“rrrari”: hear me roar…

“Bardi in a ‘Rari, diamonds all over my body.” Cardi B in “Bartier Cardi”

A week ago, I announced to Abosede that I was going to get a piercing.

“Really?!”, she exclaimed.

Apart from driving a ‘Rari without a front license plate (which is illegal in Ontario), it is accurate to consider me law-abiding and conservative.

Tattoos, piercings, rings and wristwatches do not exist on my person.

I cheekily explained to Abosede that I was going to get four (4) piercings into my twenty (22) year-old and virginal front bumper.

After a traffic stop on July 23, 2022 & a $110.00 (CAD) fine, driving the ‘Rari without the front plate created unease whenever I saw a police officer.

Getting the front plate holder was going to take care of that.

And now, with a front plate holder installed, it will be possible to have a proper personalized plate.

It was my hope that the previous plate “CTPZ 937” was going to allow me to fly under the radar, and it mostly did…

It was time to proudly wear the personalized plate inspired by Cardi B.

Today, my friends at Ferrari of Ontario reluctantly drilled four (4) holes into the bumper of my 2000 Ferrari 360 Modena. They offered solutions of a plate holder in the tow-hook or using Velcro to affix the plate in place…

Anything that would prevent the front bumper from losing its virginity.

Alas, I explained that I was at peace with the decision and I had made my peace with the car gods!

These photos capture some of the events of today.

Included are photographs of RRRARI “photo-bombing” my shoot of the (2020 - Present) McLaren Elva at McLaren Toronto.

Also included are some “snapshot” images taken during my quick visit to the Alfa Romeo and Maserati of Toronto dealership, to view a 2022 Maserati MC20 Coupe in the showroom.

Photographs of the McLaren Elva & the Maserati MC20 will be posted soon.
