that's your choice my friend. CGT one of my favorite cars of all time but not practical enough for me to justify keeping it.
- in less then 6 months put 7K miles on it, so got plenty of seat time
- I live in SF and not best of car to have. I don't like also having to plan routes
speaking from experience, CGT is really the best if you can afford many cars, have many parking spots and just want to take it out infrequently.
That is why I moved on.
and yes, I do get bored after I've finished moding my cars and getting everything I've wanted out of that car.

Fred, I posted on your other thread as well, but once again congrats. These tough economic times make us all "take inventory" and evaluate cost effectiveness with regards to non essentials.
You will love the SL. The Gallardo's take alot of flack from the purists, but they are great cars to drive. I did about 3hours in a 06 this weekend and loved it.
With the traction control turned off these babies are a handful! Reminded me of the Viper.
Anyways enjoy.

Very nice! Congrats! From personal experience I don't recommend the Larini system, especially with test pipes. If you have the money go get the Jota Bulls Miura Corse System with the test pipes. Sounds so much better, it has more of that high pitch F1 sound. The Larini is stupid loud and it annoys me. Just a recommendation thats all.

Now you need to change your nick to FredSL 
Congratulations! Would you mind posting pics of the car after you get it back? I'm curious to see how the white calipers will turn out with the dark SL wheels.
