:o It lives  ;D

It's been a little busy.   :-\

When we get the other house sold and the major service done on the old ferrari and the belts done on the bikes and I don't have to go testify before the State senate and the throttle cables replaced on the boat and the work contracts done and permits for the office acquired and various other first world problems about which I have no right at all to complain, things will settle down and I'll be around more.     [thumbsup]

Life is good, folks.   Ride hard.   On your Audi-owned monsters.
It's still buy a flounder a drink month

I can't imagine a Lamborghini without an image of Dong Johnson and Miami Vice and loud Hawaiian shirts. The Italian Corvette, for Italians with erectile dysfunction :P j/k

Aaaaaannnyyyway,

If its made in Italy, by Italians, then it's an Italian bike.... regardless of parent company.


If not, then that would mean my Brutale is actually a Harley.... [puke] [puke]

 I think I own some VW stock through a mutual fund. That means I own Ducati too?

People that can afford exotic cars but think people that buy them are douchebags: frugal

People that can't afford exotic cars but think people that buy them are douchebags: jealous

Ferrari's, Lambo's, and such are bad ass machines. The sound is as magnificent as our Ducati's. The engineering, handling, and raw power is incredible. I think we see more around where I live then almost anywhere in the world and I never tire of them.

I bet they are but just really not my thing. I don't really care enough about cars to be jealous of them. Bikes are an entirely different story....

the problem with "most" exotic cars as I see it is this....most of them are WAAAAYYY over engineered for any kind of normal civilian street use and suffer issues from more or less atrophy because of being run in a manner less optimal than what they were origionally designed for....this based mostly on the fact that US streets don't provide legal opportunities to drive them as intended....kinda like the principle idea of the newb on a Hayabusa puttering around on a road while being passed like he is standing still by a guy on a 400cc motard....cars that are built to be used more within the realm of real potential on real roads are much more impressive to me.....hence why I give more respect to a car like Statler's Ferrari Mondial over a guy in a 599 or other cars of that ilk....especially when they are driven and done so regularly....

Nope, nobody missed a joke...going off my memory I'd thought there were Lambos with suicide doors in Miami Vice. Was never a fan of that show, I was a kid at the time and didn't watch much teevee, mainly just the A-Team and Dukes of Hazzard, lol

If one is really into a fast car for the purity of driving why buy anything besides an Ariel Atom?  I can crash five of those for one cheap Ferrari or ten for a decent Lambo.....

Although when money is no object I may buy a really nice Porsche.....
