Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Daily driver divorce

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

Hey Dan: Before you part with your 944, I suggest that you talk with our fellow 
Lister Tom Reynolds. He hasn't been the same happy-go-lucky guy after selling 
his beloved 'Mario.' Of course Mario was a Ferrari, not one of 
those?annoying?mass-produced P-Bugs. (let the flames begin.)

Yer pal, Ferrari Bubba

Subject: [Ferrari] Daily driver divorce



Hi folks! For about 4 years now I have been driving for a daily driver a very 
clean 1990 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet. The taboo is that I fell in love with the 
car. Being in the business I NEVER am supposed to allow that to happen. Well, 
since the birth of my son about 16 months ago new concerns have propped 
themselves on the horizon. Things like rear seat room, accident safety, luggage 
space etc... Seems like the top down, wind in the hair, buzzing exhaust note 
and 
shiny red paint have been relegated to only weekends anymore. Melissa and I 
used 
to take drives on Sunday mornings down A1A/Ocean Drive but again since the new 
addition, this has ceased to be a reality. After long and hard thought and much 
gnashing of the teeth I finally forced myself to trade her (the car not 
Melissa) 
in yesterday. Yet, I think I found the solution to rectify some of the reasons 
I 
loved the Porsche so much. I decided to buy an MB CLK Cabriolet. Four (and I 
use 
this term loosely) "usable" seats, convertible top, larger V8 engine and much 
nicer amenities. Strangely enough, when I looked out in the drive this morning 
I 
didn't miss the Porsche so much after all. This is something I never thought 
would happen since I keep my cars for long periods of time. Am I just getting 
old? Does the buying process really bring this much emotional havoc for any of 
you guys too? I do this every day in business but for crying out loud when it's 
on a personal level it just about drove me crazy. Sorry if this seems frivolous 
but I didn't sleep worth a darn for almost a week trying to build up the 
intestinal fortitude to let the Porsche go.
