    Looking for that infamous pic of the guy wearing Ferrari gear head to toe, including the bright red ferrari shorts and socks, with his arms crossed, wondering why no woman wanted to accompany him to whatever event he was attending.

    Ive seen the same thing with Nike, Independent Trucks, and Fox. The skaters call it "overlogoed"

    reaper of cars . . . IIRC - it was Mako who coined the term - not the ever effete Ellen.

    Gunna buy the spiffy belt, shorts & socks?

    You can't mix Rosso Corso and Rosso Scuderia. It's nasty.

    I think there should be a rule of thumb.... only one item of clothing advertising the Ferrari logo may be worn at any given time.

    Some items just don't need a prancing horse. What's next, gangsta style "saggers" with the rosso corsa boxer short waistband with little scudettos showing over the top? Ferrari socks? Gedouttahere!

    I do think Ferrari jackets are kind of cool, though.

    Your rule should be tougher: Ferrari hat or jacket or shoes, never more than one at a time. Cavallino socks, shorts, boxers, belts, earrings, and pendants-on-guys - never.

    Haha, I love the shirt styled like Schumacher's helmet. That's absurd.

    Mr. Chinetti gave it to me when I as a kid. I do enjoy wearing it on special occasions.

    Sometimes even wearing the same colors can be too much. :)

    John- I call that getting even, ok. Robert probably either 1) died laughing or 2) died of a hissy fit.

    I was explaining to some of the 360 guys who were badmouthing F1 shifters that theirs were not real Ferraris because they did not have Weber carburetors or a steel tube spaceframe. Not sure how well they took it. Have to look in later. Wondered how they would like the name Dino 360, too.

    Having had three carbureted Ferraris, I feel I almost qualify as one of the fold. Unfortunately I cannot now afford two of the ones I owned.

    I saw the same type "guy" at a dealership about 3 weeks ago. 50ish guy, mustache, red ferrari cap, shirt, red shorts, driving shoes and ferrari watch. Walking around talking very loudly about picking up his car from is service all over the showroom. Was really kinda funny and sad. Dude, youre IN the ferrari dealership, relax a little. Even my 9 year old asked me why is that guy dressed like that.
