    I don't know what 'subscribe' even means. Do you get something extra for that? Of course, it's also hard for me to equate 'American' with 'Las Vegas.'

    You're right. 'Petty' was a bad descriptive. I was annoyed and I went overboard.

    I do have a car that Bruce and Mark drove pretty well 45 years ago and I have to say I enjoyed talking to McLaren at Pebble.

    You never know.

    Ryalex is my lawyer so I wouldn't talk too loud.

    I took Mr. and Mrs Joker to Terrance Point a few weeks ago for lunch. They are both lawyers too. Mrs. Joker is a veggie-terrian. :)

    I have to thank Steve Wynn for picking up the tab that day. Prince Harry stopped by and took this picture. He's such a great guy. Girl's just can't get enough of that accent. Just another day in Vegas....

    New car = next week. You and Ryalex are welcome to a test drive but I think you should go first. There may be not much of a car left after Ryalex gets behind the wheel. :)

    My God, you and Mark, just listen to yourselves! Do either of you have any idea how exclusive and foolish you sound? People who just read this site must be laughing their heads off at you.

    You are correct. In Las Vegas, the hookers are more difficult to find than than in New Orleans so I can understand your confusion.



    It's a joke! :)

    You do have an irrepressible sense of humor. That is really nice, one rarely finds it. Thanks, and I am not being sarcastic. Bill Grady

    Bill, I'm happy you get it. It's all just some fun. Don't take us too seriously. :)

    I am sure I came off too strident, and sorry for that. It is just that my perception is that in my locale the new buyer does not get a new F car at MSRP. Can't blame the dealer, as they have either repeat business presumably getting MSRP or other new guys paying over. Why give me a better deal if you don't have enough inventory to supply the loyal and the more eager new customer. I don't think I can say please order me a new 458 at MSRP and the car actually arrive. I suppose I could try again sometime.

    Ok, if you like I'll repharse it.

    The hookers in New Orleans are better looking so I can see your confusion! :)


    There... better?

    Hmm, I just noticed you have 28,000 posts on Ferrarichat. Trust me, I'll not take you too seriously.
    I guess we should cease hijacking the forum or whatever it is and let some some other guys bloviate on how they got abused at their local Ferrari dealers while wearing fine Breguet chronographs.

    Am I what? An owner? No.
    Looking back, I was out of line talking about a system I've only read about and not had first hand experience. Sorry for that.
    Not sure what I did. If it was because I was saying "mr mayor," that's my bad. I simply got mixed up and said "mr" instead of "the"

    And if you're embarrassed by this, please don't open the thread about the NYC cop and any of the countless other threads that reflect poorly on Americans

    Yeah, it's only fun when you get something going like this. The Mayor is very game, most appreciated.

    Yeah, it was because you were saying Mr. Mayor. Take that back, and you're a full fledged American.

    Hi Bob,
    I'll take you up on the offer.
    I'm having Ryalex take a spin in my 575M this Friday.

    Back to the subject of the post, back in the day Ferrari of Los Gatos was the bomb. I bought my first new Ferrari there for MSRP. They went out of their way to find me my 1998 355 F1 GTS in Rosso Corsa with a Nero interior. It was my fourth Ferrari. To bad they were bought out by Symbolic from La Jolla and lost their dealership shortly after.
    Cheers,
    Marc

    Exactly. That's the problem.
