Dennis,
Unless I'm mistaken, the yellow 911 is TLJ's car, so I would think that would take that one out of the loop. Of course, I'm sure you have her buy-in for whatever you decide. As you know, I'm a die-hard Ferrari guy. While I agree with the other lister's comment (Doug??) that a Lambo v. Ferrari is like the Stones v. Beatles (though in my mind it's more like death metal v. Rush - shameless plug for the greatest band in the galaxy! heh heh...), I still (personally) would go for the 430 manual 6 speed. Two reasons: 1. It's a Ferrari. 2. (not that a second reason is needed after #1...) An F430 with a manual 6 speed is not a very common Ferrari (and isn't a 6-speed just more fun?? You get to do that 3-pedal dance all the time...). Only my opinion and as Doug *did* point out in another post, it was free, so you know what it's worth. ;-) Good luck and have fun! gp
