Congrats on the new ride.

Hopefully you stick around. You obviously love cars and can offer a great perspective of some other fine machines.

Man, as if getting a single GT-R wasn't hard enough! Stop hogging the Nissans, Zaki! ; )

Two of the very same car, albeit in different colors, was not an easy decision but a logical one nevertheless. Did you ever have a shoe or a shirt or a pair of sunglasses etc. that you had been looking for and never could find and finally one day lo and behold, you had the item right there in front of you, selling at a fair price because of market sitution and renowned the world over for exactly what you loved about it and on top of that the manufacturer of the item had already announced a significant price increase for it in the near future....would you not consider getting a couple while you could and cost was not a consideration? I think you would.

Besides, like hapboy said, its like dating twins.

lowrideraz, both cars have temp plates because the first was bought 11 days ago and still does not have the metal plates sent to me

Do tell.
Welcome to CL Sebring!

Sorry to hijack, but you should post some pics in car chat of your bad boy! I think you'll find that a lot of people like and respect your 63.

I always told myself if I ever "made it" and special cars came along, I would always buy two of them. Put one in a bubble and beat the other one up. While I don't believe the GT-R is "twin worthiness," I do understand the concept.
