Ferrari Mailing List: Re: No Longer Looking to Buy a Ferrari.... now naming cars....

[Matt Boyd (ferrari308driver]

Gavin,

I don't know what a '15 Fiat looks like but I'm intrigued...can you
send me a pic?

Funny you mention "Red Car" because that's what I usually call it when
I'm not with friends.  I don't like the presumptuous looks you get
when you're overheard saying "Let's go in the Ferrari" amongst
strangers.

Along those same lines, I took the 308 out yesterday to go to Home
Depot.  I went to grab the Ferrari jacket, but then decided not to.  I
began thinking about why not.  I think the issue is that if I'm taking
the Ferrari to a car event, I'll wear the Ferrari jacket.  If I'm
taking the Ferrari to anything else (like the mall), I won't wear the
Ferrari jacket so people won't think I'm showing off.  And if I didn't
drive the Ferrari to wherever I'm going I will wear the Ferrari
jacket.

FWIW.  :)
