Wow I'm really impressed by your collection.. Do you really own all those cars? And if so why no Ferrari in the list?

Thanks! Yes, but I sold the Cayenne and added a CLK 63 Black Series. I have owned 1 Ferrari and it was a 430 coupe. I didn't care for it very much.

C'mon grussell... bring that 550 and have it tow the 450, or vice-versa. Now that would be a photo op!

Took delivery yesterday. It has gobs of power and the 21s make it handle well. There is a tremendous difference b/w sport and comfort settings. The overall quality of this vehicle is awesome. Very impressed although the sirius radio sounds like crap.

Sorry, I'll be at Infineon racing. The question is, what will I drive up there?

Congrats! Now for the pesky questions...
1. What's the color makeup?
2. Are your running boards chrome or stainless?
3. Any pics?

Mine came in early,, Kinda cool. Should be getting it by the weekend just in time for weekend getaway with wife and kids.. This will be a great family mobile.. Kids can't wait to have TV's - they've been part of the wait as well...

Headed to the country.. There will be an inside and outside pool.. Good opportunity to catch up with my family and leave the daily grind behind!

Well there's some good news! Congrats! I'm excited to see the pictures of the beastie (after the family vacation, I'd assume). Should be a heck of a ride!

Forgive my ignorance but what does "monikers" mean?
