Ferrari Mailing List: Re: What should I buy?

[Tom Reynolds (kjtar]

Perfect.  I'd do it again, too.  And, if I knew I'd end up with what I ended
up with, I'd probably keep 'Mario' as well.  But, my crystal ball is
missing.  Oh well, at least I had one once.

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.

Could I afford it? Yea, it cost less than der Frau's KIA Sedona did.

men. I drive my OWN Ferrari.
