Some people drink at the well of knowledge, some only gargle.

What gargling?

Here's another recent post by NYG about CSX2000, being auctioned by the family of CS, for the first time ever:

That makes the decision easier for me. The 918!

Unfortunately, since it's "just any CSX2000", sadly, I wouldn't have any remaining funds to contribute to MHNCO's rehab bills.

I'm not necessarily a Porsche guy, but tried to learn about the 918 a little and learned some trivia about it...

Production began on Sept 18 (9/18)
Only 918 models were made, less than 300 shipped to the US market
And yes, starting price was also 918

Sorry, I'm sure a lot of you guys knew this stuff but I didn't.

The GT40 on the other hand is something I can actually buy and would provide me greater driving satisfaction. I cannot believe the length of this thread!
