Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Thanksgiving

[TheMightyToe (themightytoe]

Well On this topic, with Clyde's easily >$4k clutch job...  And the "god 
only knows" cost of a 308 engine rebuild...

I  would like to say I am thankful for small repair bills (the Chevy is 
now stored for the winter), family, Turkey and a lack of many feet of 
snow so far this year!

Happy Thanksgiving all!

BR,
Mike
