Since then my passion has grown and find that I am in a daily autotrader never ending rabbit hole searching for my next project. I've been fortunate to own many amazing cars over the years, including a Murci SV, AM DBS, Aventador, Viper GTS etc etc

The current fleet is comprised of:
2020 g550 aka ice cream truck - Daily driver, first time they made significant changes in the car since 1979. Incredibly aerodynamic with great mpg :p Thinking of wrapping the brush guard black to match the side trim, absolutely love the dark green jade metallic.
2018 Ferrari 488 - track weapon, lowered with full straight pipe exhaust, an absolute blast to drive and could DD it if need
1959 Mercedes 190sl - 0 to 60 in 15 minutes. Breaks down constantly. Overheats. Brakes more skid to a stop than actually come to a stop. Complete nightmare of a car I am constantly fixing and without question it is my absolute favorite. No better cruising car up the coast. My hope soon is to upgrade to a 1957 300sl roadster.

Thinking of upgrading the 488 but not sure where to go from here, also have been looking at DB4s lately. The addiction grows everyday.
Nicely done!
