Default 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)

Very nice, Dave. That suit should be worth 2 sec/lap.

Awesome gift, It is great when your racing is understood by your wife. A big porsche emblem should fix any association with the prancing horse

Congrats! You've got awesome cars, projects (I've read through your build before), & apparently an awesome wife! I wish one of my girlfriends would give me something cool like that.

... By the way, are you a cattle farmer or something?

I wish I was a cattle farmer! I used to be in to all things bovine so I've got all sorts of cow stuff around the house.
And I am very lucky to have an awesome wife!

Yeah Red goes with anything associated with speed.

Are you sure that YOU'RE not Santa?

Enjoy! Get it embroidered; way better than patches.
