Sorry, I've been off the site for a few days and have missed this thread. Congratulations JD! Extremely happy for you and like so many others, I think you made a very wise choice. We all know how much you have lusted after a Ferrari and it sounds as if you have made a very wise choice. Maintained to the level that I am sure you will, it will likely appreciate over time and in the interim, it makes for an incredible ride and the perfect dangermobile!

While I am saddened at the prospect of losing of losing your imput, incite and humor and while this site will never be the same, I wish you well. Forza Ferrari!

Brad

PS Wow JD, just checked out a couple of listings. No wonder one was given to the Vatican as a gift - at the prices an Enzo commands even they would have trouble affording one! If you can pull this off I think we now know the true identity of Johnny Danger - Thurston Powell IV! If not, I suspect we have been the subject of another very effective JD ruse and the rumors of your demise on this site are a bit premature. You do keep this site alive, JD!

Anyone else here think JD is having a bit of fun with us? I mean, JD, have you thought about ordering a new Porsche 918 and saving several mil?

Brad

Thurston Powell IV -showing your age there, Brad! Next he'll be telling us that Ginger and Maryanne were the original Danger girls

Anyone else here think JD is having a bit of fun with us LOL! Ya think? I would have believed a 355, maybe even a 360, but I'm not buying this for a minute.

I am indeed showing my age, Mark, but judging from his driving music selections I have little doubt that JD will know the reference. Regardless, I hope he is having a little fun with us as I would hate to lose JD from this site.

And JD, while based upon your past comments I still think you should buy a used Ferrari in preference to a new 981, I also think that you should hold off on selling the current dangermobile. While Ferraris aren't exactly a dime a dozen, they are still more common than your car. Lets face it, you have personalized your 986 S to the point where is is not only reflective of your individual tastes, it is virtually a one-of-a-kind.

You have already acknowledged that you will take a bath if you sell it right now. While that is undoubtedly correct, I have little doubt that the car's value has already reached its nadir and that over time, the supply of very low-mileage, well-maintained 2000 Boxster S's are going to drop dramatically. It is the first year of the S and with a dual-row bearing, probably the best of the 986's. Period. I think there is every reason to believe that prices will start to go up - expecially for an immaculate, tastefully upgraded example such as yours.



Brad

at least a Ferrari can pull off yellow!

Hey Brad have you seen the price of 944T's lately? And the only thing special about jd's car is the 'I can't drive' low mileage. A body kit, wheels, exhaust and coilovers isn't exactly 'custom' these days.:eek:

Having a PPI done this weekend.

Why all the hate from the Canooks?

Absolutely no hate! We all love JD but we know what a trickster he can be sometimes, so we're just a wee bit suspicious... ya gotta admit it's a bit of a leap to go from a $20k Porsche to a 1.2 million dollar Ferrari.

Who is it on here that says "pics or it's not true"?

Having a PPI done on a 500 mile, million dollar car on a weekend :rolleyes:

mmmm, methinks we are being hoodwinked by a SMERSH undercover agent who has gone troppo.....

High Five, Man!
 

Give me a high 5, JD:

A high five x 2 !

Showing his age not only with the reference but also with the fading memory: It was Thurston Howell III. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Perhaps Southernstar posted that from his Pewlitt-Hackard computer? ;)

DBear

He musta got it mixed up with the name of his Boy Scout leader from back in the day.

I took it as JD would be # IV? Who knows, I could be wrong though, not the first time.

I got the results of the PPI on the Enzo today. Unfortunately, the tech at Fungula Motor Sports discovered a low windshield washer fluid reading during a durametric test, along with some light dust on spark plug wire #11. According to them, this can result in immediate engine failure. So my plans to buy the Enzo are out. :(

Fungula Motor Sports.....aren't they in Zimbabwe?

What a farce.

I was thinking more along the lines of what fungula grows in!

Despite the disappointing outcome of today's PPI results, I have a new vehicle in mind to help me look beyond the Enzo. The seller says it once belonged to Gavin McLeod of the 'Love Boat' fame.
