    Yesterday was the graduation of my girlfriend elder son. Both son are working very hard and have the best result at school. Maurice received yesterday the Canada general governor medal. This medal is presented only to students that have the BEST overall result of the school.

    Because they live in a small northern town(Iroquois falls, Ontario) a Ferrari is something they never see. So I let Mau use the car for his graduation. One of their teacher is Miss Roy and it is not hard to understand Mau is one of her prefered student.

    Sometimes during the dinner another student told Miss Roy '' did you see Mau's car?''
    ''He's here with a Ferrari''

    - ''You're kidding''

    Maurice told her if she want a ride after the dinner he would be happy to do it.

    When she got out for the ride she reacted by saying ''And it's a Testarossa'' '' my god!''

    Maurice wanted to show her where the door handle was and she said '' Don't worry I know where the handle is''

    After the ride she told Mau he just filled one of her dream, '' and in my hometown''

    She then explained she has been attending car shows when she was younger and the Testarossa had always been one of her favorite car but she could never get close enough because the cars were treated like jewels and you could almost not breath close to the car and surrounded by ropes.

    It's been a nice day for all.

    That is one of the perks of Ferrari ownership; the same dream most of us held onto is shared by so many others.
    There is not much that compares to the grin on the faces of people that I have taken for a ride; as I had to buy one to experience the same!
    Custodial ownership can go two ways, however seeing that look in the eye and smile.... it keeps you grounded.
