Absolutely CRAZY!!!
Ok, so what else is there to own?
A jet, a yacht? (so you probably already have one of each)
You probably own most of Tennessee.
Lucky, lucky guy...
But, are you really happy?
(ok, so you probably are really happy)
IMPRESSIVE!!!
I love all your cars!
I can't imagine what the insurance alone would cost on all these cars.
All I can say, is enjoy them all!!!
I am curious to know your honest thoughts comparing the 997 turbo with the lambo and the F430. I drive my 997 Turbo daily but I have never even ridden in a lambo or an F430.
Damn nice cars and nice home!
Good luck with the mods.

Thanks,
I do enjoy my cars, they are my hobby and passion, thats why I spend a lot of money on them. 997 Turbo is much more of a daily driver than the F430 or the Gallardo. They sound amazing but the attention they get around here is borderline annoying. There is also a lot more room inside of the tubo. The turbo gets some attention, but u can blend in a lot better. I am looking to trade my F430 for a Bentley CGT Speed.

Aaron,
Keep me informed on how you come out on the mods. I live in Brentwood as well and have an '08 turbo which I have done an exhaust but am thinking on going further. By the way nice rides. I also have an 09 ml63. Have you done anything to your ml?

Glad you got a chance to meet Tym and David! David is like a big brother to me and Tym is the only guy I have work on my rides. I was trying to make it out there today but to much work. I would love to hear an in depth comparison of the Sledgehammer and how it compares to your Heffner Gallardo.
Cheers

As for the Heffner G in comparison to the Sledgehammer, they are very different animals. The acceleration is similar in both cars, but the power delivery is much different. The Gallardo is a much louder, smaller, less comfortable, and more exotic. The Sledgehammer on the other hand, is more refined, classier looking, more of a daily driver. You can talk on your cell phone or have a conversation as the exhaust isnt too loud when cruising around. When you step on it, you can hear it sing, albeit about 1/3 as loud as the Gallardo. Both cars make your heart race and your neck snap. Both platforms seem very eager to handle 1000+ hp at the crank, and are very stable at high speeds. The great thing about the 2 cars is even with all the power, the engine does not seem to be as taxed as you would expect.

Rep Power: 47 My ML is white just like my TT. I have only had the ML for a couple of weeks and haven't done anything to it yet. I spoke to the tech @ MB Nashville which is doing Kleeman stuff and may let him do some things. Sorry to hijack the thread. Keep us informed on what you do with Switzer. May want to take a ride if you don't mind.
Thanks,
T.

That was me. One of my stores is in that shopping center. I saw your ride parked there and was admiring it. Always looking for reasons to get the rides out and go for a spin. Would love to see your stable. It is always nice to show the wife there are others who blow more money than me

Thats too bad you couldnt make it, would have loved to meet you as well. Tym and David are great guys, and I enjoyed my short visit a lot.
