tipptruck1 Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 I all these cars are dream cars for me. All though I did tell a buddy I will own a Ferrari one day. I don't know what is so funny about that, but he found it pretty funny. I then told him the 360 is a 10 year old car. Most now are going for around 100,000. In a few years they should be around the cost of a new vette. All he said is let me know when you get "it". I said sure how dose 2am sound. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted September 20, 2014 Author Super User Posted September 20, 2014 Tipp, There is no doubt in my mind that you will own a Ferrari one day. I will tell you this. At the end of the day, exotics are still, just a car. There is however no comparison of what you feel when you pick it up or the car is delivered. I'll never forget what I felt when my Murcielago was delivered to my home. I have pictures of that somewhere. Quote

I've never driven a ferrari or Lamborghini but have a fair share of Porsches and high end Benz/BMW and your right at the end of the day they are just cars but d**n they are amazing. The owner of a company I used to work for had a rr phantom and his son an f430. They had to trailer the phantom to NYC for an oil change and some other work. I was there when they brought it back on the flat bed and the driver was a pro. He had the rear end of that thing an inch from the ground as he was operating the flat bed and man of man talk about holding your breath but he got it off the truck perfect. Quote

If so you have to adopt Raider also. Would you like to be called pop, papi, paw, daddy, or dad? I just have a few other needs and wants first. Like a house and some acres. Not a lot. Just enough to have privacy, and to shoot guns. Then I would like to build a 40x60 man cave/shop. Those two things come first. Then worry about toys. You know like cars and bikes. I still don't have a boat of any type. So I would still like to buy a nice fiber glass bass boat. It don't have to be new. But a 2-3 year old model. I live close enough to the great lakes. To know a 20 plus foot boat. Would go to good use. I also know a Ferrari is just another car. To me though cars are not just cars. They are a forum of therapy. Even my pos turbo neon. Puts a big smile on my face when I drive it. I can go from hulk mad. To starting my car and driving. Within 30 seconds I Am forgetting why I was mad. I think its a combo of the exhaust, turbo spooling up, and its a stick. That mellows me out. Quote

I buddy was talking about getting a Caymen a few years ago. I was like those are the chick cars right? In till I started doing some research. 260-300 plus hp. For some thing around the price of a new vette. They also seem pretty easy to tune also. One place I saw that made performance turbo kits. With hp numbers ranging from 400-600 hp. That is super car numbers. On some thing that can all ready out turn them. Then throw in a few extra hp. The cayman should be able to keep up on the straights. If you want the extra mile. With better after market shocks, tires, and aero mods. You should have no problem beating cars that cost 3 times the price. For around 100k. Not bad in my eyes. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted September 21, 2014 Super User Posted September 21, 2014 It would be great to have the discretionary income to be able to afford toys costing $250K and up, but I don't. When I dream of owning a new vehicle I dream of owning a new Suburban or Escalade. I can afford to buy either one, but I can save a lot of money by buying a used one. The thought of buying a used exotic car of any make or model has never crossed my mind. Exotic cars are great eye candy and feel good to the testicles; otherwise they are completely impractical. But then, I'm 68 years old. Quote

Long Mike, It feels good to your testicles because your 68 years old, and therefore sit on them regardless of what car you're driving. 2 Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted September 21, 2014 Super User Posted September 21, 2014 Long Mike, It feels good to your testicles because your 68 years old, and therefore sit on them regardless of what car you're driving. Im only 42 and I sit on my nuts sometimes. Quote
Super User Raul Posted September 21, 2014 Super User Posted September 21, 2014 Let´s not talk about sitting on the testicles please, I´m 50 and the chances of I sitting on my testicles increase every second and I don´t want to even think about it. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted September 22, 2014 Super User Posted September 22, 2014 At my age, testicles make a good cushion. They're not much good for anything else. Quote
tipptruck1 Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 I might be younger then all of you. But even with be being only 29. I will admit I have sat on mine once. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted September 22, 2014 Super User Posted September 22, 2014 All this talk about cars and testicles reminds me of a married with children episode. Can't find a video but here's a pic 1 Quote
Super User FishTank Posted September 23, 2014 Super User Posted September 23, 2014 Luca di Montezemolo just resigned as CEO. What does that mean for the future of Ferrari? If I had the kind of coin, I might wait to scratch that itch..... Just for the fun it check out the Jaguar F-type R..... I got to play with one and it was sublime plus it has a lower risk of catching on fire.... Love my other two jags though.... If you want to tow something, I thought this was funny but it's reel..... http://www.inautonews.com/jaguar-xf-voted-most-desirable-towing-vehicle#.VCD6ufldWSo Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted September 23, 2014 Author Super User Posted September 23, 2014 I like Jags. The XK's from the early 50s in particular. I would not buy a new Ferrari. I'd buy one a couple years old, not take the hit, and still get a car with ~2000 miles. That Fast and Furious scene is funny. ********* in the F car. Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted September 23, 2014 Super User Posted September 23, 2014 Cars are cool, but I hold with American muscle street machines. Exotics do nothing for me. But, what really gets me off my testicles is a moderately lifted truck. 1 Quote
scrutch Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 I love that Ferrari. If I had the money, it would definitely be in my garage. But the reality is it's four times the price that I could SOMEDAY afford. THIS however, is someday a strong possibility... Oh, and it WILL be a Lingenfelter aftermarket tune. Somewhere there is a pic of one smoking it's tires...AT 125MPH!!!!! You won't have to worry about sitting on your testicles then. They will be firmly planted right next to your adams apple! Quote
Super User J Francho Posted September 24, 2014 Super User Posted September 24, 2014 All I want besides my truck is a Dinan 5 series wagon. That would be a sweet kayak fishing car. Quote
Super User South FLA Posted September 24, 2014 Super User Posted September 24, 2014 Nothing like a high end exotic car's tone. My favorite sounding exotic is the Mclaren. Most Ferraris if not all Ferraris I've heard have a sweet tone also! Want a supercar? 3 Quote
georgeyew Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 This thread reminded me of a Youtube video that I saw about the attention that men get when driving a Ferrari..... Quote
Super User flyfisher Posted September 25, 2014 Super User Posted September 25, 2014 While i used to have posters of porsches, ferraris and lambos on my wall as a kid they have kind of lost interest to me. Now this vehicle on the other hand is one i would like to own... http://www.wagonmaster.com/1703/1703gw.htm Quote
Super User South FLA Posted September 25, 2014 Super User Posted September 25, 2014 This thread reminded me of a Youtube video that I saw about the attention that men get when driving a Ferrari..... Need to find some more gold digging areas like S. Beach. lol! Quote
