No Ferraris for me in Corry Journal essay
In a weekend phone talk from California, Dave bought a Ferrari, a lavish car his wife Sheila had to park outside for security as he moved from a VW with 125000 miles. The speaker rejects Ferrari culture, preferring simple joys like field walks, Indian artifacts, a sparkling stream, grandchildren, and a wife at home, asserting wealth and status do not attract him. He calls himself a cod and embraces plain life over luxury, noting Dave can have his Ferrari while he pursues family and everyday experiences.
