Yes, I own two Ferrari's and one Lamborghini and the '08 Ferrari is the best by far. I am about to sell my Lotus....I'll post it in the gear section.

Please note (just because the previous quote was a bit mangled) that I did NOT say that I owned both a Ferrari and a Lamborghini...that was Yoda who said that

Diane,
You're never too old to learn, and you are certainly not too old.

Wow, what a creative new spin on name-dropping.

Yes and I just ordered a...
Bugatti Veyron 16.4
The Veyron uses a 16-cylinder, 1001-hp motor.
Being the succesful Voice Talent that I am I felt I should splurge. |

Still do models, but gave up hotwheels years back Jeff.
1979 Countach in midnight blue. Went for about 10K in 1995 (needed a ton of work). I got it running, but never back to full working order and eventually sold it off to someone who truly appreciated it.
Ferrari was a 1963 250 GT/E. One of the few more mass-produced models from the company. I'd love to get my hands on a Dino, but I'm not insane enough to pay those prices (250K for a USED car? No thank you).
When I get home, let me put up some pics of a Lotus some guys at work are restoring. We've got quite the collection of vehicles around the workplace.
/I blame my grandfather... he was partial to Aston Martin and Jaguars from the 50s (HK150s, etc.)
//still can't beat the Lexus or Acura for reliability... but that's not why you get into cars, is it?

Nicely done, Mr. Kafer!
Greg...I'm almost positive you're "not allowed" to refer to anything with 1001 hp as a "motor"

We're not in the Navy.
It's not a Jet.
The damn thing had to work before I'm willing to count HP.
I spent more than double what I paid for that thing and it never really worked right. At best my dad and I got like 10 miles out of the thing.
I always thought that the MGs were a piece of junk until I got that car.
(ironically, my dad had a Vega 2-door hatchback while I was growing up... your post reminded me that while I hated his Vega, the joke was that it still ran better than the overpriced Italian paperweight).
EDIT: this threadjack reminds me of a personal favorite site http://www.wreckedexotics.com/

I call it "expensive"
I'm a Lamborghini fan from way back, but there's something magical about the Veyron. And, of course, I dig that it's an Italian nameplate.
Speaking of which, how's about that Alfa 8C? Puuuuurrrty!

No, but "expensive to maintain" comes to mind.
You know Lou, you can always get one of the older cars coming from Italy/UK. Much cheaper, but regardless you'll be spending time and $ on maintenance.
The Espada series aren't bad and their engines held up better than most.
At the least it's a hobby which makes VO look sane by comparison

As far as cars go, I like to look and I like to drive. Getting in and fixing things...that's not something I have the know-how or passion to do, really.
