    So I was out taking some picts when a huge family piled out of a van. They weren't from Los Angeles and hadn't really ever seen a Ferrari. They asked me if they could take a picture with the car. As you can see I am in the background with the duster. They all couldn't believe that I would let them touch and sit in a car that "has got to be more than $1,000,000." Little did they know the new van they pulled up in probably cost more than my little 348. lol! It's big flash; little cash!

    That was really nice of you. Let's hope most, if not all, Ferrari owners would act accordingly. I personally don't want people thinking that I'm some rich, obnoxious as_ hole (even though I am, well, certainly not the rich part) because I'm driving a Ferrari. Good going!

    Good job!
    That is one of my favorite things to do with my car. Seeing the look on someones face when you let them take pictures by or sit in the car is priceless. We are very fortunate to be able to have these wonderful machines and shouldn't forget it. That family will be talking about you and your car for years to come. I'm sure you made their trip unforgetable.:)

    I can't tell if that green car is a POS or an older Rolls Royce?

    Very cool to see that there are other Ferrari owners out there who can fathom the thought of sharing their car with other people. Man some of the fruits I've met at Ferrari meets I can't even begin to explain.

    Excellent work! We all need to do our part to show that your average Ferrari driver is an enthusiast and not an elitist. ave that role for the Porsche Club. :p

    I always recommend you wave and smile to everyone, yield the right of way always and just plain be the absolutely most courtiest driver on the road. We all benefit and can use the break on the body work :)
