Bought a Ferrari (but keeping the Boxter)

[roadracer311]

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

I'd rather not say how much I paid. I got a little carried away because of the low miles and completely blew my budget on this one. I don't work for Apple though. Believe it or not, I repair motorcycles for a living. (though I've got a degree in physics and used to have a marketing job with a laser company)

The long and short of it is: I've been saving 20% of my income for the last 20 years. I finally gave up on ever being able to afford to buy a house in San Francisco, and spent my down payment on this :-) (I own this and the boxster outright)

My plan for this car is not to make the same mistake the previous owner did. He died without ever really having driven it. I'm planning to drive this one about as much as my Boxster (which is only a couple days a week, since my motorcycle is my primary form of transportation, rain or shine).

I will post a report once I've gotten to know it.

When the first big service comes up 5 years from now, I hope to have a lift set up, so I can do the "engine out" service myself.

Thanks again guys. Again, no plans to sell the Boxster, so I'll be around here for a long time with reports comparing the two from time to time.
