[DeTomaso] NPC, Countach->Ferrari

I hadn't heard the bit about the closed stored.

I also didn't realize it was that long ago.

Time flies like an arrow.

Fruit flies like a banana.

>Actually that event was a couple years ago. In their defense the event was a Sunday morning breakfast at a restaurant in a shopping center. The designated parking area the restaurant owner reserved for them included some handicapped spaces for the not open stores in the center and as you say someone saw it, shot video and sent it to one of the local TV stations. Of course the news cast failed to mention that the stores were all closed... never let facts get in the way of a juicy story I guess.

>Now, there was an event about 6 months ago where the Ferrari club was on the news.  Their event was at a restaurant, and many of the members parked in handicapped spots.  They said the restaurant owner said it was okay, but that's never really okay.  Someone saw what was going on, and called the news and police pronto.
