I'll be screwed in the winter since I'm going to stay in Indiana or Ohio the rest of my life

I liked the DB9 until it was on desperate housewives (don't ask how I knew that)

With me driving, All things go BOOM on the track! Also, we used to use a lightning to tow trailers all the time back when I was racing. They're fine for towing as long as you don't go crazy with your trailer.

Palmer,
Certain year 355 Challenge cars did not have titles, thus no deal at the BMV. I know 1995 cars DID have titles, not sure if you car register that 96. But be sure to paint it before you're seen in it.
Indiana is pretty generous on registrations though, allowing assembled units with not much more that the police issuing a Vin, so maybe you car register your Ferrari as a kit car!

1 LP400s low body Countach
2 Muria
3 F40
4 250 GTO with race history
5 288 GTO with delivery miles
6 63 Z06 big tank Corvette with race history
7 Porsche 962 LeMans race car
8 Still trying to narrow down my wish list for 8
9 " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " 9
10 Long wheelbase Peterbuilt with 53' stacker race car trailer to pull it all around.

I have heard a lot of people could register their 355CH's but they choose not to as the suspension and ride is horrible.

Oh well.

355CH on 62 or 135 would be godly.

Palmer...what SMS said. Nissan Skylines are not street legal in the US. To avoid having to do all the safety upgrades and associated expense, some people import the cars and engines seperate, then register as a 'kit car". Helps get around the laws. Still can be tough if you go up against a hardcase. Can save you some $40k in having to upgrade. Heck, if they register an Ariel Atom, why not a Skyline?
