Looked at a Ferrari today

... but they were eyeglass frames. I am needing to wear my reading glasses more when I use the computer. So I was checking out some frames at Costco, and saw some Ferrari frames, they were very neat looking, and they were very comfortable

I am saving to eventually buy one...



I figure if I sock away $250 a month like I have for 2.5 years now, I will have enough to buy one in like 15 years...

I already do that, but I am too cheap, I will just buy the glasses when I get around to it

You're not alone ... I got specs and redi-readers in every car, office desk drawer and other places.

For "speed" reading.

They're nice frames, a little fickle for cold, wet weather, not exactly dependable, require quite a bit of maintenance but the absolute "bomb" for picking up librarians.
