Although I have a really nice truck I am jealous of both of you and Burner with the 5.0!!! :)

All I can say is very cool and I am glad that I'll be riding in style next year at Aviation Nation. :lol:

Awesome ride there Panther. Great time to buy with auto makers scrambling. Since November someone I know has bought a new car each week. :D

Here's my new toy:

Nice rides guys and girl. :P Hey Burner, I know somebody similar, my uncle trades in his Acura TL every year for a brand new one, his one now has a ton of sweet bells and whistles. :lol:

My toy says it all. :)

Viper that was my dream car when I was a teenager in high school. I wanted a purple 01 Firebird with t-tops. The closest I got was a 1/24th model racing slot car that ran a 1/4 mile in 0.945 at 50-65mph. Ah the days of wishful dreaming...lol.

Quarter-mile in 0.945 seconds? Thats like 0-500mph in 0.5 seconds. :lol: Where'd you get the JATO rocket from? :D :lol:

Gotta confess, Not a real Ferrari. A reproduction. I wish I could afford the real thing. Only 124 Spyders and little over 1000 coupes ever built from '68 to '74. Perormance of my reproduction is the same or better than the original. Car built on a 1979 Corvette host car. It was built in 1989. Roughly a little over 500 hp in the engine. It has a little "Gitty-up-and-Go" Very fun to drive.

Here is the maker of the reproduction car....
