Drooling...

I've ransacked my spare change pocket, and come up SLIGHTLY short rofl, or else I'd buy this baby:

It's a 1967 Ferrari Spider--one of only 10 made--and it's expected to fetch around $17 million cool ones: 1967 Ferrari 275 may set record at Monterey Classic Car Week auction.

The original owner paid $14,500 for it, or roughly $100,000 in today's dollars.

This limited run of 275 N.A.R.T. Spiders mix their good looks with ferocious performance; a 3.2-liter V-12 with six Weber carburetors makes 300 horsepower. The engine is mated with four-wheel independent suspension and a five-speed manual transmission, with taller gear ratios than other 275s to accommodate the longer straightaways of U.S. tracks.

Now excuse me...I need to find something to wipe up the drool with. :laugh:

If you actually came up with that kind of money, bought the car and totaled it, may God help you. :rofl:

Hmm, let me check my couch cushions...

Want to pool your take with mine? We could share custody of the Ferrari. :laugh:

Sorry, came up a few million short.

Sure would be a fun commute between Ohio and Cali, though.

Maybe if we combine all of our spare change we can get it! Than we just have to time share it out!

It's too late! While I was busy checking under all my cushions and in my spare change pockets, it sold! And you know what? We were *WAY* short! It didn't sell for a cool $17 million as predicted. No, indeed...it went for TWENTY-SEVEN AND A HALF MILLION cool ones. :bawling:

The auctioneer opened the sale at $10 million. The first bid pushed that to $16 million. Minutes later the final gavel fell at $27.5 million for the ultra-rare 1967 Ferrari
