Things you do in your 348 that you don't even realize

I can recommend a good therapist...........










Just kidding......enjoy your car and be safe...........

 

If your speedo reads significantly high, you may be very lucky. I'll explain.
A tranny out of a Mondial t has better gearing for the city. Better acceleration. You give up a little top end, but how often do you try to go 170? Your car may have had a tranny swap like I did to mine to get better gearing for 99% of its use. The swap to numerically higher gearing will cause the speedo to register faster. Who cares? The only downside is that mileage registered on the odo is more too. Again, if you love the car more than the money, who cares?

I had a GPS unit in the car and mine appears to be 3-4 mph high, around 80mph.

 

How about on a sunny day with the top down on a highway. Cruising at "whatever" speed.

You look up at the sky, close your eyes--feel the sun on your face and say to yourself, "Holy S**tballs! Im in a convertible Ferrari. Life is GREAT!"

Life's (not so) simple pleasures.

 

Ive been told when I drive my Fcar through the city or in a Housing zone, Im very responsible. Much more then my other cars. Some times I drive much slower then the limit.

But when Im in the open road, its a totally different ball game.

My answer to the first part is, I feel I have to drive responsible. I have people watching and if I ever do something wrong, Id be the guy in the Ferrari that does anything he wants.

 

This is not anything quirky. It is just appreciating how great life has been to you so far.

I guess I find myself downshifting through tunnels to hear the music. The same thing in parking structures

 

Weird behavior:

I too blip the throttle at the light just to hear the engine snarl.

I always heel-toe downshift even if I am coming to a stop at the light/sign and even down to 1st, because I like that engine sound.

I drive with the windows down most of the time to smell that hot Ferrari engine aroma - what is that anyway? Burning synthetic lubricants?

I've done the radio thing too, notbo!

Lastly, I am the best, most courtious and friendiest driver out there when in the red car. Smile and wave, boys, smile and wave.

 

1 - not guilty...I never listen to it...number 3 below makes up for it
2 - not guilty - this is a fine way to make love to a redneck's pickup with your 348 as nobody in Tx uses them
3 - Guilty as charged

 

Sometimes I find myself combing my eyebrows with my thumb and index finger while staring at myself in my rear vision mirror waiting at the traffic lights

 

Don't you mean eyebrow?

 

Not since I bought the new Gillette Mach 4 Blade

 

Vanity will get you ............ everywhere

 

1. Ditto - I never have the radio on - it kills the sweet sound of the F348 engine revs
2. Ditto
3. Ditto - an extension as per comments for 1 above

 

Your place.........or mine

I have maccona

 

I dance the macarena.

 

Macarena, Macarena, Macarena Ehhhhhhh Macarena I

 

Gentlemen,

I'm getting the 348 I purchased, delivered to me in about 12 days! I can assure you that I will be doing the Kramer face when I drive it for the first time... especially when idling at a traffic light. See avatar for details!

Are you excited yet?

 

Chris,

I think it's more like it's "killing me softly"!!! LOL!
