    I thought that page 36 of the Ferrari Owners Manual stated that women would be spontaneously throwing themselves through the window of any Ferrari when pulled up to a stop light or sign. Having a convertible, this should be even easier!

    This is somewhat true but I'd rather meet one who can appreciate a Ferrari but isn't awed by it...in other words your friends and relatives should be used to Fcar life and would therefore be good candidates, haha :)

    I know a blonde girl that is single in the Greeneville NC area. She is 23 years old but she just broke up with her Ex not too long ago. I haven't talked to her in a while though.
    Im headed down in a min to go to the Beach House in South Carolina for a week of Relaxation since the grass needs cutting there. I'll holler at her later today. She's probably driving around town in Gville today.

    Holy crap it's hot outside. Just went to fuel up, and DAMN... it's got to still be 95 degrees out. Good thing the new flapper in my AC works like a champ (thanks Dave Helms!!!). I nearly got frostbite inside the car. :)

    Car is packed... the beach awaits!!

    Just be sure to dress nicely tomorrow and put on a good image (false front) for the FCA. A local newspaper has been alerted to our passage.

    Dry in Winston. My meteorologist in Graham says the roads are drying off quickly there too. Word from Durham? PK?

    Deluge at 10:00 AM, sunny and roads drying fast at noon...

    Saw a nice silver 360 Spider headed East on I-540 towards Leesville Rd about 1/2 hour ago...

    Great event! My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Many thanks to the organizers, hosts, and everyone else involved in putting it together.

    ps: Don't forget to wash that salt off your cars now ... that sea breaze carries it to every nook and cranny.

    I second everything Hank said. It was a great event...my first ever FCA event actually. I enjoyed getting to meet all of you in attendance and look forward to the next get-together.

    Sorry if I blasted anyone's eardrums, haha.

    Hope I'll run into some of y'all at the International Meet in Corning/Watkins Glen in a week and a half. I'll be there.

    YOU went...?!?!?!!?


    My god I WISH I could have been there. Just to hear you tell the stories of the things you have seen!!!!!

    (Like the one about the guy that ran his Ferrari in to the back of a Blockbuster store.... Or the one about the guy that let his brother fill his car with pollen and cat hair.... Or the guy that put stickers for shields on his car.... Or that dumb ass that....)

    definitely looks like it was an absolute blast. Wish I'd been able to be there, it would have been a great final weekend before I start work this wednesday. I know mom and dad really enjoyed themselves... I'm jealous that they got to see (and sit in) the 599.

    Apparently they loved being able to brag that I've actually got a job, I hope they didn't talk your ears off about it too much.

    HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Our lunch conversation on Saturday was entirely about your new job. They are (rightly so) very proud!



    EDIT: ok, maybe it wasn't the entire lunch.... but it was a good 85% of it!
