Default My new car...Quite a head turner IMO...

My father got this car as a gift from one of the investors in his company. The investor's wife just had a baby so the car is no longer practical. My father prefers the smoothness and luxury of his Jaguar XK8. His loss is my gain...

Very nice. Paddle shifters rock, but do you miss a console shifter? Also, why doesn't the speedo seem to peg out at 0 mph? Beautiful, and your fleet is looking very complete.

Default Very nice...

Very nice... A 65-70k car for free... Anyone know about these cars, like dependability and what not, I have only heard of Maserati a few times, but don't know much about them... But I think I found a new car to shoot for in the 70kish range if I could ever afford it...

Default Joe Walsh

I'd say get an old Joe Walsh CD or cassette tape.........
...."My Maserati does one-eighty-five........
.....I lost my license, now I can't drive".

Only problem...from the pictures, I don't see any place to play it.
