    Because I can! That's the only excuse I need. ;)


    Otherwise, I consider the following.....

    Because the sky is blue
    Because the grass is green
    Becuase it starts
    Becuase the wheels are round

    and the list goes on and on........

    Well, if there is ever an emergency...it's good to know you're already out there in one of the fastest modes of ground transportation there is...it's good to be prepared and ready for that type of scenario.

    I don't have a Ferrari yet, so I won't be needing excuses...yet. :D BUT, there is a member on this forum (won't say the name for protection of the innocent) that picked me up in his F430 last summer. During the drive, he said, "You know, YOU were my excuse to go for a drive. I don't think my wife would have let me go if I didn't have you as an excuse." We both laughed. :)
