    At NSXPrime. It seems that a lot of NSXers dream about (and some own) Ferraris and lurk here now and then.

    Last time we had a thread like this, I said Google. This time I'll just say that I attempted to contact Enzo one night via a Ouija board and was redirected here instead.

    I have no recollection AT ALL of how I found Fchat.

    I'm guessing that it may have been a reference from an Alfa Bulletin board I frequent.

    I believe I was searching for maintenance information on a Ferrari 348. Most likely Google.

    I'm not positive, but I think I saw Rob's video of him racing the 355 or an RX8 and he tapped a Ferrari on the back bumper on the track. Correct me if I am wrong Rob!

    Was watching the Lance Armstrong Overhauling episode and I Googled the name of the shop that did the work on Lance's car. A link to the Texas section of FChat popped up and I've been hooked ever since.

    I used the Google Internet machine looking for a new clutch when I came across FerrariChat. :D:D

    Not only did I join the forum and got what I wanted.........I joined and have NEVER looked back! :p:p

    FerrariChat has ruined my relationship with my Fiance, wrecked my career at work, destroyed my sex life and CRUSHED my hopes and dreams!! :eek::eek:

    But I love each and everyone of you!! Thanks for making FerrariChat a great community and it will always hold a special place in my heart. :eek::eek:
