Somewhat regrettably, I'm selling my Turbo X50

Yea man! I don't want to come off too pretentious but I can drive the thing without caring about rocks, dings, dents, mileage, etc. I put about 30,000 a year on a car and with gas prices these days I found it to be perfect though I wish I had waited for the scion Xb to come out so I could toy with it a little but whatever. I enjoy not caring... thats the best part.

Cool Good guess, Doc, but it's

going be to a new Challenge Stradale in Titanium over Black (no stripe, thank you). Hope I don't regret this decision down the road. And later on, we'll have to see what Porsche has up their sleeve with their new Turbo in a yr or so. And, of course, I haven't completely ruled out that luscious Ford GT either, once supply catches up with demand. I really love that car! But, given my driving habits of regular, mostly short fun runs in the countryside, I'm confident this car will fit the fit nicely. fwiw, my ads can be seen on Rennlist or Dupont Registry.

Ok, I will bite.... How does "Challenge Stradale" start with a "C" and end with an "S"?

Have you owned a Ford before? Especially one of their "sports cars"?

Often referred to as a "CS", for Challenge Stradale.

You got it, Gary, CS starts with an C ends with an S

It wasn't at all hard to decipher, was it? In retrospect, maybe I should've said it was *2* words starting with a C, ending with an S
I actually thought the use of caps would've immediately given it away.

I like your choice of cars and color. Ben(LJ) bought a Titanium CS with tan inside. You might want to check out this thread. I think it will eliminate any second thoughts. As a matter of fact, it's got me considering a CS too.

You won't. Alex Shen, the owner of SP Engineering and my tuner, just took delivery of a red over tan CS (no stripe) after a customer "just had to have" his perfect 5500-mile 996 TT. Given the cars he's owned and state of affairs in his current garage, I believe he was quite pleasantly surprised at the ability of this car. Given what you said about your drivng jaunts, it sounds about perfect to me. Have fun.

I don't want to come off too pretentious either, but you can do that with a TT too
