This past weekend we received a package on our front doorstep. However, it was not addressed to us. It had our address on it, but not our name. Since we are renting, this happens fairly often. We usually just put a note on it for the mailman to "return to sender" or throw it away if it is junk mail...but this package was different... there was a small yellow icon with a black horse in the middle printed on the package with the word "Ferrari" written under the horse. Rob immediately turned into a little boy and asked me for a razor blade and some clear tape. He said "technically, 66% of the information on the package says it's mine," referring to the two lines that are our address (the other 33% is the name the package is addressed to...since Rob started law school, statements like this are not uncommon). He carefully opened the package and...
Wha-la! The Official Ferrari Magazine wrapped in bubble wrap! Aside from a check for $100,000, this was the next best thing to be dropped on our doorstep! The magazine came with a letter welcoming the "addressed" to the Ferrari club and offering them a subscription to the Ferrari Magazine... only $375 a year and you get four magazines. Oh and if you wanted you could also register your Ferrari's... but only up to five of them. (who are these people?) Since we usually throw away magazines we get at our apartment that are not ours, we decided not to send this one back. Merry early Christmas!

Kev is green with envy right now and wants to know what he needs to do to be so lucky... Congratulations!
So we must've been a car house before we moved in. We just got the Maserati catalog...weird. Maybe one day they'll send a free car.
