These Supercar Owners are Pretty Okay

As you may recall, I think most people that own supercars are jerks. It's not that I think they're jerks for owning those rolling works of art, just that the poor cars draw a type that I generally try to avoid.

Now that we're past that, I want to highlight one of the exceptions I mentioned. I stumbled upon this group, and thought it was worth sharing with all of you. What they're doing is great, and while I participate in more pedestrian charity rallies, this one is really special. Called the FOG Rally, this is a Ferrari Owners Group spinoff, Ferrari Owners Charitable Foundation (FOCF) hosted rally based out of Silicon Valley. Each year, in recent years, this rally has raised nearly one million dollars for charities like Make-A-Wish. With all sorts of high-profile sponsors and vendors, and tons of media involvement, these guys have enough clout to really draw support from the uber-rich in the surrounding areas, and that makes them, in my book, a pretty great group with a great cause. Best of all, they feature some truly incredible and rare cars, all ripping down a carefully selected course from Silicon Valley to Lake Tahoe; this run is definitely on my bucket list.


These supercar owners are definitely okay in my book, they count as cool people. I think an essential part of enjoying whatever privileges you have achieved in life is being able to use them to help others. What better way to give back a bit of the privilege of owning a Ferrari than using it to participate in charity rallies such as this one?
