Lets say you have a nearly blind, 90 year old grandmother who lives in another city. She calls you one day to tell you that she bought herself a brand new Ferrari convertible, and that when she is no longer able to drive, due to her eyesight she is going to give it to you.
-
Now, you have not actually seen this Ferrari yet, (because, she lives in another city) but you know and love your grandmother, and you do not doubt that she is telling you the truth, both, about the purchase of the Ferrari and that you will get it one day soon. You do know what a Ferrari looks like because you have seen similar models before. In fact, you used to have your very own Ferrari, but the lease ran out on it and you had to give it to a Ferrari dealer who lives in Minnesota.
-
Then one day she tells you that while she was driving her Ferrari to church she busted out the front axle, so she will have to get it in the shop, but that if that did not happen she would have given it to you last fall. You are disappointed of course, but If the axle is busted out, its busted out, and again, you understand and love your Grandmother and do not doubt her.
-
Finally this fall she tells you that she is going to be bringing you the Ferrari and you are quite excited, except the first weekend when you think she is going to be bringing it down to you, she arrives, and is in her very serviceable Ford F150. When you rush outside to meet her, you again give her the benefit of the doubt. In fact her excuse was simply that she Forgot to come down in the Ferrari, but that she would make the trip again next weekend and would no doubt remember to bring it then.
-
"Okay Grandma, I am just glad the F150 got you here with out any major problems."
-
She tells you about that one time when she had that thing to the rails on the way to church, during the spring, which again, builds the excitement, but alas, the next two weekends after the Ford F-150 weekend , there are other excuses on why the Ferrari has not yet been delivered.
-
You hope that your Grandmother was not lying to you about the existence of the Ferrari, and you wonder if maybe she actually bought some kind of a kit car with a Vw 4 cylinder engine by mistake, and is just to proud to admit to you her error yet, still hoping herself that was not the case and that it is a real honest to goodness Ferrari.
-
You don't have much hope that she will bring it this weekend, but maybe that first Saturday in October, when you plan to meet up with her in Alabama for a big old Reunion of sorts, maybe that is when she will unveil the Ferrari, or maybe that is when you find out it was just a kit car that looks kind of like a Ferrari from afar, but in reality is powered by a VW bug engine. -
-
Andre Debose are you the Ferrari we have heard so much about and not yet seen? Because Percy Harvin was the Ferrari that we used to have, that is now gone on to the Minnesota Vikings. Two weeks from now, it sure would be nice to be able to drive around in the Ferrari over in Alabama and not find out definitively that it was just a kit car. Although in all honesty lets take that baby out this Saturday against KY if you are for real.
