FERRARI- THE ANTI-DEPRESSANT

The Ferrari definitely lifts your spirit while driving. I understand what you are saying. You may also want to get a saltwater aquarium setup in your office as this has been shown to lower your blood pressure by about 20%. After a bad phone call or meeting you can look at the fish and other creatures in the tank for 5 - 10 minutes and the problem seems to go away.

 

Fantastic are they not? When I am in mine I forget about everything else. I will never sell this car but only to replace it with another. I believe I will always own a Ferrari from now on

 

Teddy, don't forget about all your Ferrari brothers that are here for you too !

One of the best things I have found in ferrari owernship is the friends I have made.

 

Well said.

And good luck with everything Teddy. Hope it works out.

 

Yes. Glad the car is helping. Time heals all, as well.

 

Teddy:
I share your opinion. At least you have driven your car. Mine is in a truck somewhere in the USA making its way from southern California to southern Florida.

When it gets here, it will go in the shop for a week for its major service. And then due to the summer heat, and the barely acceptable A/C of a Boxer, I will probably only drive it in the evening.

I found out a long time ago that an adreneline car can boost your spirits. First my 3 deuce 427 Stingray, then a new Pantera, and then a Porsche turbo with adjustable boost. The adjustable boost was a charm.

Unlike you, I would give up my car for a woman that will never suffer from depression or menopause, who is 100% committed to a relationship, that has her emotions in check, and likes to procreate like a mink.

I guess I will have my car for a long time.

 

i too am going through a rough patch and also find the ferrari to be a salve for my emotions. its a wonderful feeling. keep your chin up, this too shall pass.....

 

Yupper, they're fun cars, to be sure.

Just cars, though. I sure hope you get through your rought spot, man.

Just remember, things may stay bad for a while, but they always get better.

 

I was going through a shty divorce, and looked on ebay one day with the intent on purchasing a 66 Shelby, but at the last moment thought, let me look at the Ferraires. Saw one, flew to San Diago, from the moment I saw and heard it, I knew this was the car for me. In two years, over 31,000 miles in two cars. I am now on my secound. It's been great....

 

Hey Ted, down get to down on yourself. Don't get to hung up on the fish that got away. Throw the hook back out and catch another one, or two, or three, or four, or.....................the heck with it, get a net and then toss back the ones that aren't keepers.

LOL.

 

Hey Ted, completely understand how you feel. I am going through a split following a divorce. Menopause and manic depression are a terrible mix. Everythig happens for a reason. This may be hard to understand at this time, but your future had a different direction then what you think you wanted right now.

The Queen is yet to come. So you will have your Ferrari and your queen, just start looking forward. Worked for me, should work for you.

Buy another Ferrari.

 

Don't fret it; it's obvious she wasn't really the right one for you.

I've been there, I know.

The quicker you put her out of your mind, the sooner a new one will come along.

A some point, you'll look back and wonder, why the loss of the other one caused you such pain.

 

Ahhhh, very wise words. Keep yourself busy and the pain will fade.

Good luck!

 

Thats very true. I see from your profile you are an entreprenuer. Thats the best job to have in this situation, as I would imagine its your passion and therefore throwing yourself into your work is actually quite fun for you? Either way keeping busy is definately the key, and knowing that there are many, many more fish in the sea . Take care.

 

i also went out with someone for 6 years....we very close...she pressured me on and off about marriage...finally gave me an ultimatum, got a job in another city, but we got back together and started dating long distance and we even became engaged...but i still was scared to death about marriage...but we set a date 8 months away...i quess she sensed how nervous i was the marriage, because she meet another guy and dumped me and married him 1 month after our wedding date!!!! i was blown away....and i didnt have a ferrari to help me thru things,,i had a vette....didnt help as much as a f car...but anyway, after a rough year, i slowly started feel better and soon i was dating and having the time of my life, and 8 years later now i am glad i didnt marry her...if she was the right one for me i would have gotten married to her long ago with out a gun to my head....i think i n the long run you will be happier for this...its just hard to see now...there are literally millions of great woman out there waiting to meet a great guys like us f chat members!!!!

 

I also have many stressors, almost causing a feeling of anguish. I believe the F-car provides a truly euphoric feeling associated with the entire ownership. Of course driving is great but, hanging out with other enthusiasts is a good thing. Some would say it is just a hobby; no it is not just a hobby, it is a way of life. The ultimate high. Vroom Vroom...

It wasn't meant to be. Subconsciously you did not want her. Been there myself. I pity her new man. Taken on the rebound, marriage after six months...It is not him she wants, it's the ring. The queen is dead. Long live the queen.

Be well.

DD

 

I share that sentiment!

 

I've always had the same feeling about my motorcycle

who needs a shrink when can have a ride in a bike?

 

My Ferrari IS part of my "rough patch".

Otherwise, it does lift my spirits when I drive it.

 

"Single and Lonely" or "Married and Bored". Its a lose lose situation.

There is a reason why you didnt marry her; she would have taken your f-car and every single thing you have dreamed of (even your dreams themselves). Be happy and move on; as harsh as it sounds its the best advice you will get. Time will cure all your pain; you cant see the end now but you will look back and laugh one day...her loss.
