Ferrari Mailing List: "The most beautiful car in the world"

[Steve Cook (stevec]

This is a true story...

 

My wife requested Chick-fil-a for dinner the other night - if you're not
familiar, it's a chicken sandwich/nuggets place that has the BEST
nuggets and sandwiches around.  They're main marketing consists of cow's
holding a sign that proclaims "Eat Mor Chiken".  Chick-fil-a also does
catering and group delivery, and to do that they use a Scion Xb painted
like a cow.

 

To pick up the food, I drove in the 355, and because the ever-present
drive-thru line was longer than usual, I parked right up front. As I
waited in line and ordered, people would come in and comment amongst
themselves about the Ferrari outside (surprisingly, this is always more
common than when I drive the red 308).  After getting the food and
heading out the door, a family is slowly making their way out in front
of me.

 

A little girl, probably 5 years old, is holding onto her father's hand,
and skipping along. She slows and then shouts, "That's the most
beautiful car in the world!" The father looks down, then looks at the
gleaming silver 355 and says "Yes, it sure is pretty."  "And," the girl
continues, "It looks just like a cow!"   Yes, beyond the silver 355, was
the "most beautiful car in the world" white-with-black-spots Honda Scion
Xb.
