Rich, you are an inspiration to all of us! Great video. I had my epiphany back in 2004 when when I was serving in the Middle East on active duty. After experiencing death and destruction, I came back and bought my first Ferrari! Now, I live life each and every day. Glad that you are doing the same! Look forward to seeing the California at the next Cars and Croissants!
Your insight and thoughts complete the picture. You may not Cha Cha as well as you used to, but to be alive today is a gift in itself. Take it one day at a time. Thanks for sharing...
What a great thread. Thanks to the generosity of Richard. A real Ferrari enthousiast! I just saw your video about the California. You seem like a very very nice and generous person. You are an inspiration to me to become successful so I can own so many Ferraris like you.
I read the whole thread and watched your video's. WOW! I must say that your success couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. You humbling attitude is so refreshing to see from someone who has as much as you do! I wish all the best for you in life, and hang in there with your disease since I think your strong, positive attitude has alot to do with it's slow progression. Where are you in Jersey? I am in NY, just north of the City.
Hey Richie, so you ended up getting the Cali after all! Congrats! (she looks gorgeous in that shade of blue, much nicer than the red demo.) I was in town for Thanksgiving and am now kicking myself for not asking to stop by to see her... Enjoy her in good health my friend (and say hi to "TAX DR-2" for me
Rich: Met you at a few of the Cars and Croissants events, just saw the video and want to echo everyone's comments on here about your generosity. Your comments touched a nerve as my mom battled Parkinson's for nearly 20 years until she passed late this summer. Keep up the fight, and keep on driving! Having a passion is one of the best therapy's out there. Hope to perhaps see you at the next Cars and Croissants. Joe
Thanks for the call the other day Rich, I appreciated it, especially after you probably think I'm crazy now, hahahahahahaha. Don't worry, I'm not, I promise. You're truly a great guy, Rich. Take care and have a happy holiday season if I don't see you sooner!!
Will be at Cavalino Jan 19 - 24. Shipping the Enzo to the event for display on Sat Jan 23 at the Breakers. Who is going and if you go please stop by on Sat during the Concorso to intro yourself and/or renew our friendship. The week is a lot of fun and you do not have to be there everyday to have a great time.
Anyone who says a passion for something that's "just a car" like Ferrari is frivolous and superficial should be directed to this thread. Inspirational stuff. This is what it's all about. Goes to show that enjoying the finer things in life and keeping things in perspective are not mutually exclusive. Kudos!
Probably the best Fchat thread ever! Tax Dr is the ideal Ferrari owner. Love them and share them. I would like some pics of the California. My iPhone won't let me up load the video from a couple pages back. Never mind that's why I have the computer at home. Lol. Hats off Tax Dr!
GTFO!?! I cant tell you how jealous I am. I have yet to even see an enzo. I have always kinda dreamed that maybe one day I would meet a Ferrari owner generous enough to do just that with me, let me drive their Fcar (I know this would be the only way I'll ever drive one). And yet here you got to do just that, in an Enzo! I guess dreams really do come true for some. Great thread!
Enzo is in transit...I will arrive on the 19th...Enzo will be on display on the 23rd on the lawn of The Breakers Hotel, Palm Beach, FA...Looking forward to renewing friendships and making new friends during this fun filled week.
Well, as you very well know, if you need some company, I'll gladly tag along, hahahaha. I'm anxiously waiting for the year I can get down there, it will be great. Have an awesome time Rich, enjoy it!! I know you will! Forza Ferrari!!!
Enzo goes to their FA store (F of Ft L ) to be prep and then goes to Palm Beach ( a private residence) and waits for me.
Rich, How are you? I figured you were probably tired after a busy week at Cavallino, that's why I didn't call you this morning like you had said too (Sunday, 1/24). Hope you had a great time with the Enzo, I've seen various pics of the event and it looked absolutely amazing!! I'm dying to hear how it went, I can't imagine. Well, just give me a call whenever you're up to it or just let me know when to call. Grazie!! Ciao! Mark C.
