Sorry to hear that...be positive and and look at the good side of things. There are things more important than cars and toys and we all experience this reality sooner or later.

Garrett is the real deal. So I take it your opinion of the F430 can be summed up by Charlie Sheen's comment in No Man's Land, "Italian trash".

LOL! Not quite that harsh. They are beautiful cars but they just don't fit me. I like performance w/o bling and they are performance with a lot of bling. Also, it felt very wide and large for a sports car. The seating position was too laid back as well.

I love Porsches and German cars!
