I have to seriously question the "qualifications" of the author (WSJ online
requires a
subscription so I can't check).
"Fussy" compared to what? A new Toyota? Anyone know anybody taking
long road trips on the remotest (possible) roads in a Ferrari? I do this yearly
in my BJ8. Anybody know of any Ferraris being driven around the world?
Coincidentally, someone just submitted a simple technical queston to the
shop-talk list because the reply from his fellow Ferrari owners was "take it to
the
dealer."
This almost smells like a Yahoo stock message board, where people try to
either badmouth or talk-up a stock to their advantage.
Sorry, had to vent.
