Ferrari Mailing List: Re: What should I buy?

[LarryT (l02turner]

I hear ya Bubba but that wasn't what I was trying to say. Yes, I asked how much 
he'd drive it but that was just my curiosity,  I'm hoping he can rent a race 
track and enjoy it every day.

I know he can afford it - that's the fun of it. Mostly I was thinking it might 
not be as pleasurable to drive as we might expect - which is why I asked if 
he'd driven one. 

I know it always comes back to money but personally, there's some cars I want 
to own, and others I want to drive but not own - but I definately want to drive 
them - and ownership also implies some level of maintanence.  Cars like these 
demand to be driven once in a while - I have no idea how many cars Steve is 
lucky enough to own but each needs exercizing (I'd like to apply for that job 
BTW) and unless he's going to hire someone (me) he has to do it himself - a 
tough job for sure but someone got to do it.  If he has a dozen cars (I'm 
picturing me if I won a lottery) it could become a big deal to keep all cars 
exercized and working properly.   I guess I would buy a few very choice cars 
(12 of them) ;-) and rent others I might want to experience.  Personal 
preference - 

Anyway - forget what I said - ya'll are in a world I know nothin of - 
;-)        (unfortunately)  But that's gonna change - 

I sincerely hope you enjoy every minute you own whatever you buy!

Take Care,
Larry T

  Hey Larry: We've got neighbors who have $450K vehicles that they use only 2 
weeks a year, if that. Hey, if you've got an itch to scratch, money makes a 
great satisfier if you've got it . . . so why not? You sure won't take it with 
you. 

  I'll bet these farmers in East Jesus won't have the thrill that Steve will 
have as the track disappears from beneath his front tires as he goes thru the 
corkscrew at Laguna Seca, engine sceaming!

  Not too many seniors on a fixed income, drawing Social Security go out and 
buy a Ferrari (sorry cLyDe, it's NOT a shitbox).  Did I need it? No. Was it a 
practical means of transportation for a senior and his wife? Again, NO! Could I 
afford it? Yea, it cost less than der Frau's KIA Sedona did.

  But ya see, Larry, I've had this itch since the mid 1950s. To own and drive 
my own Ferrari. It may sound corny and trite, but by God, I can die a happy and 
satisfied man. I own what is only an unfullfilled dream for most men. I drive 
my OWN Ferrari.

  I've seen the farmers, at 2 am, harvesting acre after acre at 5 mph. (Yawn)

  Just my 2 centavos worth, I coud be wrong, yer pal, Ferrari Bubba

Have you test driven the 333SP?   How many days per year will you take it to 
the track?

The reality of driving may be different from what you expect -- not bad by 
any means,  but perhaps an experience that may be extremely intense -  and 
it need a high level of committment to be enjoyable - I'm not explaining 
myself very well  - not trying to suggest you wouldn't enjoy it, but it may 
be like riding a Kentucky Derby contender to ride around the state park.

Also, from what I've read & heard, the 333 is pretty close to a F1 car - 
which may be exactly what you want --  Seems like R&T or one of those major 
magazines did a article about the 333 a while back -

Want me to try and find it?

BTW, how do things like the 333SP sell?  IOW, when the time comes to find 
another little filly to entertain you, and/or you need the space occupied by 
the 333 will it be difficult to find a  buyer?  I wonder if it would do well 
at B-J?
