ISONSX: I think you'll need to spend more than $100K to get a decent 360. I'd say $120 or so. As for maintenance on the Lambo (which someone else inquired about), I bought a new '06 Gallardo E-Gear. Absolutely zero mechanical problems and maintenance was not expensive. These newer Ferraris and...

When I had my '01 NSX, I test drove a Ferrari 355, and I have to say I thought the NSX was a much better car. However, I ended up trading the NSX on a Ferrari 360 Modena, which I thought was more fun to drive than the NSX. The 360 is light years ahead of the 355 in terms of reliability. I never...

Why did you sell the R8? I would think that would be a keeper?? The R8 was a tremendous car. I'll put a picture of it below (if I can figure out how). It was incredibly smooth, fast, responsive, and comfortable. The problem was I had to pay a LOT over list price to get one. They're very limited...

Oops, forgot one. Had a '06 convertible Vette (blue six speed) at the same time as the Lambo. Surprisingly nice car. I miss it, especially the heads-up feature.

Well, actually, it's a bit complicated. I'm a serial car collector -- I can't afford to have all the cars I want at once, so I get them in sequence! So I traded my '01 NSX for an 01 Ferrari 360 Modena. Traded the 360 on a '06 Lamborghini Gallardo (new; metallic red; e-gear); traded the Gallardo...

I traded my '01 red NSX for a '01 yellow Ferrari 360 Modena. They're very different cars (and the 360 cost quite a bit more). The NSX is well-balanced, great on the twisties, fun to drive; the Ferrari is...well, a Ferrari! A little more of a handful but has inspiring power and incredible exhaust...

The '99 is spa yellow; the '04 is Rio yellow. I just bought a yellow '04 and really like the color. It's hard to tell them apart unless you have them side by side, but the '04 shade seems to be more pearlescent and a bit brighter. Maybe less brownish. Hard to describe (and, ironically, I'm a...
