Hi all! That's it!!!! I'm head over heels in love - with a car!!!
I was doing a little shopping on the net, you know for a sedate SUV for the fam'. Just for ducks, I thought I'd take a gander and see if kit cars are still out there - you know, those do-it-yourself cars that look like Countachs and 'Vettes, but don't require that you have a six digit salary. But what I found shocked me to the core. Or to the car, if you know what I mean ;)
You see, I was looking at what I THOUGHT was a kit car 308 GTS Ferrari, the all time love of my life. Then I read the French ad more carefully - it was a REAL Ferrari - and it was only 24,000 Euros! In American dollars, that's just $19,000!!! The same as the price of our would-be SUV!!! Hmm...!@#$%^!
SUV?
Ferrari?
SUV?
Ferrari?
SUV??? --- <buzzzer>
That's it!!! My plan is SET!!!!
1] Abandon my family (no room for 3 in a 2 seater)
2] Hitchhike to Belgium
3] BUY THE FERRARI!!!!!
4] Rob banks with it to pay the $$$ insurance!!!!
My heart hasn't felt like this since my first kiss (oh wait, that was over a garbage can -- never mind).
Ok, ok, back to Earth silly daggit. Remove your cranium and pinch yourself. Even YOU dear daggit don't dream THAT big... :D :D :D
