    Let me edit reality on this one Don...

    My favorite story was not driving any of my Ferrari’s, but my Aventador. I pulled into the Cheesecake Factory with my girlfriend. The parking lot was completely full and there was obviously a wait. She decided that she would hop out and get in the line while I waited for a parking space (some people were getting into their car, but they were moving slowly). My girlfriend got into line behind a couple guys. One of them tapped the other to turn around and said, “wow, check out that Lamborghini, he must have worked way harder than us to get there” The other guy said, “that’s a kit car, and you know only an a-$hole would drive a kit car, I'm also too lazy to even build a kit car let alone work for the real thing.” My girlfriend couldn’t help herself. She told them, “that’s not a kit car, but he is an a-$hole, enjoy settling in life!"

    From the world of stupid comments, I was at a cars and coffee, rear bonnet of my Testarossa raised, talking about the engine with the people there.

    A dude walks up and says "this is a kit car." I looked at him confusingly and said, no this is legit - in fact, here's the Testarossas engine! He looked at it and said "yeah, well, you could have swapped that in here." I said, "that would be an expensive swap." And just stared at him. He walked away.

    Went grocery shopping this morning. A young woman walks by as I was getting out of my 360 Spider. She ask, "Is that a real engine?" I said, "No, the real engine is in the front."

    At our cars and coffee I always ask the kids if they want a picture in the drivers seat. We have to get the younger generation interested in cars to carry our passion into the future!

    Not only that, but that helps to reinforce a positive image of Ferrari owners.

    I try not to argue with idiots, SLM. They usually drag you down to their level, and beat you by experience.

    A Barista at Starbucks told me today she used to work on transmissions on my car...458 Spider.


    I don't believe it. She is a very pretty girl though. I still don't believe it.

    I doubt if she even knows it's a double clutch transmission. My understanding is you replace them and send them back to Italy to be fixed if even that.

    Maybe she is trying to get into my tool box. :)

    While you’re probably correct, I have met a few female mechanics over the years. Many years ago I took an auto shop class at the local junior college. The assistant instructor, was a woman who also worked at Cooper Technica. (Fairly well known high end restoration shop that used to be located in Chicago’s West Loop.)

    How does one go from being a skilled mechanic to a barista at Starbucks? The tips aren’t THAT good!

    Re my 458 - "Is that your Lamborghini?"
    "No, it's a Ferrari."
    "How fast does it go?"
    "200"
    "I thought it would go 300."
    "No, just 200."
    "Oh."

    Picked up the kids the other day and there was a group of Model A owners in the same parking lot and one of them comes over and says "Son, that's a beautiful car. You must be single, you're too young for that." I replied as I showed him my wedding ring, "No sir, I have a great wife and family." He was dumbfounded, but then seemed to understand.
