    So pretty cool day as I fly over Texas on my way to the Gulf Coast.

    Hitting the 10,000 mark with this post. And none of that was in P&R... :D

    Here are a couple Ferrari lists I will pass-on as my time capsule to look back in another 10k posts and another 15 years...

    Wishes and To Do List this Year
    Scuderia Ferrari to win another drivers and constructors F1 world championship
    Round out with two different Ferrari’s in my garage
    Roadtrip somewhere with epic scenery, family members, and the cameras
    Meet another 10 new f-chat members this year for some food and good spirited discussion and driving
    Learn a new skill working on our cars with my mechanic
    Head back for the annual visit to Maranello
    Set aside time to post all that Ferrari Challenge research and history on public forum

    What I learned along the way
    Lower mileage cream puffs really are cool, worth more, and what to look for - then YOU should just drive and enjoy, and discard any notion of “what it’s worth” or “putting too many miles on”...
    Engine outs are no big deal
    Straight line highways suck
    Air horns should be refitted to every Ferrari
    There are no boring Ferrari owners...
    There are really no bad Ferraris to own....
    It is likely EVERY Ferrari has had paint work
    Australian Ferrari owners take the medal on concours preparation on cars
    Pilots and aviation professionals are great Ferrari owners
    Canadian Ferrari Owners may have the highest average speeds in their cars
    Ferrari needs to buy Capristo as their oem exhaust fabricator and throw all that oem garbage in the bin
    Scuderia Ferrari needs to beg, borrow, and steal actual race strategists.
    Any cars with matte paint should be taken to bare metal and redone
    Black or chromed wheels should be refinished
    Tan carpets should be discontinued.
    Indy repair shops always trump the dealerships
    McLaren has faster cars and we still do not care
    Straight (test) pipes are your friend
    Gobble is a rock star
    Dave Lelonek is also a rock star
    Challenge car owners are also rock stars
    Lewis Hamilton is not a rock star and really does suck

    And - time is very limited for all of us. Go create new adventures with your Ferrari.

    Fantastic post, and an equally as great photo!

    At this rate you'll probably hit 20k posts before I actually get a Ferrari :)

    What a way to hit 10000, with such a conscientious and insightful post, especially the last bit about f1’s exile from the muppet show!

    Congratulations and thank you for your 10,000 posts! It is FChat members like you who make this such a great resources and community.

    I was especially tickled by a couple of your statements, below.

    Amen! I aspire for this myself. Currently plotting out what model and timing might be best....

    Every year I have started to resolve to drive my Ferrari more. Last year I drove to the FCA Annual Meet and had a blast!

    I think I need each of these statements on a t-shirt! Don't get the whole matte paint thing, and black wheels just don't work on 99% of cars. I have a friend who tells me I should paint my 360 wheels black every time he sees me. I am considering unfriending him!

    Congratulations Robb. But aren't you contradicting yourself here with the beautiful shot? :)

    Naaah....... that’s just a few brief moments in a Ferrari at full whack! He means a long straightaway! Hehehe. That roads only long for Prius and Toyota NoCharismas!
