On that note, I was going up the highway in my Jeep (Wrangler) doing about 65 when I noticed that a silver Audi A4 was coming up on me at about 75 so I moved over to the middle lane to let them pass. When the car pulled up next to me I realized it was filled with 5 really hot girls all about my age (17-18). I made I contact with one of them and then they continued on their way. All I could think about was how much I wish I had the Ferrari ('85 308GTSqv)at a time like this. Dang, hopefully that'll happen again but I'll be in a certain little red car instead.
Later,

Without a doubt I have the most fun with my 328 GTS during the summer, on the highway with the top off. Most people will smile or wave. I've even had women blow me a kiss. Which brings me to my next point....Leave the wife behind. (It's nice to pretend that your single, every now and then)
In general I agree with all the previous posts: There are usually three types of individuals
1. The Ferrari Fan (50-65%)
2. The Apathetic (25-30%)
3. The Rednecks (~5%) |

Hello, my name is Armand.
I'm from Amsterdam ,Holland.
I collect Ferrari-models for already 13 years, i've got about 200 models at home. I also have the "il cavallino rampante" (Ferrari-horse) on my rightshoulder (tattoo). I work as a manager of a Shell-petrolstation in Holland. And as you know, Shell is the biggest sponsor in the Ferrari-racing. 2 years ago, my boss had a present for me, they rented a airplane and we went to Maranello, where we visited the Ferrari-Factory. We stayed for 2 days, the second day we went to the Fiorano test-circuit. The press was also there. And i was allowed to drive with testdriver Luca Badoer in the 550 Maranello for 6 whole rounds at the Fiorano-Circuit. Our topspeed was 190mp/h, it was enormous. Those where the most beautiful 2 days in my entire life. If you want to discuss something with me, you may contact me.
Happy newyear! |

There are only three kinds of responses 1.the thumbs up-people who like your car and know what it is 2. the people who don't have a clue what it is and could care less 3.and unfortunately the third are people who are jealous and would just as soon key it thinking you have money to burn! |

Well, 99% of reactions are positive. The 1% are the occasional red neck pick-up driver that might be a little jealous. You always catch people staring and a few people roll their window down to talk. When getting gas or in parking lots I get many people stopping to ask questions. A few people are knowledgeable, but most don't know that it is a Ferrari or what year it is. I think that says a lot about how timeless the design is and that it truly is a special car. They like it because it looks and sounds great, not even knowing it has the Ferrari name on it and it's 15 years old. |
