Santa brought me a racing suit!
I told my wife that I truly wanted nothing this year for both my birthday and Christmas since I am pouring a bunch of money into the 986 to make it a Spec Boxster.
She totally caught me off guard this morning with a big box. I opened it up and low and behold there was a Sparco suit in it!!!!!! I have been wearing a partial nomex flight suit for my DEs but now that I'm really stepping up the car, she thought I should have a real suit. Thing fits perfectly!
The only peculiar thing is that while the suit looks perfectly new, someone filled out the name tag on the carrying bag with "Juan F. Alonso, Ferrari, Red." Isn't that odd? Is it the love child of Juan Fangio and Fernando Alonso?
Anyhow, I am very excited. I still can't believe she surprised me with it!
Gratuitous pic (yeah, I hadn't showered and had on something worse underneath)

Dave, it's a good thing she ordered the "relaxed fit" option for the suit legs so you have ample room for your "3rd leg."
Nice looking suit!

I've watched it 3 times since last night. Taking a break from it now!

Congrats! Sparco multilayer suits are comfy even when it's hot. Looking good. 
I must confess I only wear mine when required like when racing @ LeMons. I feel kind of weird wearing the suit to DEs.
