re: Would you use a FA that drove a Ferrari?

Some Ferraris are legit enthusiast cars. Everyone has hobbies.

Exactly! Although some people do buy certain cars (watches, houses, clothes, handbags, etc.) to project an image or because they’re trying to make up for some perceived deficit within themselves (I have a friend like that), others buy certain types (not just brands) because they (we!) like to take our cars to the track and flog them. That’s probably a lot more common with Porsche and Corvette owners than Ferrari and Lamborghini owners. But I see more than a few Ferraris and Lamborghinis toasting their tires at VIR than many might expect. Going to the track a few times a year, and pretend that I’m Ayrton Senna, has probably kept me from being a breaking headline story on CNN.

But with that said, yeah, when I see (what looks like) a stripper in Las Vegas driving a Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche or Vette (probably leased)… that’s most definitely image projection or soothing an internal issue. But still… to each his/her own.

If your FA was smart he’d park a 7 year old Accord out front and leave his Ferrari at home.
