Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Cost of Ferrari Ownership

[Brian E. Buxton (BrianBuxton]

I know what you mean, but some of my clients don't shop for themselves 
and have people at their house to feed their animals, clean golf clubs, 
shine shoes, take their luggage to the airport and have it in the G5 
before they get there, etc.  Daily staff.  No kidding.  And convenience 
is far more important than cost.  If they want it the cost is not a 
consideration.
