^^^If you had disposable income, you would reconsider. I know I'd get one if I had the bank roll.

****Remember:
1)If you can afford it, by all means do it.
2) Renting one is not as satisfying as owning one.
3)If your car is on coils, then you are already used to this.
4)You only need one girl at a time, and with that car, you can pick one up every hour on the hour.
5)That is why we have Insurance...and most people are afraid to fack with such a nice car
6)If you got it, flaunt it.
7)6'1'' can fit easily. Have you ever tried sitting in an R8?
8) At the end of the day it is a super car and meant for weekends, so you wouldn't deal with it every day.

It is a gorgeous ride....CONGRATS PapaHoff.

OH THE MISERY OF OWNING A FERRARI F430! I feel so bad for supercar owners...

Congrats on your new pick up, papahoff! I'm jelly

I have disposable income, and my future inheritance will be 6mil if my mother doesn't blow throw her inheritance quickly (My grandparents helped start BOB's big boy and invented the first folding baby strollers, etc etc)

I make between 1200-1600 per week, myself, as a physical therapist

I have only one debt which is my 2008 Lexus IS250awd which is only 248/month payment to stabalize my credit


I'm just frank and be realistic...sure I would love a fun fast ferrari (My older bro wants the 458 Italia) but I don't want a headache car, I want to put money away for a rainy day, invest in precious metals when they hit low.

In addition if I ever have a wife and kids someday I want disposable income there to support them and make sure they have a happier childhood than I did or at least have a better supportive father than I did.

But like I said to each his own, just I believe in the future, not the present......

Funny, but wrong

funny how you compare cost of ownership to being able to actually buy the car. How about you keep all receipt of all costs to keep your car running, out of the Impound, as well as pretty.....I would like to see that list in 5-10 years

I understand where you are coming from, and I apologize for flaming on you. Having said that, it is important to live in the present moment to some extent and enjoy yourself. Have you ever checked out an r8? My friend's dad is 6'3'' and is getting one in the next couple months. It has the most headroom in the "supercar" lineup and won't break the bank.

You have it all wrong Pete. It seems you would be buying a super car for all the wrong reasons if that stuff is all you care about. Hell drive a Lotus Elise, you have to watch out for EVERYTHING on the road and if you do hit something you may have to replace the whole front half of the car.

First thing is most people with real money and "disposable income" don't care to talk about it, nor post it on a public forum. However, it is nice you get to live off of your grandparents money. Yet this is not a "cool" thing in the world of the rich! Kinda like a lottery winner lol!

Congrats on the Ferrari! Awesome car! You should post up some more pics of it!

Those R8s are damn sexy beasts. We will see, when I'm old and need a project or fun car I'll have to sure look at all the great stuff out there.

Right now I'm working as hard as I can so I can retire early, in fact I work 50hour weeks though I'm only making money per patient.

I mean if you want a Ferrari, I'm not going to stop you, hell I love going to the dealerships here in Bellevue and Seattle and pay them 100 to test drive it for half the day for kicks and giggles, but I would never buy one unless I had my personal track or nearby track to race at and wanted to bother with upkeep.

Reason I choose my Lexus was for these reasons:
1) Took depreciation hit
2) low miles (got mine with 20800 miles)
3) Reliable
4) Can handle Seattle, WA weather/roads
5) Comfort
6) Low payments (I work ONLY with 300ish payments as I only fo for vehicles that are 1/4 my rental house payments)
7)Sporty
