man WSB breaks it up just as it gets good. j/k, i cant beleive we are even fighting about this. the ferarri, but even making 110k a year, saving until may or whatever, that is still a shi*load of money to pay for a car that cant be driven in rain. i mean i love them but sorry to break it to you 110K isnt THAT much money. no i dont make that much but if i did, i wouldnt drop out 5 yrs of my total income ( assuming you arent paying cash, finance charges, blah blah blah, and oh yeah ever see a maintenance bill for those things- you dont exactely take them to the track, drive the **** out of them, and let them sit outside for 6 months) for a car, and to say the least, the duration of future employment for you seems, ummmm SKETCHY. best of luck though.

That's assuming you can even get one at list. The F360s sold well over list for the first couple years, and might still be to this day.

Im not going to start name calling again. My point is simple, if I made 110k a year, which I dont, (I make half of that) I'd do something better with it. I've been on the recieving side of good fortune in my times, so God bless anyone who can afford it. But seriously, the attitude thing is where rich people get set apart. Im friends with some very wealthy people, but being humble is priceless compared to a bank account. I've driven many sick cars because of the generosity and rigtheous nature of my wealthy friends. The dont go out and talk about how much they've got or how easy it comes to them. And one just friend who did do such things learned the hard way, just as easy as his families money came, it went. Hes now making less money that I am because the family business couldn't afford to pay him. The world is getting out of control with the accumulation of stuff, thats all we do is get more money to get more stuff, and if you work in a service business, like I do, you would realize that people are not nice. People are consumed with their lives at the expense of others. Demanding people are the worst when they have money, they feel that they are the elite so you owe them something. Bitter I may be, but when it all comes to a blazing crash, people like that are going to be the first ones on the soup lines, only to get pushed to the back of the line by people who are used to earning everything they've ever gotten. So to those who've never had anything come easy, and to those who have. To those who expect it and dont appreciate it.

A little off topic, but have any of you seen the video of the FQ400 vs. the Lambo. I think it was the Mucielago (spelling?). The FQ400 hunted down the Lambo on the track and finally could pass when the Lambo spun out in a corner. The driver pushed it too hard trying to stay ahead of the "little" FQ400. That was on of the best car videos I have seen.
