A good friend of ours that is another "car guy" has Ferrari's and on really pretty days he will drive them wherever he needs to go. Except to pick the kids up at school....... wonder why
As for parking..... the friend aboves wife and I laugh about our "reserved" parking spots at the local SuperTarget. It is usually only one of our cars that will be parked in these special spots. Even though she only ever drives their Suburban and I could be in anything.......... we always head for one of 2 spots. It is out there. Soooo, we park in these spots that there is only ONE SPOT to park on either aisle nose in to each other between one of the grass medians and the far out buggy return. No one can park on either side of us AND no one can put their buggy right next to our cars. I usually pass the entire empty parking lot from that spot to the door. I don't like to park out in the wide open and cars zipping thru hit the car OR windblown buggies come barrelling into it.
LOL...I have been known to collect all the baskets in the area of my car and put them in the return. You have no idea how furious I get at some of these people who just give the basket a push and are done with it!

I am the same way...infuriating!
Lovely pieces of machinery, btw.

OK, I got turned down on the other jobs I proposed, so how's about a a buggy protecter or valet or?????. I'm easy.
The Ferrari is purely a weekend driver...our biggest arguement is about "putting too much mileage" on it! The AM DH occasionally takes to work...other than that he drives his truck..or my car, like today.
For me....taking it to grocery stores or any shopping...not a biggie...I just park waaaaaaaaaaaaaay out and pray some pos doesn't park right next to me.
GREAT pics! LOL...I use my C6 Z06 as a semi-daily driver and I park WAYYYY out when at the grocery store. Every once in a while I come out to find some knob parked right next to me....grrrrrrrrr.
Great pics ShelbyGirl1
But to be honest I could never own cars like that
My SO would never get any attention (She would be forever sexually frustrated)
After I had spend every day continually washing/waxing/rubbing/kissing I would
be too worn out to spend any time with my SO
Don't be so shocked, its not as if I would 'Hump the hood' of any of those babies
Well may maybe the Aston
^^^^^ Get those buttons OFF THAT CAR! Your scratching up the paint and leaving greasy messy fingerprints on it.
Heck, I love that hubby has his cars. Whenever I just want quiet to sit and do nothing to relax in the evenings I can send him to the "man cave" (aka the garage) to play with his toys.
A friend "spilled the beans" to me the other day. She knows we are into cars like her husband is...... he bought an Aston. I offered to drive it home for them
LOL...I've absolutely no problems with hubby and his cars. I'm a car gal thru and thru...My dad worked for GM for 30 some odd years.... so I grew up appreciating them..I tease DH all the time, saying the only reason he married me was to get the GM employee discount on all the vettes we have purchased
Both of our kids are into cars as well...in the early years we took on quite a few muscle cars that we restored back to cherry condition....the kids playpens were always right there in the mist of it all.
When I lived near downtown Fort Worth I used to periodically see a black Ferrari like that. It was like a ghost or something. You just don't see cars like that every day and after it has passed you wonder if you really saw it. LOL
A gent that lived near my house had an old classic red Ferrari (I'm not really up on my years and models of Ferrari's or I'd be able to tell you what it was) that was similar to the ever popular one from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Of the 6 years that I lived there I can only say I saw it on the road one time. But periodically I saw him rubbing it with a diaper (movie reference...it probably wasn't a diaper ) in his garage or driveway.
You just don't see cars like that every day and after it has passed you wonder if you really saw it.
unless you live in miami. unfortunately after a while you just stop appreciating those cars because you see them every day. whenever i walked to the gym i would see an r8, a lambo and a ferrari on my way... and i didn't even live in an exclusive area.
