Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferrari vis Rolls Royce

[Erik Nielsen (judge4re]

You guys aren't the only nuts.  My gift to myself for finishing my MBA is
going to be a Turbo R.  Anyone know where I can get a "Tax The Rich" bumper
sticker for it?

The neighbors already make fun of us and parking around here.  Anytime they
see the Jeep and the Volvo in front of the house, they know the red cars are
out.  One neighbor about died when I had all three lined up and was washing
one at a time.

Cheers,
Erik
