When i come to think about it, im kind of the same. I got my GS brand new in 99 and its been good to me for going on 14 years and ive wanted a new car for a while now but i'll always say to myself hell my Lexus is in damn near mint condition, runs better than it did when it was new and I have no car payments.

We don't know that. Enzo Ferrari died in 1988, at age 90. The cause of death was never released, though he was known to have had a kidney disease.

He owns a villa in an upmarket part of Switzerland, a large country estate in Sweden, and a vineyard in Provence, France; he also drove a Porsche for several years.
