Oy, I'm still weak-kneed. Visited a friend today, whose husband took us on a tour of his garage. He has an original Shelby Cobra (once owned by Reggie Jackson) that he fired up, I swear I almost had an immediate big "O'... and another when he started his 700 hp Ford GT. In between the two cars was an Enzo. All I said was "berkeley me!" I think he realized it was supreme approval...

As your friend's husband, he took YOU on the garage tour - she's already seen it all.

His best appropriate response to the "berkeley me" statement would have been "You haven't seen "e36m3" until you drive them" and he opens up the key box.

Great way to spend the day - good friends, great cars and a bit of "excitement", too!

Jeesus, yah, I drove up in a 370Z press car, and was humbled. There were other Ferraris of various vintages as well. This was the first time I'd actually seen an Enzo in the flesh, so to speak. Nice folks though, they're the kind that deserve to own cars like that.

LOL! I tell ya.. after six months of working straight nights at the paper, and a busy, busy free-lancing gig - that was the first time I had anything near approaching a tingle When I saw the Enzo, then heard the Cobra, I was ready to fall on the floor saying "Take me now!!"

I don't think you could have, since you'd obviously shot all your energy in the mental fantasy alone!
