Beautiful Day For A Beautiful Drive

So, the sun is out in San Francisco...the sun livens my spirit, and I get the "need for speed." I decided to saddle up Madellena (my Ferrari 328 GTS) for a quick Milk Run through San Francisco, 5-September-07.

We had lots of fun driving through the Broadway Tunnel -- man, I love her voice! We then drove through Northbeach and Chestnut Street. I decided to drive up to Union Street, and...well...the picture below says it all. Damn those hot blondes in their summer dresses -- getting me all hot and bothered while I'm drivin'!

San Francisco Police Department still rocks -- they are the best, and I have no complaints about them -- the SFPD officer, citing me, was really cool and chuckled at me, while people were taking pictures. He asked, "Does this happen all the time?" I responded, "What...the pictures or the tickets?"

Pedestrian, James Tolley, with his baby across the street, called for my attention as he snapped away -- a few other pedestrians and driver-bys were snapping away on their camera phones -- I busted up! ;-)

Hell, it didn't bring me down, because I'm driving a Ferrari on a beautiful sunny San Francisco day -- it takes a lot more than a ticket to get me down when the sun is out in San Francisco! ;-)

I always tell people to Check 6, which is a Fighter Pilot's term to watch your back for bogeys. I was checkin' 2, which was the direction of this hot blonde chick in a summer dress, and I was showin' off. I didn't Check 6 on this one, and I got nailed -- car looks good -- yes?

Check 6.

That's a cool pic Alfonso. That's the right attitude. You're a driving a Ferrari and he's on his moto having to work in that cop suit. LOL Classic. Gees, it's that sunny in SF. I'll be there in the city tonight.

 

Thanks, Drew. Great to have met you last weekend. Now, I have a face with the call sign. Have fun in the city tonight. Yes, it's hot -- my kind of weather. Drive safe and check 6.

Great picture and yes, the car looks awesome.

 

Hey Alfonso, I guess it's a bad idea to check 2 when the cop behind you is checking 12.

See, you should have been at BMC checking over your new Lamborghini.

 

well as much as i hate to say this since you got a ticket, but that is one great photo. the art deco backdrop of the "Palmetto" sign is perfect.

That is a great attitude to have....

Cheers !!

 

Thanks, acuransx2000 -- be careful -- you're car is on the hot-list, too, for a day like today. ;-)

Check 6.

Hi, RedBarchetta.

Yes, I really love the Palmetto art deco backdrop. I still laugh at this whole incident. It's so funny to me!

 

Yes, you are so correct -- he was checking 12, and I was at 2. What a friggin' mess?! I should have gone to BMC to talk with SuperVixen about that Lambo. ;-)

Be careful if you drive today -- Lambos are on the special menu today. ;-)

Check 6.

it's like Ponch meets Magnum P.I.

 

Yeah, but Magnum and Ponch get the girls...Alfonso Faustino gets the ticket -- where's the similarity? ;-)

 

I love this thread. Great attitude Alfonso.
You are so correct, great day to drive a Ferrari, I have gone over 125 miles just today in the 360 and I am not done yet!!
Be careful out there kids the bogeys are everywhere with there new lidar guns, saw at least four of them!!

 

Well at least you're half way there bud.

 

Great attitude, Alfonso! And the pic is definitely worth framing!! Maybe itz|kirb can p-shop a couple of itz|girlz in there for ya

 

Hi, FinancialMan.

Thanks for the LIDAR heads-up; that's great that you are driving both the 360 and 355 -- great day and place to be in an exotic car. I will see you at Check Point Charlie on Friday, 7-September-07, for lunch.

Check 6.

Hi, Blu328GTS.

How are things?

Good one -- very funny about p-shop Kirby's girls in the picture. I'm looking forward to see you soon -- maybe the next Milk Run -- yes?

Check 6.

 

Alfonso,

Franky

 

Sorry about the ticket Alfonso. I am waiting for photos of the blonde you were checking out She better be worth it!

Yes, beautiful day today, and it should last for a few more days! Traffic school?

 

+1

 

LOL Alfonso Great attitude, priceless picture!

 

+1

 

Multiple system go-lives @ work over the past couple of weeks do NOT define my idea of fun

Next Milk Run? Definitely looking forward to it, Alfonso!!!

 

Did the cop act like ****** when he saw you waving to your friends?

 

Hi, FrankyFerrari!

I enjoyed meeting you and your F430 last weekend and having lunch with you at Alice's. You are a pretty funny guy, and it's always good for me to bust a gut through laughing -- I don't get a chance to laugh all that much at work -- you know the way it is...being in the same industry and all.

Working out the details for the next SF Exotic Car Dinner and SF Milk Run. I will keep you posted, and I hope to see you before then.

Check 6.

Hi, phdev.

The SFPD officer was really cool. Like I mentioned in this thread, all my experiences, thus far, with SFPD, have been positive -- whether I've been against them, like the picture herein, or with them -- like the past SF Exotic Dinner and SF Milk Run I had in August 2007. They have always been friendly and cordial with me -- regardless of the infraction/violation.

Check 6.
