Hello folks,
I bought this car 6 years ago from a member on this forum.
There is probably a record of that on this forum if you search my name.
It's a 2005 model, you know with the aluminum pedals and direct throttle control. She's Loaded with every available feature. Plus some.
She was hand crafted for someone and still has the plaque ( Hand made for ....)
I sold a minty C5 Corvette to buy it. Because when I saw it.....there was just no other sports car. I thought it was a Ferrari. It's been mistaken for a Ferrari several times over the last 6 years.
Can't go anywhere in it without being photographed or videoed. Can't park it at a bar and expect someone not to fk it up.
Not everyone will like you , because of this car.
They think it cost 150k. And why should you have it?
you know? It happens. And look, I'm not a car snob.
Cars are not fast to me. I ride a zx1400. I bought it in Feb of 2010. She was a leftover 2008, special edition. Beautiful. I got a deal. I bought the car in 2008. I've put more miles on the bike than I have on the car, in all the time I owned it. I bought the car with 11k miles on it. My Lotus now has 32k, miles.
The bike has 25k, miles.
The bike is more dangerous , but not by much. Even though it's much faster and would probably beat a Bugatti Veyron through the 1/4 mile.
I can do low 9's.
In my past , cars really didn't mean much other than, " how good does it look? And, that's what happened with this car.
I saw it. I had to have it. I didn't care how fast it was. It was the look.
Looks matter.
I put her up for sale on this forum ( sort of) and backed out. I couldn't part with the car. And here is why.
I couldn't think of a better looking sports car, that screams exotic.
I have had Porsche's become invisible. Corvettes become invisible.
Mustangs ??? pFFFT. Looks matter.
So now I have this car............the only car I ever had, that has kept its value and most likely exceeded it. And that is why I type this.
What happened? Why is my car now worth nearly as much or more than what I paid for it?
Smart money tells me to sell. But I know I cant get another one, like this.
I have meticulously cared for this car.
So here she is. 6 years later.
