#begging my dad to stop being so much cooler than me #me: I get into f1 #dad: Have I ever told you about that time I drove a Ferrari on Circuito di Fiorano #f1 #formula 1 #ferrari #luca di montezemolo #I guess #my dad if I ever became religious: Have I told you about that time I met God #me at 21: maybe vroom vroom cars can bring me out of depression #my dad at (almost) 60: oh yes minor anectodote I met the guy Niki Lauda won two championship with #I can't stress enough how this is so fucking unreal my family does not come even close to the kind of money LdM makes #We are NOT the kind of people who would casually hang with a millionaire #Also I genuinely believe my dad's friend must have been sketchy to know LdM #I also feel like I can never read my two eye anymore like even the tag of an ao3 fic with Luca di Montezemolo #'Luca di Montezemolo/Niki Lauda' you mean my dad's friend's friend????????? #now I feel like I have a weird distant relationship with this guy #like I know I don't know him and maybe it's my problem that I think of old formula 1 people like that #but I sort of divorce mentally from the fact that old formula 1 grid are actual people they're like distant characters from a complex #mythology #and now I feel like if I was a paesant in ancient Greece and my dad just told me he partied with Dionysius once #does it make sense #rip LdM I don't feel comfortable watching your pictures from the 70s thinking slay twink anymore #I will miss saying you have American Next Top Model hips #do you think it's ethically correct to objectify some twink from the 70s if your dad met him #I know he is still alive now and he's old and stuff I don't care there ard two Luce di Montezemolo in my head one is the one still alive #and I don't give a fuck about him the other is still photogtaph from the 70s and gives me gender envy
