Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Are Ferraris Losing Their Good Looks?

[red5hilser (red5hilser]

Ach, the old DC-3 days. When a flight from LAX to San Francisco was only $10 
one way. Almost as good as the $5 round trip flights, free drinks and 
all,?leaving Long Beach to Hawthorne Nevada and The Silver Dollar Saloon & 
'Casa de Putas' that left at 7 pm on Friday nights, returning Saturday evenings.

That came to a sudden halt when, on a dark snowy winter night, the plane never 
got back to Long Beach. After a few weeks of searching the High Sierras, it 
seems that the DC-3 flew straight into Mt. Whitney, which summits?at 14,485 
feet. I took the flight a few times, but thank God, I wasn't on it that time.

So - at the risk of an comparison example - Passenger aircraft.  When I was 
a kid, I used to fly in DC-3's.  And as is wont in the Pacific Northwest - 
there were plenty of hellish weather fronts to transgress.  As a 6 year old, 
I was not suave enough to measure the flight as a one bagger or two bagger - 
but any time there was turbulence - the plane got the crap kicked out of it 
and I was talking to Ralph in those wax paper bags.  Flash forward - Jet 
age - now we fly ABOVE the trash below and I haven't been sick since.

The parallel?  No matter what - there will always be storms - those flying 
at lower financial altitudes get the crap kicked out of them.  Those flying 
above the trash financial weather - drink their coffee and read their books.

As Rolls Royce [once] said - We never knew there was a depression.  heh heh
