    Thanks Mike! The only bad part about the experience is that after driving the Ferrari, my Jeep is no fun anymore! :D Oh and by the way, I'm VERY envious of you; the riding lawnmower...can't even begin to fathom how much of a thrill that was. DAAAMN! :D ;)

    Great story, and big thumbs up for Mike S.

    We need more of these people in the world hint hint ;)

    I had my first passanger drive in a 328GTS when I was 12 (now 23).

    Still my dream is to drive or have a passanger ride in a 355 :D

    SAME HERE! My first RIDE in a Ferrari was when I was 12. It was my cousin's red 328GTS!! Since then, I've ridden in the 328 GTS 3 times, the F430 once (not counting driving it) a Challenge Stradale (owned by our very own frefan), a red 512TR (owned by our very own oldcoin), a Lamborghini Gallardo (formerly owned by XSSSIVE) and his Maserati Granturismo S. :D

    Is Mike S. a catholic priest? Sounds like he might be grooming you :)

    But in all seriousness, i'm extremely impressed with his kindness.

    What an incredible act of goodwill by XSSSIVE. I'm also a local and would love to drop by anytime there is a gathering in the future! After graduate school, I'd love to add an F355 or 328 to the stable and do a Virginia City or Lake Tahoe run!

    LOL! As long as you wear protection. ;)

    Awesome!!! I bet that was a thrill! :)

    LMAO!!!!!! :D :D :p

    There is a Virginia City Hillclimb every September that has quite of few Ferraris. On May 1-2 in Sonoma, California at Infineon Raceway is the Ferrari Challenge. A group of us f-chatters will be attending and some are from Reno. :)
