Stephen: That was a great story. You have exactly the right attitude. A big part of having these cars is sharing the fun. All Ferrari owners should be like you. Continue to enjoy..and share..the dream! | ||

That is a great story and a super road for your drive. We did that drive several years ago in our TR and what a blast! We pulled over at a overlook, a lot like you did, to take pictures and had a nice chat with a couple who had never seen a Ferrari and just wanted to take some pictures of our car. Days like that don't get much better. Enjoy your car. | ||

Several weeks ago, I was able to fly one of my best friends up from Florida to visit me in Asheville. James and I have been best friends since the 8th grade. Anyway, when we were kids, all we did was talk about Ferrari's, and dreamed of one day owning a Ferrari dealership named Thompson-Lee Ferrari. Well, that hasn't happened yet, but at least one of us finally bought a Ferrari! It was great fun having James here for the weekend. We washed and waxed the car before driving all day on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Yes, I let him drive the entire day! It was truly a dream come true for the both of us, and made my Ferrari ownership experience complete. Sharing the thrill of Ferrari is what owning these toys is all about!     |
