1 - I go to make a very quick trip into town to pick up a relative that in any other car I'd go shoeless, phoneless and walletless.

"I'm off now, back in a couple of minutes, I'm going in the Masterati"
Hmm, better get my shoes.....and phone.....and wallet, just in case. :)

2 - You spend just as much time watching other road users and pedestrians gawping at your car than you do watching the road.

3 - From number 2, you're disappointed when they don't look!

3 - Any more........?

4. You spend as much time looking at it's own reflection in buildings and other vehicles as you do looking at the temp gauge/oil gauge and dashboard binnacle wondering if anything is going to go wrong!

5. People stop you at the fuel station, supermarkets etc to tell you how stunning the car is and gawp in amazement when you tell them how cheap they are!

6. You pick a route that goes through as many tunnels, bridges and narrow high sided streets as possible.
7. In all these locations you feel the need to change down regardless of if it is really necessary

8. If you smoke you have suddenly change from nipping into the back garden to standing on your drive just to look at it .

9. If the first thing you do before pulling away is drop both windows an inch and smile

10.you drive rather a piece of beauty than a car
11.you feel special, not because they're looking at you, but becasue this piece of engineering is the effect of your hard work
12. you need more than 120 euros to fill in the tank
13. you feel that all your world are those two paddles behind the wheel
14. (Andy's comment, but was not numbered) You want to lick it clean every night...

All of the above, except... I can't ever go for a short trip in the Maserati, let alone a very quick trip into town.

15. you feel it's unfair on the car to not let all of the fluid get fully up to temperature, just as it's equally unfair to not get the battery back to fully charged and make sure everything in the (Maserati) world is as it should be.
16. you believe time should be divided equally between spouse and Maserati (Spouse usually agrees that Maserati gets more attention...and she's correct).

19. Every mile is a smile

20. You cannot help but drop down a couple of gears and floor the throttle through every tunnel.

21. You tolerate lowlife like Benny because they also own a Maserati!

22. the first time you start her up, is just like the very first time you test drove the car, the feeling and the buzz it gave you.

25. Despite the fact that you say you will let a mate drive it you really cringe and pray that they don't hurt it and are relieved when you get back behind the wheel!

26. You think that when something is wrong with her that she is being a spiteful ***** for taking her out in the rain once or for buying another one and relegating her from the heated garage to the cold driveway.

27. When people ask what you do? You respond "I drive a Maserati"

28. When people ask what you drive you sheepishly tell them a Maserati as you don't want them to think you are a lottery winner!

1. You have a look out of the office window to the car park just to see if its still there!
2. An error light just means its got character, and you shrug and say "its italian"
3. You find your self on the open road wondering how long you could keep driving before you run out of money or some one noticed.

29 Your mechanic tells you he's just taken out a great pension scheme after you told him you bought a Maserati.
(I told him I had just cancelled mine).
