Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Need group wisdom on pricing for 2007 F430

[LarryT (l02turner]

Hey Brian -
   You obviously don't know me.  Damn right I'd drive it - within limits of 
course.  But I'd drive it cause I love to drive - always have.  Balancing 
driving time with increased maintenance cost is another matter though -

   Of course, if I have a $800k car I hope I'd have the pockets to put gas 
in it?  While we're wishing - may as well wish for it all. ;-)

Take care --
LarryT
