Let's assume that FCHAT is a poor representative of the majority of Ferrari owners. As a somewhat ambivalent Ferrari driver, I will say that it does not even remotely define the experience for me. The FORDGTFORUM, on the the other hand, is one of my favorite parts of owning my GT.
There is a story about Lincoln regarding his anger with one of his generals over a failure to take action. Lincoln wrote a scathing letter to this general and then placed it in his desk drawer. He came back to it a few days later, and after reading it, tossed it into trash, thankful that he did not send it in anger. The process of writing the letter was apparently cathartic to him.
I can't tell you how many times I have read some of the drivel on FCHAT and then typed up a biting response. Once its all composed and ready, I read it again, then delete it and don't post anything. It feels good, without dignifying the goofiness with a response.
I love the license plate(s) in question, and no true car guy who understands Le Mans in 1966 and 67 can see it without at least a smile and a wink. Brilliant.
As to the other photos of Ferraris and their modest, understated owners in this delightful thread, all I can say is thanks for the belly laugh. I think the best money I ever spent was becoming a lifetime member of this awesome site. When considered in relation to the camaraderie and entertainment it provides, its a true value.
