Well, I sold my Shelby Cobra to one of our fellow forum members, and the money was burning a hole my pocket. I wanted to replace the Cobra with something modern and equally fun, in a roadster configuration. I got a really killer deal on a 2008 Viper. I really wanted to get the new motor and tranny before they killed the brand. I'll fly with my son Garrett to Pensacola, FL next week to pick it up. We plan a nice drive up North and will tour the Barber Museum, and the Corvette Museum after spending some time on the beach. It's probably not a good time to spend my cash, but we're all going to die anyway, I may as well have fun while the country and economy goes down in flames.

Some from jumping outta 30 story windows after today!

YOUR method is much 'more gooder'!
 
Have a great time on the trip!! Life is meant to be enjoyed. :thumbsup

After the last few weeks I wish I would have put my money in the multiple GT club rather than the markets. :ack:ack:ack:ack :lol (in the end you have to laugh....it's better than crying)
 
Fun

Bravo! I'm right behind you Tim. I plan to pick up an 04 (3k miles) a 575M Marenello next week.
 
Is that RED?
 
No it is very viper orange
 
Congrats Tim! That car can drift like no other with the right ankle control.

Congtulations on the New Ferrari, I've owned two 550 Maranello's and love the car. You'll really enjoy it!
 
Way to go Dad!

Just love it when you spend my "inheritance".

Have a great run home. Wish I could go too.
 
Tim great purchase. My dear old Dad would tell me "Get a little enjoyment out of every day, as we never know how long we'll be here." You and I can't control the Economy! Ride on Tim. Tomy

Tomy,

You appear to be a man with exquisite timing having sold your dealership some months ago. Both dealerships I sold 10 years ago are now bankrupt and shut down. The individuals running them were very competent. The gasoline business right now is very challenging and volumes have declined precipitously. I'm right with Tim, I distracted myself from trying business conditions by purchasing a brand-new GT500. :banana :banana Hey, in 50 years were all going to be dead and it won't make any difference. Let's roll!!!

EJ,

Other than the fact that my business is completely in the tank, all's well. Fortunately, as poorly as my business is doing, Mrs. Aloha's is doing great.

Hope to see you over soon at Halekulani.
