    To clarify… Speciale Aperta (not 599 SA). I used to have 2 NA V8’s which somehow converted to 2 NA V12’s. I do miss the playfulness of the V8 platform.

    (also, before I get roasted, I don’t store the Speciale outside. Pic was taken when by business partner was in town with his CGT so I volunteered the garage :D)

    No E.... your time has passed.... You must serve your sentence and fulfill your punishment. No CGT for you. You had your chance and you blew it!

    Here’s a pic of his stable when I had my GT3RS out in Scottsdale (traded the RS for my current manual GT3, because manuals are superior). Fayence Yellow, chassis 787.

    Agreed it can take a toll, but I’m 21 so I’ll enjoy it while I’m young lol

    The nice thing about the 991.2 GT3 Manual is the auto rev-matching in sport so if I don’t feel like rev-matching myself it does it for me (flawlessly). That paired with the light clutch and abundance of storage space is why I semi-daily mine. I’m a Ferrari guy at heart but this car and the CGT are slowly converting me :D

    You are a rare animal. Most of your generation and previous generation do not even know what a manual transmission is or if it ever existed. The best anti theft device is a manual transmission, these days.

    Cool! I don’t mean this in a negative way at all, but how does one manage two franchised dealerships at the age of 21? I was still in college then. You sound like you have a great work ethic and an exceptional ability to sell inventory. Good for you, and enjoy your nice rides!

    I skipped college and started working full time in the automotive industry at 16 years of age. I was extremely talented in sales and was fortunate to have management that judged me purely by talent without taking my age into account. First promotion into management was Internet Sales Director at 18, then Used Car Manager at 19, Finance Manager at 20, Sales Manager at 20, and GSM of a a dual Chevrolet / Kia franchise at 21. I was commuting an hour each way and working 12+ hours a day, so I inevitably burned out. I have another position lined up, I’ll likely start at a JLR franchise shortly after my Cabo trip and Monterey Car Week (late August). My goal is to purchase my first franchised dealership by the age of 25, currently on pace to hit that goal :D

    Starting my life at such a young age definitely changed my outlook on life. I realized if I wanted to achieve great things in life I had to start working rather than waste my life away partying or working an easy 9-5. With a goals and hard work anything is possible. Actually quite a few F-Chatters helped my decision to work wayyy back in the day, so I owe the forum a bit of credit in giving me direction in life :D

    Missing from detail day is a 93 Saab 900 turbo commemorative edition and 2005 Ducati ST3.
    B7 in the back gets most the miles out of the bunch. My fav is the 812. Wives fav is the 911.1 Turbo S she has added about 30k miles.
    She never takes an F car. Too flashy for her:)
