[QUOTE="flyboy999, post: 130491, member: 2330"] Don't get me wrong. I don't think guys who buy Ferraris are stupid. I say that tounge in cheek. Heck, as my post indicates, I'm still considering it....seriously. I guess I should provide some background. My brother is a pediatric dentist in Chico California. He makes good money....really good. Much better than I do. He bought a used 360 back in about 2008. Had an independent shop doing the work. Some of his repair bills were in excess of $10K U.S. funds. I could not believe it. He ended up selling it in total disgust. Left a very bad taste in his mouth. When I started researching my purchase a guy in Calgary sent me his receipts for a yellow 360 convertible I was looking at. One of his repair bills was $17K for a bunch of items. Reality set in....i don't make enough money to afford a Ferrari, and I think a lot of guys who think they do, like my brother, quickly find themselves in over their heads. Not stupid people, but certainly a decision make based on emotion and not logic. That said, I'm willing to admit I do stupid things sometimes..... [/QUOTE]
