Your line of profession sounds par for the course on affordability of toys. I have a few clients who passed their required courses and certifications only two years ago and have already successfully generated six, approaching seven figure bottom lines for themselves through their firms. Sounds like you made some very good choices and worked hard. Awesome collection and not everyone can say they have a million dollars worth of toys in the garage.

Fantastic collection, and congratulations on your accomplishments that allowed you to acquire these toys. I hope that you find the time to enjoy them all!
Also, it is great that you believe that the C7 is worthy enough to belong in such an esteemed world class grouping that you have!

In terms of the 458 vs C7, in sound and acceleration , the 458 is clearly louder, and quicker. It is the quickest set of paddle shifters I have seen-- even quicker than the Mac's, though the Mac is a faster car. But neither, as good as they are, are 4.5X better cars, based on prices.

As far as profession-- pretty boring actually. Attorney.
Waiting for my NY bar results. Need an associate?

Be honest. Being your avatar says 'Virginia' and 'drummer, you're actually Stewart Copeland.

DROOL!

You even have a first gen Viper! However the Mclaren 12C Spider is my ultimate dream car (my brother's is the 458).

We are both active duty military stationed in the DC area so if you ever want to give a charity drive to some sailors, let me know!

P.S. Just saw the Viper's history in your previous comment - so cool! You must take good care of your wife too!

Wow, how do you decide on what car to drive today ? How's the supply on Ford GT parts going ? Those truly are a thing of beauty for sure.

Obviously a beautiful stable. And I know alot of attorneys, and none have a collection like that.

I wouldn't mind being your insurance guy.

If you run out of garage space a Suburban and a Camaro would also give you seating for 12.

With its round taillights the Ferrari looks more like a Vette than the C7.

Congratulations on your incredible success.

The Vette replaced a CTS-V as a DD, but also got a Jeep GC when I bought Vette.

Ford GT parts not a real issue other than price. But the Fords are pretty bullet proof and simple. My Viper tech works on them.

When I read about the Vette , I cancelled my Viper order. The new Viper and SRT is a mess. Chevy did their homework. Happy to be back in one.
