    I was in an small Italian restaurant in Oakland, CA (Rockridge area) and they had our beloved Cavallino on a plate on the wall. I know this is a lousy picture, but our poor Ferrari logo is on the yellow dish with a red and green stripe around the perimeter of the plate - and they hung it horizontal instead of rearing up. I desperately wanted to speak to the manager and go fix it, but my wife quashed that idea.

    Thoughts? Should I have pointed it out, or not?!

    Yup, especially if you want to eat there again at some point.

    "The cup is twice as large as it needs to be" :D

    Maybe the owner just likes horses, rather than cars. ;)

    Your wife was right.

    But don't feel bad. As my wife likes to say: "A man's place is in the wrong!"

    I would have said something. After my food was served anyway, and in a nice way.

    They probably think it's a Mustang....lol.

    I would have said "Can I buy the yellow Unicorn plate for $2.00? I think I know an artist that can paint the missing horn back on."

    I probably woyld have used it as a conversation starter.

    "Glad to see you have a logo of my favorite car on the wall...the only time I have seen it at that angle is when it's on a hub cap. Very creative." LOL ;)

    Fcar owners have to be very careful not to appear overbearing or offensive. Better to make a friend with a compliment rather than an enemy with a critical comment IMVHO. ;)

    Since it's in the Italian restaurant, see they did that in purpose and that's how they sell their Italian Wine,
    the more you drink their wine the straighter the prancing horse get:D
