Who owns a Ferrari?

    Is there anyone here who out of their online earnings only (NOT e-commerce or selling products, I mean adsense etc) has managed to earn enough to buy a Ferrari/Lamborghini/other $200,000+ sports car?

    I constantly fantasise that I will oneday be able to afford to comfortably buy my dream car, although I have deep doubts in the back of my mind that this is possible solely off adsense/other online earnings...

    When i see someone driving a shiny new Ferrari, I automatically think they are a doctor, lawyer, property investor etc.
    Is it possible some of these people are in fact just internet nerds earning a ton off their websites? :D

    I need some hope, has anyone here spent this much on a car thanks to their websites earnings?
    :)

    I don't personally know anyone that has bought a $200,000 car, but I know a ton of users here could if they wanted to. :)

    I wish Ferrari would rip off Mercedes' idea and make their 430 Spider a hardtop convertible like the 500SL does it. I hate soft top convertibles.

    OK, so what do I have to do to become a mod?:D

    Just kiddin', obviously!:)

    I just saw the Ferrari - Maserati dealership at the Wynn in Las Vegas, but I haven't seen many around, I wonder why...maybe nobody wins at the casinos?:eek:

    I want to think that the fake green grass outside means that the cars are fake too, so I'm not sorry I can't even think of walking in!:)

    I really love the Mercedes AMG cars. The one worth around 400K would be my 2nd choice behind a Ferrari...

    Im a dreamer though.. I mean I have 10 content sites which I update everyday and Im not even 1/1000th on the way to ever having that kind of money.
    What is a person to do?

    I would put an Aston Martin ahead of a Ferrari if I had $200,000+ to spend on a car.

    True dat... but $200k will "only" buy you a DB9. It won't buy you a Vanquish. :)

    Meh.. Aston's are nice, but they dont do anything for me looks-wise.
    A Ferrari is the true supercar... I guess its the Italian in me :D

    If we are going to get a Ferrari for moderators, we might as well do it right and just get an Enzo.

    Yeah definetely an Aston Martin ahead of most, not only Ferraris.

    Only, if it's an impression on girls yuo want to make, Ferrari works out better, of course we are talking about girls...:)

    Maybe leaving the price tag on an Aston Martin could help...;)

    Just kiddin' girls, just kiddin'...

    Girls are not all the same, and not all blonde!:)

    I might add I am female uca, so I dont want a nice car to make an impression on girls :p
    I want one because the sound of a supercar just gets my heart pumping..

    I'm not blonde, and I love cars and am pretty mechanically minded too.. so yes, we aren't all the same ;)

    They are Rob, I love Mercs
    I love the shape of those new ones

    Is that a V8? I've found the newer V8 engines they are putting in alot of the cars to sound rather boring, much like a regular family V8 car, rather than a sports car.
    I know the higher end Merc's don't have this issue though.
