Ferrari Rentals, Childhood Dreams and Sports Cars

I remember the last time I went shopping for a new car. What I wanted and what I could afford were two entirely different things. Of course, I rationalized it to myself that the sensible mid-sized sedan that I eventually bought was far more practical than the sports car I had my eye on. That didn't mean that I stopped dreaming about driving something special someday. Recently, I stumbled on the chance to do just that when I discovered Ferrari rental services the last time I was in Miami.

When it comes to cars I don’t know very much, but I do know this: if I ever have the chance to slide behind the wheel of a Ferrari, I will do it. It's almost the ultimate “no brainer” for every kid who grew up dreaming about sports cars. So, when I heard about the possibility of a Ferrari on rent I looked into it. At this point, what I thought was a good thing turned into a great thing, because it wasn't just any Ferrari. Who knew there would be a Ferrari 458 rental in Miami? I think I giggled the entire time I was filling out the paperwork and driving that beautiful machine. I know I smiled for a week.

You’re rarely going to find Ferrari rental services. Take it from me, though and when you’re in Miami, do it. You’ll thank me later.

No Dirty T-Shirts at the Rolls Royce Rental

Matching cars with their drivers is a little game I like to play. I often find myself observing cars that are parked outside of a store or business and try to match the car with the owner inside. The domestic and Japanese autos blend in to the crowd.  Similarly, their drivers tend to play it safe in their attire.  One car manufacture pairing that is probably the easiest to identify is Rolls Royce. Their drivers were distinguished dressers.  I think most people believe that Rolls Royce drivers are pompous and pretentious; however, I've found that to be furthest from the truth. I had the luxury of knowing several Rolls Royce drivers and they were entrepreneurs and philanthropists.  I had a random conversation with gentlemen at the airport while he was waiting at the Rolls Royce rental company.  He was in Miami to donate millions of dollars to a children's hospital addition.  I think we dedicate too much time judging others and I feel a person that owns a Rolls Royce is often just a successful person that knows what they want and gets it.

Later that evening I noticed a man dressed in cut off shorts and a ripped up t-shirt in the parking lot. He was smoking a cigarette and had a baseball cap on that read "Winning." I scanned the parking lot and noticed an older Chevy truck in the back row. It had confederate flags in the windows and giant tires that were too big for the truck frame. Did he get into the truck you ask? No. He jumped into the Honda Civic right next to my car. It's not an exact science but it is amusing. One thing is certain, he was not on his way to the Rolls Royce rental company, or any luxury rental, for that matter.
