Stunning pics.

BTW, my MA and PhD resulted in a job that only pays $60K a year (although I only work a 35 hour week, 10 months a year and have killer benefits).

All my cars came from real estate money I learned from 25 years at the School of Hard Knocks, lol.

He's right...I used to think that if you worked hard towards a degree then all your dreams would come true. Well, needless to say, that's not the case. It's all a matter of luck, timing and being at the right place too.

Not to say that hard work doesn't help.

It was being serviced at the time of the photo shoot. I'll do another one with all my toys. Stay tuned.

It should also be noted that, especially as I get older, the benefits from my job start to become larger than the salary. My family and I got 50K in medical services last year and I hardly paid anything.

Some might want to show the little kids (aka boys) what you can get in life if you study (even though you might lie to them, but it's for the best).
Is the blue on the Turbo still available for the new models?
And congratulations for your car collection. All great choices.

Wow, really nice pics!

Are you using some kind of warming or polarizing filter at all?

I don't think Cobalt Blue is available anymore except through special order. It's a real shame because it's a great color! It's since then been replaced by Aqua Blue.

No filters of any kind. I rarely use them except when necessary and when I do, it's usually a polarizer to cut down glare.

I think Cobalt Blue was the color the Turbos has in Top Gear and Fifth Gear reviews and I've started liking this car with that color. The rest didn't hurt either.
I like your pictures, they look great.
