    A year ago today I concluded a six month search for my 2003 Grigio Alloy Spider. I sold my previous Ferrari, a Blu Sera Mondial t Cabriolet, just as the Internet was just getting started. (Thanks Al!)

    In this past year of ownership I have attended some fun car events (C&C's to Concours), met very interesting people and just enjoyed the fact that I don't have to mothball my Ferraris for the winter like I did back in NY. I don't call it a daily driver but its there any time I'm so motivated.

    I re-search daily for a similar car because its still fun to do and it make me feel like what I have is rare (my Unicorn) and that I bought it at the right point on the depreciation curve. Back in Business 101, I learned that is relieving my "cognative dissonance". So far I'm good, although a certain F430 keeps popping up that I almost bought. The delta is too large to make the jump at this point. I'm happy with what I have and I'm really not looking for anything "better".

    Life is Good!

    (For those with a close eye, yes, my bonnet is popped and it was raining!)
