Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrari luggage--I use mine and I actually drive my car too!--Shame, shame

[robert_h_bowser [at] juno.com (robert_h_bowser]

Hey...I'm an oldfart Ferrarilister, and I drive my old shitbox 308 all the time 
(3-4 times a week).  I don't need no stinkin' fancy luggage...although I'd love 
to have some to scuff up!

What's wrong with you guys? The Ferrarilisters of old are noted for driving 
their cars, using the Ferrari stuff, etc. It's just stuff after all. Shame, 
shame on you guys for hiding stuff in closets and wrapping stuff in plastic 
bags. Hell you only live once. Buy it and use it! I use mine luggage and I 
like it!
When did we start worrying about resale value, etc and stop worrying about 
how we can make our cars go faster around the track? We're starting to sound 
like non-drives and proud that we only but 300 miles last year on our cars. 
Shame, shame.
Thank You
