    So I am looking at the car and thinking, boy some things are very specific with owning a Ferrari. So I thought a funny thread relating to ownership maybe in order.

    So answer the question:

    You know you own a Ferrari when?

    - You know to get your tow hook in place before the flat bed arrives

    - You remember to hit the alarm button before you try to start the car avoiding an embarrasing situation in front of a very nice restaurant with everyone watching

    I am sure there are more to come...lets see them.

    You get your keys sent to you FedEx and stare at them for hours. And this is BEFORE the car even shows up!!

    I am in your EXACT position you were in a few weeks ago my friend!!! :)

    I know EXACTLY how you must have felt!!

    You know you own a Ferrari when....

    even though your car is broke half the time every time you drive it it is the best moment of your life and you instantly forget how much trouble (and money) it put you through.

    .....You miss the gasoline smell in your garage when the car is gone.


    .....You like the way your clothes smell after a nice long drive.


    .....Driving 70 down the highway feels "slow".

    Actually, I have the title too, a stack of receipts, etc.

    But I will only have to stare at those for a few days, unlike your 6 weeks of hell!! :)


    Do pictures of the tool kit, Momo steering wheel box, etc count towards my agony too??

    When you have more pictures of the car in your wallet than the wife and kids., or that all the bits and pieces that are in your den are red, or yellow with a black horse sort of one dimensional focused theme..

    When your cellphone ring matches the anthems of the Ferrari F1 drivers...

    Or when you get the urge to eat Italian food 'just because'...

    Not that I'm an owner, but I have heard the following far too many times at FCA meetings/events --- rather than being asked "How are you?", you are asked "So, what are you driving today?"

    When the AC breaks on the same day the windows decide to stay down, and you just kinda figure it evens out. So you drive it anyway :D

    You break up with someone (2 actually) because they don't like riding in it. (too loud, too hot, etc.)

    You pity those not driving a Ferrari. They have no idea what they're missing.

    All of your gauges are either optimistic, pestimistic, or simply hooked up wrong by the factory :D
