    I'm thinking about taking my 308, the 355 is broken but I also have my Porsche 930.

    I plan to get plenty wasted so I might just leave them at home..

    If you plan to drink, leave the cars at home and hire a driver.

    Yes, much safer to hire a driver for the night.

    You can always load up a few photos of your cars on your smartphone.
    Only show the pictures to your classmates if they bring up the topic of cars first in the conversation.

    And, probably a good idea not to wear any Ferrari logo clothing either.
    Don't be "This Guy" ... :eek: :)

    If I drive I would either not drink or call someone to drive it home but I'll leave it at home. And the only Ferrari clothing I own is a hat.

    Don't be THAT guy and secondly just get a taxi, better safe than sorry. My 30yr reunion is in '05 and I will treat it like all my other class reunions, I will not be there.

    Go ahead and get plowed. It's what reunions are for. Nail the chick that wouldn't give you the time of day. Have fun! Oh yeah, hire an attorney!

    I drove my 355 to my 25 year reunion. No one really checks out the parking lot at these things. Since I didn't mention what I drove to anyone, it didn't really matter what I drove, except while I was driving it.

    Adding drinking to the equation makes the answer pretty easy, I think. I'd hate to leave my Ferrari outside in a parking lot over night.

    Make a real entrance and charter a helicopter. Take the drink from the guy who was the biggest ****** at the time, spit it out, say it's terrible, and go back to the helo and book the F out.

    ;)

    I fly on choppers for a living so not going to spend that kind of money haha. But in my initial post I already made my mind up I'm getting hammered at lest to drunk to drive and since I'll be home for the holidays I have a free ride home. My class was relatively small about 150 people so it will be fun to see some of them. Plus I have lived away from home so it's good to run into people I haven't seen in a while.

    I drove my Ferrari to my 40th reunion, didn't drink, didn't mention it to anyone that didn't ask me about it. Some of the reactions were "precious" to say the least. Afterwards (about 1:00 AM) I encountered a cop that turned around to follow me for several miles. It was obvious that he was looking for a reason to pull me over.

    I vote for this one!

    You will need to be wearing an all white silk suit to have the maximum effect, and if possible have a small entourage.
