    That's AWESOME!

    I had a quad bi-pass 4 years ago... about 3 months after taking possession of a brand new F430 spider.

    Every day I said I would get stronger to be able to one day just drive it around the block when with the top down.

    It took about 2 weeks after getting home but I did it. It hurt like hell but I enjoyed the 5 minute drive. A great day indeed!

    Keep on drivin' man!

    No stroke. Triple by-pass in 1996 when I was 51.

    Went for a 4 hour drive today with the top down. It was sunny but the temp ranged from 45F to 50F depending on altitude. I had a blast. No much traffic, only a couple of bicycles and no bugs. The Aspen police did follow me out out town but apparently couldn't find an excuse to pull me over.

    My mother had a stroke. Congrats on the perseverance of your recovery.

    Life is good.
    Life is better driving a Ferrari. :cool:

    truly inspirational stories guys. i was 22 when i was in a really bad car wreck (passenger). a lot of broken bones and pain, a full year of getting back into bodybuilding which i absolutely love, and of course even though I've only owned by car for nearly two years now I hope to be driving a ferrari until the day I die.
