But come to think of it, is it actually Ferrari's fault that you cannot use their auto because you have a traffic jam? Here are some possibilities, some may apply to our context, some may not:
- Maybe we did not get a Ferrari, but an Echo. Vendor Marketing was so good and convinced the Customer their Echo IS a new model of Ferrari. Not knowing the difference, the customer just bought it.
- Maybe we did get a Ferrari, but no instruction manual, or no driver license is present to use it. Nobody knows that you need to shift the gears manually. So the car never moves above 20km/hr. "Hey, it's a Ferrari it should auto-shift like my Camry" they think.
- Maybe there is no suitable fuel for that thing. You get the car, but you cannot use it. The Vendor "forgot" that it needs special fuel, not available in this market.
- Maybe there IS a traffic jam, and the Ferrari is just a very bad choice in the first place! Come on, you know how traffic is bad here, why get a Ferrari? Get a bike and you'll reach faster! But hey, "a bike will only go 30km/hr max, the Ferrari will easily reach 200km/hr", they explain. Question is: "where can you actually go beyond 30km/hr"?
I did not realise how strong that statement was until a few minutes later. But, the point is, I should not blame Ferrari for building that car, I should blame the guy who bought it and told me to outrun the bike in the traffic jam.

Niiiiice... The best car isn't always the best choice afterall. Besides, you can test a Ferrari in a traffic jam if you modyfied it extensively such that it won't look like a Ferrari anymore; instead, it would look like a Land Cruiser! That's what we are doing right now, isn't it?
Something to laugh about & cry in the same time, this is all I have to say I guess. We are losing so many things … our work & our life is really pressured by such nonsense from such stupid agents.
Guys,
I do agree with all what you have said so far. However, let us focus on utilizing what we have of resources now (i.e. Ferrari, Echo, a bike..ect), so we can send a clear message to the decision makers.
The venodr "Thinks" that we got a Ferrari. Ok, let us work in a way that shows although we get the Ferrari, an although we have a traffic jam, the vendor can always send us a mini car or bike as a temporary "efficient" solution, till we can solve the traffic issue. The vendor should support its client, since the customer is always right, isn't it?? We have to show that we "LOVE" driving your Ferrari, but please give us some acceptable solutions now, till we can get back to our love.
For the decision makers from our side, we can always fight for better road infrastructe, so we can use the "valuable" Ferrari efficinetly. Let them feel that they have made a big investment, yet, they were not ready enough for it. Let us show them, we don't know alot about the internal and undiscovered features of this Ferrari !!!
The moral: We have been complaining alot, but didn't take any real 'matured' actions . sorry guys, no offense, but we have to agree to convey a lear message to to both parties.
Cheers,
Hussain Sayed
