M3 - great everyday car IMHO. Good looks. Ample power for everyday driving, but lack low end torque. I might snap on ESS vt2 soon. Also, very comfortable and easy driving car.
997.2tt - Enormous power when boost kicks in. I think tt is a great "compromise" before going exotic. Not too flashy as an exotic, but still get stares and thumbs up. Only complaint is that since it is a turbo car, the power delivery is not linear as f430. During normal driving, the car feels like a "normal" car. But when you hit the throttle and boost kicks in, jet thrust like power come at you. It's like there is no in between. Either all or nothing.
F430 - Only had it couple days so.... It is extremely fun to drive. You feel like you're driving a race car. I've never felt this on any car that i've owned. This is my first Ferrari. You can feel power in every gears. When i first drove my car other day, I said to myself, " wow, this is why people buy F cars." Simply put, nothing like it. Blast to drive. The sound alone mesmerizes you. Downside -- too much attention grabbing. Not too practical as an everyday car. Interior could be a lot better. My m3 beats them all in interior department.
Hope this helps

Nothing too exciting about Hawaii. I miss mainland. You guys are the lucky ones. The open roads and freedom of mainland. ah.... The beach and island life gets old quickly. Unfortunately, for now i'm stuck here.

Those casino's are very tight with their money! I don't think I've ever walked out with money before!

Ahhh, the fun begins after the break in. Take the TT past 5,000 RPM and it sounds amazing even with the stock exhaust. Of course, there is nothing like the Ferrari scream at high revs. Two different animals, but both awesome in their own way. Enjoy them both!

Yesterday my friend and i we took both tt and f430 out. From a stand still and up to 70 miles/hr (which i'm limited up to 5k in tt due to break in), the TT definitely shot ahead of f430. Once again I realized this new pdk tt is awesome! So much brute power. TT feels like a sling shot.
