  1. Hope even the Miami fans can laugh at this one.
  2. Funny you ask. I just put a deposit down on a 911 Turbo S today. I drove a bunch of cars over the past couple of weeks and it was the one I kept coming back to. I will say the Gallardo is the first car I've sold where there was a part of me that didn't want to part with it. In the end, Destructo's advice kept ringing in my head - It's just a car and they made 14,000 of them. If I miss it too much, I can always come back. Maybe even to the LP560. Thanks to all for the advice.
  3. I know, that's the dilemma. I've got a few more cars to add to the test drive list. I've driven the Bentley before and it just felt like a boat to me. I'd prefer something a little more agile.
  4. I will have to add the 612 to my list. One of my friends had one years ago and I never even thought about it.
  5. I've already got a 335xi that I daily drive. I just feel like I don't get to drive the Lambo as much as I'd like and I've had it for a while.
  6. Sorry, should have been more clear. I was hoping to stay under $125K, but thought getting a car with the Gallardo's looks and the Turbo's performance would be closer to $200K
  7. I've had my 2004 Gallardo for over 4 years now and have absolutely loved it. Lately, however, I've been thinking about switching to something else. I've been looking at the 911 Turbo S, Nissan GT-R, Audi R8, and Ferrari F430. I test drove a 2012 911 Turbo S today and was amazed by the car but it just doesn't make my heart skip a beat like the Gallardo did when I first got it. It is ridiculously fast and handles more like a go kart. As far as driving, it's a huge upgrade. It's a certified preowned so it would be under warranty until 2018. If it looked like the Gallardo, it would be a no brainer, but I guess it would be a McLaren or 458 then and cost close to $200K. I've already got one kid with another on the way and love the idea of being able to take both of them and my wife in the car together. I feel like I don't get to drive the Gallardo as much because the three of us can't go together. Not to mention I'm also less likely to take it everywhere because of the attention it gets. On the way to the dealer and back today there were no less than 20 people taking pictures of the car and I was stopped by someone at the gas station to talk about the car. This definitely has it's plusses and minuses. Last week i picked my 2nd grade nephew up from school as a reward for doing well in school and it was so much fun to see all the kids' faces light up. Am I crazy to think about trading in my car for the 911 Turbo? Anyone else do it and regret it? Any other cars I should be looking at?
  8. Forget about the safety stop!! He's lucky he had the spear.
  9. Think you can still buy those racing shoes?
  10. That is a better return than I would have expected. Every financial planner I have ever talked to has also said to buy term and invest the difference. Thank you for the education. Back to your healthy 42 year old example, how much would a guaranteed $5mil policy cost?
