Ferrari Mailing List: Fwd: of Ferrari's and dresssing well....

Hey Tom: If the paper was 'The Arizona Daily Star,' (aka: The Red Star) and you 
showed up in a red Ferrari Dino GT, you were lucky not to have been shot on 
sight. After I 'retired,' the TNI security dept. was issued orders that if I 
showed up, to shoot, ask questions and call the police later. Something about 
'someone' wiring a smoke bomb to the ignition in the publisher's car. And if 
the loading dock was at our plant at Park and Irvington in Tucson, chances are 
you were interviewed by a tall dark haired German woman named Siglinde, who we 
all called 'von Knobber' for one of her other well known talents she used in 
the parking lot at night. Ach, she could make 'der muttersprech' (mother 
tongue) sing!
 
Yer pal, Ferrari Bubba

Yes, perceptions are funny things.  When I had my '78 308gt4 ('Mario') and
was looking for work in Arizona, one of the jobs I was "interviewing" for
was a paper route delivery.  I was standing on the loading dock with a bunch
of other people, waiting for my "ride" to show up, and I joked "Gee, I'll
bet it would be a bad idea to show up here to deliver on those
(rocky/dusty/bumpy roads) in my Ferrari, huh?"  Well, you could just SEE the
tension in the air and the silence, just like that old commercial ..."and
E.F. Hutton says..." and then I said "yeah, like I've got a Ferrari..." and
then everything switched back to the way it was.  So, I found out with that
and other circustances, that people expect a certain something when they
meet a Ferrari owner.  It's the price you pay for driving something you
love, I guess.  Either you care to a certain degree or not, but people will
judge, nontheless.
Just enjoy,
