    I was registering with a state agency on-line (EMS) as part of my ever expanding job.
    Had to pick a log in, so... of course I picked something Ferrari related (my car model, did not use "Ferrari")

    Guy at the state agency has been badgering me to sign up (never met the guy or talked to him; he has left me several voice messages)... so I called him to let him know I finally did it. So, he says "Hello, Dr. XXXXX.... let me look you up...... so, do you own a Ferrari?"
    I stumbled for a second, and asked "why do you ask?"
    He said "your log in name!"

    we are everywhere!!!!
    (car guys, that is!)

    That is excellent.

    I recall going to an automotive event years ago and the lead speaker was telling an auditorium full of us "car guys & gals" "...use automotive speak whenever you can. Interject it into your everyday - it can only do the hobby good..."

    It seems you have been practicing that my good Doctor. Bravo.

    I was happy to see car stuff on the walls at my new oncologist's office yesterday. Turns out that we've both shown cars at Concorso Italiano, but not in the same year.
