Ok…so times are tough and I am thinking about moving home to my parents house. Which would free up a TON of $ for me to get a totally bitchin ride. So I was thinking about maybe getting a Ferrari like this [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-Trucks\_\_\_1998-Ferrari-355-Berlinetta-F1-NO-RESERVE-14k-mi-FL\_W0QQitemZ230322486378QQddnZCarsQ20Q26Q20TrucksQQddiZ2282QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS\_Cars\_Trucks?hash=item230322486378&\_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&\_trkparms=72%3A317|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1308](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-Trucks___1998-Ferrari-355-Berlinetta-F1-NO-RESERVE-14k-mi-FL_W0QQitemZ230322486378QQddnZCarsQ20Q26Q20TrucksQQddiZ2282QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item230322486378&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3A317%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1308) Or A Porsche like this [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-Trucks\_\_\_MSRP-103-500-HARD-LOADED\_W0QQitemZ290293045818QQddnZCarsQ20Q26Q20TrucksQQddiZ2282QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS\_Cars\_Trucks?hash=item290293045818&\_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&\_trkparms=72%3A317|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1308](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-Trucks___MSRP-103-500-HARD-LOADED_W0QQitemZ290293045818QQddnZCarsQ20Q26Q20TrucksQQddiZ2282QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item290293045818&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3A317%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1308) Both are easily affordable since I wont have to pay for rent or utilities…pretty sure my parents also agreed to give me an allowance for cleaning up and mowing the lawn and shoveling the driveway. Insurance doesnt matter because I am going to go back on their policy and they said they will pay for 75% of that so I am in awesome shape. So does anyone have personal experience with either of these cars? I am leaning towards the Porsche just because there is a local dealership and I am part German. I also love David Hasselhoff. ---

I will have to make a seperate thread for that… oh wait…nevermind…looks like the research has been done already. But I was thinking seriously about maybe an X5 or a Qx4…just keep it simple but classy. ---
