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

[Charles Perry (charles]

Interesting - my wife and I also refer to the cars by color for the same
reason - it's easier on us and it's less pretentious in front of people.
My family (mom/dad/brother) with whom I work also refer to them that
way.

And my behavior with Ferrari labeled clothing is identical to Matt's for
the same reasons as well...

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.  :)
