Ferrari Mailing List: Re: HS Coach Lends His Car...[]errari Digest, Vol 33, Issue 5

[BRIGANDBAR (BRIGANDBAR]

I guess I must be out of touch, part of the MTV generation or something  like 
that.
 
While I wouldn't loan my Ferrari(s) to students had I been a teacher in his  
position, my 25 year old son drives the Ferrari when he was in college and 
came  home on his spring or fall break and it doesn't phase me a bit. I 
remember 
what  I would have been like if we had a Ferrari in the family when I was his 
age and  cannot imagine my father telling me not to drive it. While he is what 
we used to  call a "Goat Roper" and now teaches agriculture in a high school 
in TX, and if I  asked him which vehicle he would like to take home with him 
the F-350 4x4 might  edge out the Ferrari at any given time, what difference 
does it matter. 
 
Gentlemen, these are automobiles. Fine automobiles, I'll give you that, but  
still just an automobile. They can be replaced with an "in kind" substitute if 
 necessary, and there are competent shops that can make any necessary 
repairs. I  would be concerned about injury but then again, WWDHD [what would 
Dad 
have done]  at that age, do exactly as I suspect he does, drive it like you 
stole 
it, just  obey the law and don't get any tickets. In fact, that is the only 
guidance I  give him whether it is a Ferrari, an ATV or a PWC. In the end he is 
as  responsible as I have asked and educated him to be so I am responsible 
for his  actions in some secondary way should some adverse event occur. And he 
is 25  years old, and while I don't think that there is an exclusion on my 
insurance  policy I can't imagine it being anything less than 21 years old and 
in 
any event  even Hertz used to rent their GT500's to people his current age.
 
Drive the car, don't worship it.
