Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Other ugly 348 TB story.

[Erik Nielsen (judge4re]

Things haven’t changed. 

You can get better, but you will not pay more.  It’s a shame really. I expect 
them to get worse since the real owners want the stock price to be a similar 
multiplier to a luxury goods house, not someone that makes actual hardware 
subject to multiple global regulations. 

Bit of a riff on what Carlin said, it’s a dream car, you have to be asleep to 
believe it…
