a break..... I know she'd like to give me one...... a broken neck! :snipersmile: Even though she hates me..... I still watch over her and TAKE REAL GOOD care of her.

I'll be posting some pics of the Cayenne Turbo S and the CGT and the 997 Turbo in a line-up soon. I have a pretty neat layout in my mind that will be cool. Magwheel
