Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC: Tulsa area auto event

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

Hey Tom: From what I've been told, you'd have a 50-50% chance of survival if 
you were hit by Lance Armstrong on his Tour de France racing bike. It would be 
like riding a Japanese 'crotch-rocket @ 100 mph, blindfolded going the wrong 
way on the Hollywood Freeway during rush hour. You'd have more chance for 
survival playing russian roulette with one empty chamber instead of five. If 
you get one ... be sure that your life insurance is all paid up. Especially the 
policy naming me as sole benificary, good buddy.

Good luck, yer pal Ferrari Bubba

I took a ride in one that had been imported from Europe almost a year ago
(the importation, not the ride).  I'd be afraid to get hit by a semi, or
even maybe a Buick Electra 225, but his diesel version seemed to have at
least adequate pep around town.  SMG gearshift, convertible, all the bells
and whistles see www.members.cox.net/kjtar for pics.  I just want to go and
take a test drive in one, hopefully there'll be one with a stick shift.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.  Or lost, I suppose.  Thanks for the
details, Dan.  Oh, and Ken...you better not get one then.
:)
Best regards,
Tom
