Ferrari Mailing List: Re: My Almost Perfect Day

[BRIGANDBAR (BRIGANDBAR]

Larry:
 
I'd have to say that this would be an exceptional thread. I would expand  the 
number of toys (cars, etc.) from 10 to 15-20 as I think I'm already outside  
the 10 car limit and have two or three more things to pick up when my budget  
permits.
 
Give me a day or two and I can decide what else I need, other than of  course 
one of those new RR Phantom long wheelbase limousines and of course one  of 
the 100EX convertibles. Oh, and I'd probably exchange the 348 Spyder for a  430 
Spyder (I should be sure but I'm not, I kind of like my 348). Yes, time to  
use them can be a problem but it works itself out. Right now I'm finishing up  
the exterior structure of a facility to house the cars, no HVAC yet, and I'll  
probably settle for basic electricity and a lift right now and buff it up 
later  as required.
 
Incidentally, on a slow day waiting for a jury to come back in about 10  
years ago we did a similar mental exercise and determined that it would take a  
pre-tax win of cash in hand (the current payout option on lotteries not the 20  
yr. payout stuff) would be somewhere in the $60m-$75m to do everything that we 
 wanted to do without ever touching the principle, and about $35m-$30m 
amortized  over 25 years of life remaining leaving a residual $2.5m-$5m to 
settle 
all  remaining expenses at time of death and to maintain the property in a 
perpetual  maintenance, but not usage trust (with open provisions for loans to 
museums,  etc.)
 
So, as they say, the ball is out in open court and ready to be claimed. I  
really like the idea of this thread, and for the purists, it will (at least 
most 
 probably) have some degree of Ferrari content.
