Hey Rick – I know THAT spot very well. Really fairly straight and no surprises - - - that is unless you live by McCann-Erickson’s jingle from the 60’s - - - Things go better with Coke.” What a bone head – but then he DID get the Enzo from an even denser bone head. Cheers Doug From: Ferrari [mailto:ferrari-bounces+dnt=dock.net [at] ferrarilist.com] On Behalf Of Rick Moseley Speaking of idiots with money AND real GTOs... Caught the 2nd installment of AUTObiography yesterday while working on some router updates at the house. It was about the ENZO that got obliterated on PCH...2006? What a tangled web of shit that turned out to be once they weeded out most of the rumors and lies. The car was rebuilt BY Ferrari, changed colors, got a few factory extras and sold to Jean Todt. It's changed hands a few more times and the new owner also has a 288 and a racing TR amongst other cars of note. Worth the watch if you've nothing better to do and need to know there are some fucked up people out there. On Sunday, March 3, 2019, 10:58:37 AM PST, Robert W.

lol. I don’t do much with the FCA since the vast majority of their events are heinously expensive. However, a few weeks ago I did their track event at Daytona International Speedway since I wanted to try that track. There was a scattering of interesting cars from a variety of marques, but the vast majority of attendees were 458/488 chassis. I signed up for the intermediate group since I am realistically low- to mid-intermediate with most groups I run with. This lot was hilarious though. There were probably 40-50 cars in the intermediate group, and of those, maybe 6 had any concept of the racing line. It was quite clear that most of them were just slogging through the infield road course section as a necessary evil to be able to hammer it on the banked oval sections. It was literally a 30mph poser parade through anything with a turn included. After lunch I found the Chief Instructor and asked if I could run with the advanced group for a session or two. At most events, those guys would consider me a chicane, but this time I was only passed by three cars – a seriously quick Corvette C7 Grand Sport, an F12 and an IMSA prototype. Pretty sure after the event, all of the intermediate guys drove to the local hot spot and assumed two parking spots each. J From: Ferrari [mailto:ferrari-bounces+charles=carolinasound.com [at] ferrarilist.com] On Behalf Of Rick Moseley Bingo!! The last sentence says it all for me. There are those who buy cars for the way the cars make them feel when they are alone behind the wheel. Many of those people are my friends (plenty here) Then There are those who buy cars for the way they think the cars make them look in public. I tend not to gravitate their way. I'd rather spend a whole Saturday in Rob Garven's garage than 2 minutes with the dork that just bought a 488, showed up at the local hot spot and took two parking spots by the front door.
