I am sure is worth the wait. There's one in my parking lot, red and it sure kicks, but is regular one. I am sure the spyder is more fun.
I didn't believe him then 
, but after I had the first Ferrai F355, I know what he is talking about 
.Now I am working my ass off for the car
, it's like I am the slave for the car <_< !!

This night drive thing is just to meet in between since it was so long ago last time.
We were planning a BBQ and driving range thing, but that die due to the lack of attendance. Maybe if we go yum cha it will be a different story.

I agree that the spyder should be more fun than the hard top especially for cruising. Personally I prefer Ferrari than any other sports car in the market. As you can see in my previous cars profile. Long time ago a Ferrari sales manager said to me "Once you owned a Ferrari, it's impossible to go back to others" I didn't believe him then , but after I had the first Ferrai F355, I know what he is talking about .
Now I am working my ass off for the car , it's like I am the slave for the car <_< !!

You have driven the C36, S55, M3 and the M5. Which one you like the best?
Pros and Cons of each car?
Pros and Cons of each car?
, obviously the AMG is better than a standard Benz because of a stiffer chassis and everthing is a bit better all over. The one thing that I hate 
is their traction contol, although there is a OFF button, but in fact it cannot be switched off totally :thumbsdown: . M3 is a very forgiving car(both E36 & E46) and it's very well balanced and very easy to drive
. E46 M3 has a very very good chassis and looks very beautiful . The SMGII gear box on it is above average and I think people are crazy if they buy a E46 M3 in manual 
.M5 - So far so good, can't give you much info as yet because the car is not run in enough for me to try some stupid things in it
. Will let you know later.

First of all, because of my racing background I only like rear wheel drive cars. Mercedes are good and comfortable in carrying people , obviously the AMG is better than a standard Benz because of a stiffer chassis and everthing is a bit better all over. The one thing that I hate is their traction contol, although there is a OFF button, but in fact it cannot be switched off totally :thumbsdown: .
M3 is a very forgiving car(both E36 & E46) and it's very well balanced and very easy to drive . E46 M3 has a very very good chassis and looks very beautiful . The SMGII gear box on it is above average and I think people are crazy if they buy a E46 M3 in manual .
