[Spridgets] How to piss of a Ferrari Owner

[mike rambour]

 I am sure there are snobs in the Spridget world also.

 In my other life, I drive a FIAT Dino Spider, because of its history
and ties to Ferrari it is allowed in the Ferrari owners club and at all
events (supposed to be anyway).

 Over the years at various events, I have met some of the biggest SOB's
on the planet and some of the very nicest you could ever want to meet.
One time at a dinner in L.A. I was told by the organizer that my Dino
needed to be parked in the "other cars" parking lot across the street,
only Ferrari's were allowed in the restaurants parking lot.  I did not
argue and drove across the street and 3 Ferrari's followed me which
really upset him, made some great friends that night.

 I would have to say that the Ferrari world and the entire Italian
exotic car scene has the most snobs who will quickly defend their choice
of car but really don't know anything about the car.  But its not
everyone, some of them really are lifelong friends that you can depend
on, they just have a extra 0 or two in their bank balance.

 I just treat all Ferrari owners as snobs until they prove otherwise to
me, its surprising how many are down to earth people.  But the ones that
really are snobs, RUN, don't walk RUN AWAY.
