why not? They obviously enjoy autos like the rest of us hear...there just a little older.

...but seriously don't sweat the pics if you have to go take them...

trust me it will be my pleasure.

Yeah they have always kicked it with Auto's, but i suppose it is due to the engines being powerful.

hey guys I just seen these replies, the carrera GT is an amazing car , dont get me wrong . but a carrera GT doesn't really appeal to me that much. First the silver and black ones are too "normal" looking if you can imagine that. The only advantage I see that has over my lambo is the removable top. I do think I'm going to grab a murci roadster sometime in the future, the only drawback is the stupid toupe top that you cant use over 100mph , its kinda a joke. But a carrera gt just doesn't "do it" for me. You guys know what I mean, some people love corvettes some people hate them, kinda like that thing. I mean its got about the same amount of horsepower vs my lambo, but my lambos is more useable with all wheel drive, and the doors go up and the more exotic looks are that added bonus.

Heres another quick video I shot of the lambo: http://www.pteam.net/lambo2.wmv 5 megs takes a little bit to load

I say congrats to you for achieving your success. Success and wealth can mean alot to different people. As you get older your definition of success changes, and I think you find it less important to "flash" your wealth so much, as you know you have it, and you don't need to prove anything. Same reason why alot of clutch popping kids are revving at the light to take on everyone, it is just thinly veiled confidence and a need to prove who they are through what they own, instead of being strong & confident in who they are.

This is my first Porsche and I could have bought a new one in cash and not lost a minute sleep, but I personally find it hard to just justify it, (call me crazy) just for a weekend fun car, so that it why I bought a clean used one. I figured heck, even if I want/need to toss in another $5k-10k for extras or maintenance, it is still OK...even if the whole car is junk, losing $25K is not a huge deal in the scheme of things, so it doesn't bother me.

Be proud of who you are, but never let anything define who you are as a person, Porsche or not.

All the best!

What's the resale like on a Lambo?
My neighbohr has a yellow Gallardo Spyder, CLS AMG and a C4S....nice
Two houses down is mint 968, within one block there are two other Boxsters, Cayenne Turbo and Azzure Blue CaymanS. Porsche friendly community

re the CGT. I know two guys who have/had one. Both have told me they spun the car more than once and its not all a comfortable car to drive. You back feels every seam in the road, highway asphalt, ruts, pot holes, etc. The gear shift feels like something on a Peterbilt. Bottom line... the car was never intended to be driven on streets, and was only sold as a road car to salvage the entire ALMS proto project that was scrapped before the car entered a single race.

I agree with you , the Carrera GT doesnt do it for me either and i also dont like the wheels on it. I would have a Murci everytime and the roadster (omg) awesome. The lambo has the 'reliability' that alot of its competetors dont. However its what you add on that makes the car rediculously awesome the extra list is quality.

Im a bad grandson i still havent been out to see my nana and papa and grabbed those photos, thats what working 6 days aweek 11-12 hours a day does for you.

how does the Murcielago compare to the Diablo?
I always thought the Diablo was the most over the top exotic...
A friend is considering a Gallardo spyder as a not-quiet-a-daily-driver but still driven allot. Told him gettting a Lambo without a V12 is like going out an a date with Pamela Anderson but only after she had the implants removed.
