Thanks John, you were kind enough to give me a ride already when I lived in Darien. You had a beautiful Blue GT40 and I believe I commented as much, and once again thank you for the ride. You drove out of your way to share the experience and I am grateful. You are correct, I do not have a GT40 of my own so if that invalidates my advise then so be it.... You might question why I do not own one yet, well exactly as you stated it is too expensive of a car for me to own at this point in my life just as you stated in your advise to Jordan here:

Unless you inherit money, it will take along time to save alot of throwaway money on a car. Most folks here have lived our lives have families ect.ect. Now we have the expendable cash to have fun.
At 28 I have a hard time pulling the trigger on a depreciating or flat lined (in case it does not depreciate) asset. But my situation is a thread drift so I will conclude... I am not sure what was so pompous with my advise up above except you must have gotten jumpy about my spelling and grammar comment. In fact to your point above I did mention this:

"While there are many people in this world that are successful without competent writing skills..."

Therefore since you clearly have pointed out that you have a GT40 in addition to other very nice cars you could be a role model for this this. I look forward to your dissertation on the connection between poor grammar and the quantity of beautiful 1960's era race cars that one owns.

So how about this, just forget the idea of correct grammar from my post and use this since long winded responses are out of style.

1) Never forget your dream
2) Get a good job
3) Read what you can on the car
4) When in doubt refer to number 1

Jordan I apologize for the post drift. Cheers to you on your quest to own one.

Kevin
