No, I just like to browse & read through the threads. 
On an unrelated note, I got a notice today that we have out first P1 in Dallas for sale.

I don't think it's on public display just yet. Interesting color, though.

Welcome to reality. But, with some smart investment and saving...I think you'll be fine.

For the first 2 years, I set up a pretty good amount of CD saving. That literally forced me to save.
Anyway, good luck with everything man.
Don't worry too much about making $ in the first couple years. Just work hard, get that experience up. $ will come to you eventually.

^ Finally got to see it at the auto show. Favorite corvette . looks good
Yea I already have mint.com and I already wonder where money goes
Haha thanks I'm sure I will. I opened a high yields savings account to stuff extra loan money I had to pay for rent over the year.
Yea for sure. I mean I'm happy with my pay, more than I expected, but taxes that's pretty new to me even though I am working part time now.
haha man I had the same feeling when I got out of school too.

The LP640 wasn't available in 2002 
It looks like a V12 Vantage was placed instead of an actual Vanquish and what's an Audi RS8?

nice trip down memory lane, regardless of all the errors.
I definitely think the white Testarossa was the representative car for Miami Vice tho.
it's annoying that they would try to so incompletely tackle the Bond franchise, there are many cars missing. who can forget the thrilling chase with the F355 in Goldeneye?? speaking of thrilling chases, what about the S8 in Ronin? Risky Business, Ferris Bueller, Weird Science, Pretty Woman, Carrie, Dumb and Dumber, ah I could keep going. Regardless, it was fun to look at.

, however, the dog van from Dumb and Dumber was in there, but the lambo is missing which is the car I think you're referring to. I think though that car is a bit of a stretch as not many remember the lambo as they do the dog van.The creator could have made a poster of just the bond movie cars.

Just in case someone hits the lotto and decides to become an overnight Ferrari collector...
They have an Enzo, F40, and 288 GTO as well.

Another error: The A Team van was a GMC, not a Chevy. Still a great poster though....
Personal favorite car on that poster is the Dodge Interceptor from "The Wraith". Remember watching that movie over and over growing up...

With the cancellation of the CTS-V wagon, does anyone sell a new wagon in the US with a manual transmission anymore? Even BMW doesn't offer it in the 328i or 328d.
