buying a new car sucks
USUALLY
I've always wanted a really special car, a head turner so to speak, and this fits the bill. twin turbo, 345 HP with a Ferrari engine. 0-60 in 5.5 sec and a top speed of 177 (no, it doesn't do 185 like Joe Walsh claims, at least not this one, unless we are going downhill). I slept in it last night...and didn't have insomniaLast edited by Doc; 05-31-2018 at 08:44 AM.

Nice car Ron. If you lived closer we could ride around and hang out where the ladies gather. Then show off and burn rubber if the wives found us

I drove a 72’ pinto in high school, it was beige. My friends and I dubbed it “The Screaming Italian Pinto” we called it the “The Screamer” for short... Originally Posted by Doc

By the way most mornings I pass (going the other way) a Quattroprte. At first I thought it was a Tesla, then one morning I got a closer look. Maserati’s are Head turners for sure, I haven’t seen a Ghibli in person, but those photos are sweet! Originally Posted by Doc

I slept in it last night...and didn't have insomnia
I spotted a Quattro when Ms boss was with me a while back and got the “eye roll with no comment”. I would “have” to sleep in it if I got one because I would no longer have a home, plus I’m sure she would change the locks on the garage too. (that’s what the eye roll w/no comment means)
Enjoy!!!
