This is just too weird.  Okay everybody, get out your pet theory about what 
a car says about the man who owns it.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) - Perhaps Dr. Phil wants to slow down a little. Two 
exotic sports cars owned by TV psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw will be sold at 
a Palm Beach collector car auction.

A 2002 Ferrari 360 Spider and a 2001 Gemballa Porsche Turbo owned by McGraw, 
better known as "Dr. Phil," will go up for sale at the Barrett-Jackson 
auction company's Palm Beach Auction which runs from March 30 to April 1.

McGraw purchased the Ferrari after learning that his television show would 
be aired nationally, according to a Barrett-Jackson announcement. The car 
has titanium paint, chrome wheels and a blue convertible top with matching 
interior. It is powered by a 395-horsepower V8 engine.

The black Porsche is a 911 Turbo modified by Gemballa, a German company 
specializing in creating modified versions of Porsche cars. It has a 
415-horsepower 6-cylinder engine and upgraded performance suspension.

"I give Dr. Phil kudos for picking a couple of studs for his corral," said 
Steve Davis, senior executive vice president of the auction company.
