Yup, a friend of mine is the perfect mid-life crisis stereotype, he's about 60, divorced and accumulates vettes (with the occasional 911 or viper). All he needs is a few gold chains and a hot tub.

I rather buy a Ferrari, you can get 355's for $60kish these days. That car is 10 times better than any Vette and will be worth twice as much in 5 years.

Or a simply sublime 456.

Someday I'm going to buy myself a dino (about 1969, not the new ones) to play with.

I looked at some online Dino, they got expensive. Have you price one lately? Your going to drop a couple hundred grand to pick up a good one.

Ever since I was a little kid I have wanted a 355. I think you tend to want the bigger Match Box cars that you played with when you were little!

Its a Ferrarigasm! A Vette won't do that for me, NFW.

I'm afraid to check the price. There are a few nice ones in denver that turn up at all the local shows, I just think they are one of the coolest looking cars around.

Nothing sounds like a Ferrari, I don't know how they do it. Pour music from the Heavens!

Not only the price, but a Dino is slower than almost every modern car (even economy cars).
