    Let's see: car...or coin? Car or coin. Hmmm. Tough choice. She did well! Happy birthday, belated today.

    Happy birthday, James.

    Personally, I'd much rather have the coin. Just getting an oil change on a Ferrari probably costs a fortune.

    Thank you Justin. I do admit that I am captivated by the Italian flair and panache that they seem to incorporate into so many things they produce: racing cars, racing bicycles, motorcycles, musical instruments, furniture, etc. But the coin is indeed dear to my heart.

    Yes @Stevearino a difficult choice - but the coin won out in the end. My friend who owns the Ferrari set the stage by serving me coffee in one of his personalized mugs:
