    Hello to everyone in the group. I just wanted to say hi and let everyone know first off I am not a ferrari owner but might try and show up at some of the events you guys meet at or organize. Being in the car scene we all know there are meets with classy, respectful car owners who enjoy eachother's cars as much as enjoying other's company. Well in DFW there are far too many meets with high schoolers and other sketchy people that I do not like to bring my car around. I do enjoy car shows and looking at what others have built but have been turned off by the prospect of having to babysit my car at these other events.

    I realize that some events are reserved for Ferrai owners only and will respect those gatherings but if there are any meets That are just "exotic" cars in general I wouldn't mind meeting up with you guys if you are ok to be seen with me. Long story short I drive a 1995 R33 GTR and get hounded everywhere and want to get more invovled with a more mature group of car enthusiasts and if you are in the Ferrari club you must have done something right to get there. :)

    I am not sure if there are post restrictions for posting pictures but I will certainly try and you guys can talk it over and I will respect the decision of the group whatever that may be.

    Thanks again,

    Dave

    I'm not sure "mature" and "DFW Fchatters" belong in the same sentence :D

    Yeah "mature" can mean just about anything but I asume it means you uys are above the level of saying stupid things like

    "Oh man, how much did that cost you?"

    "Oh man I want one of those can you get me one too?"

    And of course insert the staple leaning with greasy hands all over the windows and quarter panels to get a better look.


    As far as maturity like do we sit around and talk about stock portolios and business deals all day.....I sure hope not I just like to let lose and have a good time. :D

    Thanks for the welcome guys.

    I have pictures from last year on my phone of what I think is your Nissan parked in front of Pluckers on Greenville. Does your car have an insanely deep and loud idle? I think it caused my heart to have arrhythmia temporarily if so :D

    Are you an SMU alum as well...?

    Those are nice photographs, especially the static one on that roof deck. Good composure, lighting, etc.

    Yeah...I go to Pluckers occasionally. Mostly on Trivia night and grab a few beers. The idle seems to rumble most solid structures and sucks on long trips. 3.5" all the way back with a Burns 4" tip. :D

    It's around occasionally.

    Yeah I am an SMU alum. I loved undergrad there so much I am applying for grad school for this coming fall (MBA) :D

    Cool, the night I saw your car was a quiz night. I was inside with my losing team (lol) most of the night.

    When'd you graduate? I did in '06 with a BA in Advertising.

    I graduated in '05 with a BA in Finance. Great program and I can't wait to go back. Too bad our football program continues to blow. :(

    Perhaps, but ask any random student there if SMU has a soccer team, and I bet they don't know. I didn't lol.

    PS; Many here are car nuts, not just Ferrari nuts. Ferrari just happens to check most of the boxes under the listing of "Cool"
    I've got a couple of Rice-mobiles as well.

    I agree with you guys on the soccer front. I played club, high school, intrmural, and indoor soccer all my life, so watching all of the soccer games was a must for me. They are finally getting anew soccer field that will hopefully be worth a damn.
