Well, I Did it! Bought a Maserati Today!

Just bought it. I'm flying to Alabama a week from Monday to pick it up and drive it back to DC. Pics below.

Looks pretty great! You're not saying you bought that with the insurance money are you?

I am. The E320 Cab, 560SEC and 300CE are up for sale. The CE is getting a brand new Remus exhaust and Lorinser bumper cover installed.

That paid for part of it, but not nearly all.

Awesome car! Gotta love those Maseratis!

At least you will not have to worry about oil changes - just keep filling it as it leaks out

That is true. My Ferrari has the same shall we say "ambiance". In fact, this Maserati is built by Ferrari and has the F1 Shifter, F430 Engine and F360 Transmission. 0-Speeding ticket in ten seconds flat! Did I mention the wife is no longer speaking to me? Not a bad thing sometimes.

Yes, I'm partial to convertibles. About the same horsepower as my SL600, but much more aggresive!

Oh well. You have a Maserati now. How many miles are on her? What year is it? I looks new.

No, I'll probably never sell the Ferrari and SL600. The ones I mentioned above are though. The CE is going to be bad to the bone when it comes out of the shop.

I didn't mention the specs:

Make: Maserati Spyder Cambiocorsa
Year: 2002
Mileage: 25535

Nice!

So what gets to sit outside? The way I see it the Ferrari, Jag, SL600, and Maserati should be inside...so you need a larger garage!

The Ferrari and Jag are currently in the garage. I have a custom cover for the SL600 and Jag as well as the others. The Jag moves to the outside, and the Maserati moves inside.
