I also had a 02 convertible, this was my first Ferrari (gotta start out with a read one) a 360 coupe,
This was a F1 car, then I bought a 360spider Gearshift and then a 04 575 F1 and the last was my 430 coupe. The Gallardo was a 04 (wuth the LP560 front end on it, it was also the first (that I know of to be converted to RWD. I hate AWD sports cars.
If you go to www.mikesultraservice.com you will see many of my cars (Mike is standing with my 430, he though it made for good advertising). Mike is a friend and has helped me build many of my cars. As I have gotten older, I find writing novels keeps my creative juices flowing and it is much cheaper than buying cars and then taking them apart. I used to keep as many as 16 at a time, now only 8. I found out a year ago I am the poster child for Aspergers which explains many of my bizarre traits (like owning 120 watches 150 pairs of shoes, 75 suits most never altered, I do not wear suits), I need a decent sized house just to hold all the stuff I buy, then donate it all to charity and start all over again. In addition to my 4th novel I am writing a book about living life with Aspergers. As far as this new car I am exploring options but it is pretty damn nice right out of the box.
This comes from a guy who has owned 40 Porsche's 39 BMW's 4 Ferrari's ,3 Maserati's and a Lamborghini (some of those cars are still in my garages)
with all that money you'd think you'd fix your driveway...
LOL, got divorced needed a house quick, this one is temporary leaving it soon, my girlfriend and I are bringing our kids our dogs and our cars together in something that will fit us all. It will be fixed this spring before it goes on the market.

Thanks for sharing your story. You sound like an interesting guy. If your looking for another challenge - how about collecting one of each generation Vette.

Thank you all for the kind words. Well my life has not been what you call normal left home at 16 spent for years on the road with the Dead. I never went to school very often and finally stopped after the 8th grade, so I am totally self taught, and that meant I always needed to keep challenging myself, whatever someone said I could not do something, well I needed to prove I could. I donate all proceeds from the books to charity and the money from the film stuff as well. I have had my five seconds of fame my name being mentioned in the Hollywood Reporter with Russell Crowe and Daniel Craig as be interested in the two main male roles in Mr. Breeze, but I write my books to try and show the world there is another way other than hate(I get dozens of messages every week from people thanking me for my books, I believe to forget the past or not know it to begin with means we will make the same mistakes again). Having Aspergers makes it hard to fathom human emotion so animals and things (like lots of cars ) move me to feelings. With every new car I get a new sense of purpose, though I must admit I was sitting in the C7 yesterday trying to figure out of the set the exist set position. Am I wrong or does the car have a way to set the seat and the steering wheel to a certain spot when you turn it off. Figured out the garage door remote programing and set all my preferences but could not get that one to work. Compared to my other cars this is a very small manual and Chevy does not have techs that come to my house like the other dealers to explain everything. One more thing I have the most amazing (and incredibly gorgeous) woman in my life who has taught me more about normal life in
the last almost 6 years than I learned in the 53 years before I met her. My Aspergers is a curse but I am a very lucky guy non the less.
