Actually I was thinking for you.
I balanced my checkbook last night and damned if I'm not just $57k short.

I know, I know, I know it's a red f-ing Ferrari. I know how cliche it is, I know how despicable the Ferrari crowd is, the very origin of douchebaggery but my God it's a V-12, proper gear box, and it's just had an $8k service done to it. It does list a minor accident (headlight and front bumper) and some may be put off by the mileage (60k) and I notice the glove box looks a little wonky but otherwise, for under $60k, I honestly don't think you could ask for much more for so little.

In 2006 the regular CCX would run you like $695k (going from memory) and back then the car had like 800hp but the cool thing was that you could get it in a good old fashioned stick shift. The one pictured above has the flappy paddle gear box.
There's a still brand new 2008 CCXR (with a real stick) for sale here.
This particular one is stunning but the price isn't listed.

Jay Leno discusses the Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita on his website and he chats with Christian Koenigsegg about this special edition car. Linkage
TREVITA
"The Trevita was limited to only three cars hence the name Trevita, which means Three white in Swedish. The Trevita features a koenigsegg proprietary glittering silvery white carbon composite fabric. Apart from the unique composte material and the partially painted wheels it has the specification as the Special Edition CCXR." - source for text was www.koenigsegg.com
"CCX is an abbreviation for Competition Coupé X; the X commemorating the 10th anniversary, (being the Roman numeral for ten) and the R means it can run on biofuel." - source for text was wiki.
As much horsepower as a Veyron, half the weight, sold in the states. Now where's my lotto ticket?

after experiencing the CGT Im deffently down for light weight, bare bones, raw, brutal, CF tub cars all the way.
Does anyone know anybody with an F40 I can talk to? See there car perphaps?
Maybe get a ride?? Possible swap rides if they are crazy enough??
The Diablos days are numbered one way or another.
Its like the NSX, abosultely amazing (though less perfect) but it just cant compete.
And if anyone see one for sale under 425k please let me know
Im no gonna pay that much, but its a reasonable point to haggle em down into reality

JamesList has one for $465k (asking, you could probably work $40k off I would imagine), it's in Dallas and it has 7,400 miles on it. I'm assuming it's legit and it's not out of date. I didn't call.

Thanks guys
So it seems like this is what I have to do:
1- go to Michigan, hand over the cash, get the title from them in the presence of a notary
2- leave the car in Michigan, go to Ohio, get the new title in my name and pay sales tax and register plates.
3- get insurance
4- go back to Michigan, this time drive the car back to Ohio and get it inspected
Seems like an awful lot of driving and I wouldn't to pay them and leave the car with them, title or no title.
OR. In step 1, can I get temporary plates from the Michigan BMV, and drive the car to Indy?

I'm pretty sure you're going to need proof of insurance in order to register the vehicle and get a plate. If it were me, I would just get the auto insurance first and get that out of the way. Your insurance agent can provide you with proof of insurance. Also, you can just go to the title holder's bank to get the title notarized, that's what I did last time I paid cash for a car out of state.

Sheehan Speaks

In early November 2008, I received multiple early morning phone calls and emails telling me that Lamborghini of Orange County had just closed its doors.
My first thought was how could the largest Lamborghini dealership in the world possibly go broke? My second thought was, why had it taken so long?

Nice little article, brief history on the Lambo and in particular its history in the US market and the downfall of its largest dealership here at the time.

I actually like the white exterior but I just don't like the balloon white interior at all. I think if it had the black leather interior with the white stitching it would work really well with the white exterior and look pretty sharp.
