2018 Ferrari 488 Spider
The Story
Hired for my 30th birthday. Three days in the Italian Dolomites — Rosso Corsa, roof down, mountain passes that seemed designed specifically for this car. My friends thought I'd lost my mind. They weren't wrong. Some experiences you don't need to own to carry forever.
“Three days. Forty-eight hairpins. One car I'll never forget and never owned.”
Three days. Dolomites. Roof down the entire time. I kept thinking — I don't need to own this. I just need to remember it. And I always will.
Key Milestones
Walked out of the rental office and there it was. Rosso Corsa. Roof already down. I stood there for five minutes.
48 hairpin bends. The Ferrari took every one like it was born there. I was laughing the entire way up.
Parked at the top of a pass and watched the sun go down over the Dolomites. Engine ticking as it cooled. Perfect silence.
Handed back the keys. The guy at the desk said 'good trip?' I just nodded. There were no words.

The car that started it all. Dad drove this to every little league game, every school play, every family road trip. The AC never worked right but we never cared — windows down, radio up.
Mom's trusty Camry. She drove this to work every single day for five years. We called it 'The Silver Bullet'. It survived two fender benders and one very unfortunate parking garage incident.
My first car. Saved up for two years working weekends. The day I drove it off the lot I cried — actual tears. Candy apple red, 5.0 V8, and absolutely zero practicality. Perfect.
