Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Looking to buy a Ferrari

[Tom Reynolds (kjtar]

Right!  Just to keep him interested, I printed out a photo of the Porsche ad
"Kills bugs fast."  But when we go on our bike rides (he passed his Cycling
merit badge this summer, longest ride we did was a bit over 50 miles, great
fun!) we look for "special cars" and we did see a red Ferrari (think it was
a 360) and several Porsches.
