My Neighbor Just Bought A Ferrari
All they have are Benzs and now they have a Ferrari...


I'd be lying if I said I never had a desire for nice stuff but I never yearned for stuff like Ferraris...

4. I'm Not Going To Bust On Him...
He's always pleasant to me...


I have a 04 Infiniti G35.....



I drove Camrys and Accords before that.... The G35 which cost around 31K was the one luxury I allowed myself...



I rather have my car and the extra dough he spent on his Ferrari...

3. What model?
I want a Ferrari - but only after I've paid for EVERYTHING else.

Like my house, the college education for the two kids I don't plan on having, my wife's trip around the world (with me), put aside money for 20 years worth of food and medical bills etc. Sorry, Mr. Italian Assembly line worker, perhaps `your` kid can make some SERIES coin off me.

13. Is this it?


This is the Ferrari F430. The picture above is the Spider ($200,000) but the coupe is a measily $175,000, pictured here:



Serious piece of exotic, expensive machinery.

21. That would probably pay off the mortgage of about 70% of the country
Not all at once, or course, but one of them.

Eh, if the guy is superbly talented, then let him have his rewards. If he invested in Halliburton before the war, then he's driving around in the bones and blood of our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines.

9. Well, considering that if your neighbor bought the Ferrari brand new
there's no possible way your G35 has a better maint record :P

22. Which Lambo do you want?
Hopefully not the LM002 - which ironically was WAY ahead of its time of money-flushed gasoline-prices-independent buyers.

23. The only one I know is the Countache
And I'm not sure if I spelled that correctly. I haven't looked at any new kind of Lamborgini since the late 80s.

24. Ah yes, I remember growing up with the posters


I remember a friend of mine telling me that he'd rather sleep in one of those than buy a house.

29. Possibly the best and fastest passenger car ever made
Edited on Sat Oct-29-05 10:17 AM by DS1
The BMW M5, 400 horses, ungoverned, this car can go as fast as it can without any restriction, and it puts all 400 horses on the ground in a heartbeat.

I was in an Acura Integra Type R when an M5 totally smoked the Type R, laughed it like it was a pothole, I laughed too.

17. I'll settle for food, home, shelter, and a decent job.
We work for them all but that won't stop them from depriving the basics because their own bottom line has more merit.

Dog eat dog. And one day the poodles won't like being eaten either.
