Well, he started with just his own bank, but he has opened up a lot of branches. Now, with that money he has started up a lot of small businesses, and left people he trusts in charge of them. Every other day he checks up with them to see how they are doing. As a said before, he is a very busy guy. Sometimes he goes back and forth on 2 hour trips about 3-4 times in one day.

I've been in one and the first word that came to mind was omfg. lol people who work hard, deserve cars like that. Im driving a 2003 325ci coupe atm but im slightly getting up there hihih. Thanks for the pics that makes ppl envy.

thats what i was about to say also that RR phantom is a beauty.your uncle just got a hold of beauty and the beast

You need to realize that when you have that kind of money, it's just a car, nothing more. A good friend of mine lets me detail his ferrari modena once a month. The deal is, I get to keep the car for the whole weekend. He could give a **** less what I do with it, as long as it comes back clean and waxed. My girlfriend and I drive it all over the place. It's pretty cool because everyone double takes when they see a 20 year old kid driving a $175k car. If he's really that wealthy, and the kid isn't wreckless, he really shouldn't care if the kid drives it IMO.

I was just there about a month ago, and that is an awsome dealer, actually, that is an awsome hotel all around.

your right because life changes if you have tons of cash, I think people are much more easy going. I can't say for sure since I'm always broke not really

Have you taken you Uncle for a drive in the EVO or let him drive it?

Maybe if he can feel the power for himself he might get hooked and buy another car. This time to race and tinker with.

Then once he starts buying parts you can ask him about them with a hint at getting one for you too.

There....that's a plan!!!

Kudos to your atitude, you really do deserve to be driving an evo at a young age.

I honestly don't think driving the F430 will be a big deal to your uncle, so be sure to drive her hard.

It's funny because some of the people that were on the waiting list for the 360 were so far back on that list that Ferrari had to add them first on the list for the f430 thats how rediculous those waiting lists can be for Ferrari's. The F430 is one sick *** ferrari. I'd have the F430 as my fun car and the 612 scaglietti as my daily driver =P and my evo for off road and then another evo for drag racing haha i love dreaming
