Timberman, Ask and thee shall receive. I just finished rewriting the Ferrari 575 Maranello review and I'm putting it on right now. I hope you enjoy it as much as the other reviews. Michael

magwheel I love you! Quick to prove you're real! Love the license plates, and the cars themselves.

Umm, I'm not up-to-date with my geography, but how far is Poland from Cincinnati?

Oooh, BTW, are you looking to adopt? Don't worry, you won't see me most of the time. So long as I'll be able to sleep in the garage.

You're not doing too bad. At least you knew it was in Ohio! A couple people on other forums thought I was from the country Poland!

Poland is a suburb of Youngstown. And Youngstown is right in between Cleveland and Pittsburgh. I'm about a hour away from both cities.

Glad you like the plates. I stayed up many nights trying to come up with plates that would have people laughing their asses off. Michael

Mercedes is gone physically, but still in my heart.
I'm speechless, all I can come up with is, well, nothing. Unbelievable collection. What do you think of the Ford GT? It's been my favorite "supercar" but haven't heard many reviews on it. -Andrew

I've done reviews of all the cars for them and have 17,000 plus hits in a little over one month. Michael Here's the web link: http://www.jabbasworld.net/viewtopic...er=asc&start=0
OMG! You have a stable of supercars even the Sultan of Brunei will take a second look!!!

Hi Andrew, I'll give you some links where I posted my review of the Ford GT. The one on JabbasWorld has all my reviews.

JabbasWorld also has a ton of new pics that two kids who came over Sunday took. There must be 100 or more new pics of all my cars. I spent over 2 1/2 hours with these two kids who drove 1 1/2 and 3 hours to just come and see the cars! I couldn't believe how car crazy they were! Michael

I'm in absolute awe of your collection. Something I could only dream of, although I'm quite partial to the Ford GT and would have to say I'd pick them over any of the others. Let me know if you ever are giving it away =)

Question What's with the house?

Huh????? It's a fairly modest house. As far as big houses...... been there.... done that and won't do it ever again. I had bought Eddie DeBartolo's house in Canfield, Ohio in 2001, the previous owner of the San Franciso 49ers, whose sister and brother-in-law now own the team. It had 21,000 sq. feet and was insane. Lived there 1 month and when one of my dogs passed away, it was like a premonition to get the heck out.

Big houses are just that!....... too big and ridiculous! 5000-6000 is probably the most I would ever want ever again. The house in the picture is around 4500 sq. ft. and more importantly, it's located on 45 acres with tons of wildlife and peace!! Michael

There you go... gas & oil drilling. With the price of crude floating in the 70s, no wonder you treat yourself like that

God knows that everyone and their ma has made a killing with Valero and similar

Hey magwheel,

First, I'd like to say that you've put everyone's collection on this board to PURE SHAME!

Second, you have an amazing collection of cars and pretty much a "dream stable" as far as any car enthusiast is concerned.

Third, you're house is spectacular quite simply because of the amount of land surrounding it. I know people that live in 50,000 sq. ft. homes and it is just unnecessary and ridiculous.

Welcome to MBWorld.org and enjoy your stay!

Don't you dare buy the SLR. You've got fine taste and a great eye for style! Excellent collection.

The SLR is the ugliest car in the entire world imo. Absolutely no style, shape, or appealing look to it. Even the doors look pathetic. I would take a CLS55 over the SLR if it was simply based on the "look" of a car and not price.

I can't believe someone actually let Mercedes put that grotesque vehicle out. $800 for red painted calipers lol... $800 for PAINT. Everything about that tin can is overpriced and ugly.

So uh.. yeah I have an opinion on it obviously!

Stick with your current lineup... If you are itching to buy a car, get a sedan (didn't see one pictured). The Flying Spur or Maserati would be my choice.
