Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 08140 is in da HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!

[Robert W. Garven Jr. (rgarven]

Damn!  I hate seeing a car nicer than mine!!  :-)

I have a feeling your life has just changed for the better!!!! If you  
need any help
give a shout!  Are those front and rear side reflectors cut in or  
just stuck on???

Congratulations!  I remember my first ride, your experience brings  
back a flood of emotions.

And yes move everything in your garage over to your wifes side!!  :-P
