Ok it's Story time.

On last saturday around 4:00 I was headed home from the Woodward dream cruise and driving slow and enjoying being an old fart in a real cool car.

We cruised up to the city of pontiac. This is the extreem north end and we turned onto the road leading to the highway (east bound). I notice this new Ferrari F430 Spider F1 on M59 when I was turning but did not think much about it. I started out from the stop and my buddy and I both called our wives to let them know it was time to get the steaks on the grille. When As soon as she picked up the phone I notice the F430 ran along side and wanted to go......I said "hold on a second honey".......my buddy said.. what are you crazy. Then it happened,once I hit second gear then into third and soon after he gave up as we were pulling away like like lightning had poked us in our butt.

I got back on the phone and the words "busted" from the wife (a very car smart women) said you better not be racing the on the street...."oh no honey"....I heard the rpms! I am not stupid!!! oh no honey your not..... I just selected the wrong gear....

The F car came along side and gave me a thumbs up as he excited to I75 north. My buddy looked at me and said what ever possessed you to do that???? I dont know.. it was like a force came over me.......

If I would have got pulled over I would have claimed insanity or sued Ford for building such a mind controlling automobile....:eek

Henry Ford II I bet was smiling
