Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Women should stop admiring Ferrari owners

[LarryT (l02turner]

The article said<<stop  admiring men who drive sports cars >>

Yeah,  and start drooling over those guys driving those sexy SUVs and Mini 
Vans - both environmentally damaging -

duh, Sir David is making such a stupid suggestion - especially since there's 
so much junk science involved in this debate --

And then he backs it up by saying <<the  individual, however, they will buy 
a Ferrari,
[snip] because young women think it  is sexy to see men driving Ferraris>>

Now, be truthful, how many of you guys lucky enough to own a Ferrari bought 
it because you wanted women to look at you?

I drive a 911 but would own a Ferrari if I could, and having women look at 
me wasn;t even on the list of reasons I bought the 911 or want a Ferrari. 
Jeez, that guy is so dumb.

And he wats the govt to drive Prius' ?  Geez, what about disposal of 
batteries after they're used up?  No environmental problem there.   And he 
says a F430 produces 4 times the greenhouse gases as a Prius - he fails to 
mention the Prius is likely friven 10 times as much -

oh well, at least stupidity isn't catching -

I wonder if he was appointed or elected?

Natirally, the real reason for him generaing controversary - he has a new 
book coming out next month.  It's about the money -

Merry Christmas Ya'll
;-)
