You get one of those "Babes in bikinis with Ferraris" calendars and hate it because the girls are in the way. One of the first words your two-year-old son can say is (guess!?) Ferrari. Whenever you go to visit friends, you always maneuver the conversation to cars and especially Ferraris, even at a Pampered Chef party... | ||

You have so many pictures of Enzo on your wall your wife thought it was your dad when she first met you. And when you asked her out on a date the first question you asked is is your driveway paved. Your garage is black and has track lights pointing at the car. Every piece of clothing is Ferrari related. You start thinking that those gaudy cavallino's the hairy chested F-guys wear is appropriate. You have Ric rainbolt and Steve Magnusson's number on your speed dial. (just in case) You know every Ferrai parts guys first name in America. You will argue to the death on F-chat that your Dino is a true Ferrari! You do all your own work as you trust no one else with your baby. Every time you look at your car you find some new little flaw you never saw before. Every time you see a Ferrari go by you run down the street to check it out. When your Ferrari friends leave you stand in the street to hear them take off. You have a copy of Enzo's autobiography and Una Vita per l'Automobile. Yes and you think anything that cost less than a $1000 is a deal. You have spent more on parts and accessories for your car the it is worth. When Niki Lauda's melted ear once rubbed against you you at Monterey you feel deeply honored. And last because you were born on the same day Dino Ferrari passed you somehow feel that you are him reincarnated. :-) | ||

Your a$$ is the shape of the seat You've learned to gracefully enter and exit an Fcar even though your beer belly doesn't allow you to see your feet Your kids want you to drive them to school in the "Far Ree" so that the boys will talk to them You happily pump the most expensive gas into the Fcar as soon as it reads 1/2 full, but refuse to gas up the other cars until gas prices are 0.1c cheaper You refresh your FChat page every minute to see if there's something new posted You go clear across town to do buy a loaf of bread simply because the car has not warmed up yet, and 2nd cannot be engaged until then | ||

The puddle of oil in the drive way is deeper than your pool! You think paying $50 for a washer is reasonable (ask me how I know!) You search ebay every day under under headings like "Ferrari" "Pininfarina" and "308" You know that Pininfarina is not Sergio's real last name. You call drivers and crew members of the F1 team by their first name...as if you know them personally. You buy anything with the "Cavallino Rampante" on it, even if it looks cheesy. | ||

You are a Ferrari enthusiast if: You consider moving because your apartment's size is no longer condusive to your model collection. You buy a magazine just because it has a Ferrari on the cover. You buy car magazines just to look at the pictures. You car magazine collection is bigger than your, um, "other" magazine collection. You have a DVD or VHS of something pertaining to Ferraris, yet you don't own a TV or a DVD/VHS player. Your car (not a Ferrari) has Scuderia shields on it. Your FCA dues takes precedence over electric/grocery/credit card bills. You can spot a Ferrari from 10 blocks away, but have trouble identifying a car whose make and model matches yours, even if it's parked right next to you! You find yourself "air-shifting" and making "vroom, vroom" noises when you think about a specfic Ferrari for more than a few seconds. When you pull up to a red light and there are other cars around, you consider yourself, "on the grid". You know more about the ins and outs of a 1975 308 GTS engine/motor/transmission than your few-years-old daily beater. You have more pictures in your wallet of your Ferrari or Ferraris you want than your wife/girlfriend/kids/grandkids. You can spell Maranello/Competizione/Councours/along with any other Ferrari-related words and the last names of every Grand Prix driver who ever raced for Ferrari without a second thought but struggle with words like "beige". You can type "www.ferrarichat.com" quicker than you can type your own name. You look at clothes and, instead of seeing a red shirt, you see a Rosso Corsa shirt, and so on. Everytime you go into the liquor store and see a bottle of Pinot Grigio, you read what's not there and mumble to yourself: "Pinot Grigio Ingrid" and then catch yourself a second later and laugh. Everytime you hear the word "brakes" the first word that comes to mind is Brembo or every time you hear the word "tires" the first word that comes to mind is "PZero". When at the store, you'll buy the box of cereal for $5.50 as opposed to $2.99, because the price "550" is cooler. You think phone numbers whose exchanges are: 308, 328, 348, 355, 360, 456, 550, 575, etc. are cool and want one. Your priorities almost always involve FerrariChat. Your on a first name basis with Ferrari salespeople/mechanics and don't even own a Ferrari. Everyone in your neighborhood thinks you own a Ferrari and you don't. You've seriously considered putting a Tubi on your daily beater. i could go on and on, but there are too many other threads here that i need to see... | ||
