I would have insisted on an m8 bolt at the very least...

What's up with Rusnak of Pasadena plates? Used to visit the parts counter occasionally when I had my 964 living in Pasadena.

The 430 is most sweet.

Considering the average deal I sign is around $300k, $4mm is pretty substantial in my world.

For the Scuderia version, worth every penny. One of the most durable Ferraris ever built. A former member of our local Porsche club has one and he's beaten the snot out the car at every track day and autocross he could get to and it's a tank. According to him the clutch has lasted longer than on any previous Porsche he's ever owned. Plus you get a much more exciting (and rare) single clutch sequential shifter and not the dual clutch stuff like on so many paddle/automatics. It's a standout transmission without the weight of DCT.

This may sound crazy, but given what new Porsches sell for now, I think a low-mileage second-hand Scud is a hell of a lot of bang for the buck.

Here's a nice one.
Scuderia

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that looks like an F430. Beautiful car.

Just remembered the time I was at Willow Springs Racetrack & a F430 got sideways in the big curve before the front straight. Rear tires slid off the track & he did the entire curve with rear tires in the dirt & front tireson the track. Slid about 100 feet kicking up a 30 ft high wall of dirt. Rearend finally came all the way around & he spun into the infield right at the corner workers platform. Finally stopped 20 ft from the platform.

He actually admitted that Porsche has the best engineering out of all the super cars.

He could have bought 3 variations of "best engineering" for the price of that beauty.
Sex appeal always wins

Did he let you get within 6 feet of it, maybe even touch it?

Who parked next to the other first? Did he leave a door ding on yours as a parting gift?
