My First F-car!

I can only speak for myself but, when I visit this site I fantasize about Ferrari ownership and I don't think about the bad things in life. I have been in accidents and had near death experiences but, I have been very lucky and survived.
One of by best friends had a 4-wheeler accident and was partially paralyzed but, he regained the use of all of his body overtime. After that happened to him it has been something that I have thought about a lot. I always thought it was one of the worse things that could happen to me.
Driving in the Hill Country on the weekends is one of my favorite things to do in life. Your story makes me realize that you can still enjoy the greater things in life, even after tragic accidents.
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. Your post makes me smile every time I see it.
I look forward to the video if you shoot one.

 

ROCK ON!!!

 

I am very, very impressed!

 

Congratulations!. I commend you for living life to the fullest even after the tragedy you experienced. Goodluck w/ the car!

 

Hi Marc and welcome to the Club. We all pretty much like just about any F car and you absolutely can not post too many pix of your yellow 355. As far as the short guy goes....your pretty TALL in my book. Regards, Steve

 

Thanks for the explanation on the controls. You rock!

 

Marc, If I were you, I would take that idea and make it a reality, and judging from the looks of your motivation and the attitude you bring to the table, if you decide to go with it, it will be a success in no time.


HAVE FUN WITH YOUR AWSOME FERRARI 355

 

Thats awesome man, enjoy the 355. Isnt the exhaust intoxicating?

 

So now we know the REAL reason for drilled pedals is so you can fit hand controls! Cool! Sounds like you can 'thumb and index' like the rest of us heel and toe. Hope you enjoy your beautiful yellow wheels for a very long time to come. Congratulations on finding the car.

 

Your passion and determination should set example for us all.
Enjoy vehicle as much as you can.

 

You remind me of one of my hero...Alex Zanardi.

 

Congrats Bro!

 

Very inspiring post and congratulations on the GTS's purchase.

 

You are no doubt a star, a true champion and a hero. I wish you all the best.

The 355 is a great car, one of the best ever made by ferrari.

I am sure you will enjoy it.

cheers

You're a great example to this community. Cheers for being strong.

Take Care,
Kevin

 

Congrats on the car. It's one of my favorites resembling the Corvette's targa design. A drop top with all the safety of a coupe. Great story and enjoy the car.

 

Congrats Marc. As others have said you definitely come across as a great guy and an inspiration to achieve your dreams no matter what.

 

Rob and Mod's:

May I please nominate Marc for, at a minimum, "Post of the Month?" This is further proof of the human spirit and a refusal to resign.

Enjoy the 355, Marc.

 

What a way to deal with adversity! No self pitying crying in your beer over a country and western song. WTG and congratulations on the car.

 

Awesome. I just saw this thread now. This is a great story. Enjoy your new f-car!

 

Marc,

Thank you for sharing your special day. Your experience is inspiring and an education on how ones mind is the most powerful engine in the world. The heart is merely the fuel...

Congratulations and Buono Fortuna.

Wow, the hand controls are really clever. Da Vinci said it best centuries ago ... "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication".

Congrats at all levels!

 

HEY! You live next door to me! "kind've"

 

Wow i am totally amazed. Congratulations not just on the purchase (beautiful car), but on your attitude to life! Well done mate!

 

Very interested in seeing the video.

BTW, where the heck does the chair go in the 355?!
