I guess it just depends on how you feel about how you invested you money. I wouldn't drive my enzo excessively fast on the street, or put it in a situation where it could be damaged for the very reason that it is a rare car, and I would be priviledged to own it. Keeping it on a track would be much more safer and responsible in my opinion.

I know that these people are not worried about the money, obviously they have enough of it. But sheesh at least respect the car.

I have been searching for the post, nothing on the evening news, drudgereport, or the radio station website. I have blasted the radio station an e-mail asking for where they got this information.

I went and saw a new Fort GT in the showroom of the local dealer and WOW! It's beautiful in person. I would say it would be a great car to own if you have $168,000 to spend on a car. They charge $5,800 for racing stripes! They charged $750.00 for red painted calipers! But they threw in a license plate frame FREE! <- so generous

But what made me mad is how I walk in the dealership and every sales person looks at me and goes on about their business! Age discrimination makes me so mad! I had the same problem when I was looking for a new car before I bought my 8. Stupid morons...you are only a FREAKIN CAR SALESMAN...and you look down on me? (Sorry had to rant on that...I've got anger issues )

LMAO... tell me about it. I can't tell you how many 8s I looked at and got no attention. Every dealership I looked at just turned me away. 20 years old and looking at an RX-8 by myself... no attention.

Needless to say, I finally found a dealership willing to check me out... and I bought it. I guess the first 7 dealerships just lost a customer. Thanks Hiley!

Talking It looks like I have a new job...

I got an offer today for the IT Security job I interviewed for a couple weeks ago. I'm still negotiating the salary, and then we'll negotiate the start date (which IMO is ASAP, lol), but miss non-technical is going technical after all!

Thanks guys!! No, this job does not require me to relocate. I'll still be on JSF and still in security. We (security) are split between computer and non-computer. I'm basically making the jump from one side of the fence to the other. Not only is the other side greener, but there's more money and I don't have to deal with my stupid boss anymore. I'll probably accept the offer today. YEAH!

What did you hit?

A few weeks ago a rock fell from a tree and dented and scratched my hood. Damn trees.

Welcome back Mr. Ed and congrats on the house.

I don't even know what I hit. I was changing lanes and heard something... My heart is broke.
