In that vein, tell me not to buy this.

or this

Especially when all I do is drive back and forth to work, and I have not even had time to go to the track in three years.

Wife votes this.

Bottom left guy is Nikola Tesla. Bottom guy is Christopher Hitchens. I don't know either woman (is the one on the left Curie?) or the guy above Hitchens, though he looks really familiar...

I suspect I'm going to kick myself when I find out who the ones I didn't know are...

Just naming the cars I like would probably give you a migraine. I think we have very different tastes.

It also comes with regret for not just going ahead and getting a Ferrari.

True, but how many times to the shop with the Maserati to get equal.

WTF is this?

Given that $85,000 buys me these:

I wouldn't actually buy either of them. I'm 8 years old though.

Having worked a good bit on a Lambo Jalpa I think I would pass.

Working 70 hour weeks has me looking at cars when I get home instead of going to the gym.

I wouldn't claim it was a rational or intelligent choice. I can tell you that despite growing up in hick town in northeastern Maryland, I consistently saw one as a kid and it left an impression.

It's the only Lamborghini I want, but damn I want an early Diablo in a bad way.

It's a purely emotional/sentimental thing.
