Dane,
You went from a Ferrari (oh, wait, 2 Ferraris) to seeking a Porsche and you settled on that old Volvo? I'm not knocking your car my friend, but I have seen you go from a young, married and in love, Army Officer living in Hawaii and driving a Ferrari to an old family man with a kid hanging out the rear window of the old Volvo in 2 short years.
Please don't take offense to this, I have the greatest respect for you. It amazes me, as I'm sure it does you, how quickly a person's lifestyle and priorites can change. I guess with your new career as a combat helicopter pilot you will get greater thrills than any Ferrari could ever give you. The Enzo is shit compared to what you are driving. I drive oil rigs and supertankers for a living. For me, 10 mph is a speed that requires my undivided attention. Man, what I wouldn't give to be able to have the skills and opportunity to strap on an Apache and make it do what it was designed for.
You're a lucky man Dane! When you come home you can take your wife and your son out for a relaxing drive in your Volvo.
