Apple introduced the long awaited iPhone yesterday. I have to admit that as I saw read the report coming through as it was announced I wasn’t impressed. That’s not to say that I was disappointed, everything that I heard was on target, however, I was expecting a amazing leap.
Of course that was until I checked out the iPhone demos on apple.com. On second thought this is an amazing leap. This is truly iPod version 2, with a whole lot of other great stuff piled in there too.

I’m not a huge fan of ferrets. When I first met Cara she had a ferret (Mimi), who was sick and slowly dying. At that point I didn’t understand the joys or pains of owning a ferret. Unfortunately Mimi died, and life went on. Then one day during Cara’s internship she adopted a ferret that the owners were going to euthanize (because they couldn’t afford to have the surgery that he needed).
I learned the joys of ferret ownership then. Ferrets are like cats on crack when they’re young, they don’t sit still and are constantly trying to explore. When they’re in a playful mood they jump around, and are generally pretty cute. Of course I learned the pains of ferret ownership too. You can’t let ferrets run free, so you have to confine them to a cage, and when you let them out, you have to confine them to a space. Ferrets stink. It’s a stink that you can learn to like (it’s a very musky odor), but even worse, ferrets are not litter trained. They like to poop in corners, but rarely do you only have four corners in a room.

Since the day that I discovered an Esprit could be bought for under $20,000 I’ve been interested in other affordable exotics. I’ve decided to start a list of other exotic and rare cars that can be considered affordable.
To make the list:
- You should be able to buy a running vehicle for under $25k.
- The car has to have a certain intrinsic rarity. (This is a bit of a judgement call, but in my opinion something like a Porsche 944 doesn’t qualify).
