    Hasn't the Pope accepted a free Ferrari in the past from the Factory?

    Since he is infallible, it must be OK to own one.

    That's about the stupidest question I've seen yet. Why single out a particular make of car. Just ask, "Is materialisim a sin?"...Answer YES!

    The pope himself is not infallible. His statements are infallible only in certain instances when he speaks "ex cathedra".

    Materialism is a tricky word to define. Owning a car isn't wrong. The car 'owning you', so to speak, is.

    Only Ferrari-related sins that I know of are chroming your wheels and sticking a spoiler on the back...

    Having been raised "South'n Bap-tist" (Now recovered, thankyou very much. Just earned my Conscious and Sentient 20-year pin.), if it makes you smile, makes you want to smile, or even makes you think of smiling, it's a sin.

    If anything material, especially if it has any worth, triggers any of the above feelings, it should be surrendered to the church, since the unquestionable holiness of an organised cult, er, religion, is for the grace of.......blah blah blah....
    .........So obviously evidenced by the miniscule amount of assets controlled and/or owned by the vatican and others.

    I'm fine with it being a sin, according to someone whose blessing and approval I no longer care about.

    It was a sin to blight this holy thread with that abomination.

    Intolerable. Say 10 Hail Enzos and we'll let you back amongst the flock.

    Well, that's the end of it. Might as well put the mailbox on eBay. :(

    Yes, it's a very serious sin.

    So I suggest you immediately turn over your F430 Spiders to those of us who are beyond help.

    Hail, Enzo, full of grease
    the bores (and strokes!) are with thee
    blessed are thou amongst builders
    and blessed is the fruit of thy womb [insert preferred model here]
    Holy Enzo, father of rosso corsa
    pray for us gearheads now and at the hour of our inevitable speeding ticket.
    Amen

    That was beautiful. We should start off the Fchat awards with a prayer like that....

    And I might add all you have to do is go to confessional...
