Ferrari is my dream car. So much so that while I have had the opportunity to drive many, and own a couple, I always passed as I believed the dream was better than owning or even driving the car. Until today. My oldest friend of 54 years called me to come over to his office. He has been in the high end car business and collector since his early 20's. During that time this was only the 2nd time he has called to show me something. The first time was a Veyron a bucket list car to be sure. So we met at his office and under a red cover he had a this.

Ferrari 812GTS

He handed me the keys and offered me the drivers seat. I was torn. I initially refused not wanting to give up my fantasy; as surely no car could live up to the dream I had built up in my head and lived with for 50 years. Turns out I am a weak man and very wrong; The car drove better than my wildest fantasy, surpassed every expectation and am blessed to add it to my bucket list.

My first drive of a Ferrari with my oldest friend.
Yeah, I can no longer say "I have never driven a Ferrari" but boy was it worth it.
