I got that at the same time I got my Sayings of Chairman clyDe coffee mug,
off of CafePress.  Think it was Dr Ken that created them?

Here's the shortened link if the prior one didn't work for anyone:

Wow! How old was that? I don't remember ever even hearing about that...

First off, thanks to all who responded.  Good points, all, and good food
for thought; thanks!  My preference is indeed for a 6-spd 430 at this
point, but just got offered a six-speed 06 Gallardo for short, short
money.  And I'm talking with an Flister who may be selling something
that I'd love, but this lister is unsure whether to part with it or not.
We'll see.  :-)

Anyway, the point of this post is that I recently cleaned out my closet,
and came across this.  Brand new, unworn, and must surely be worth $$$$$
as a collector's item!

Howdy, folks.  In need of some input.  

Time for a new toy, and I've narrowed it down to a few options.  For
roughly the same money, I can have...

1.  An earlier Gallardo (2004/2005), and a modified 996 twin turbo with
sick, sick horsepower (though I'd have to trade/sell the yellow 911,
which I'd hate to do, but can't rationalize having 2 911s).

2.  a 430 coupe with a manual 6-speed transmission, and keep the yellow
911.

3.  Sell the yellow 911, and buy . . . A Gallardo.  Turbo.  With sick,
sick horsepower.

Thoughts?  I seriously love TLJ's 996; it's been the most reliable
vehicle in my garage over the last few years, and only has 60k miles on
it, and I can take the girls out for rides in it, so I'm loathe to get
rid of it.
OTOH, I'm now seriously, seriously in lust with a 996tt I found with 1k
horsepower (on race gas).  I can't possibly justify having two 911s in
the garage.

So do I get the 996tt and add a Gallardo, just to keep it interesting?
Or do I keep TLJ's 996 and get a manual 430 instead?

The wild card is the TT Gallardo....

Thx,

--Dennis
