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.
