I parked the car and my wife and I were standing in line at the icecream stand Guy to his wife pointing at the 308 "this is exactly what I was talking about, it would be just like this" Wife "this says Ferrari, you have a fiero" Guy "this is a fiero too, that's just a badge a he put on, I'd have you of those, it would be just the same" Me "You can change all the badges and body panels you want, but that won't make it a Ferrari, unless that's what it was to begin with." Wife rolling her eyes "I told this was a ferrari, you have a Fiero" | ||

Now I don't own a ferrari yet, but I'm ever the one with the quick wit. I'm walking into a hotel with my Ferrari baseball cap on. "Do you own a Ferrari!!??" "Yes, it's out there in the lot, if nobody's stolen it yet." (Goes and looks). Since then I've used this a few more times(sometimes I feel guilty though, kind of like sending somebody on a "snipe hunt"). My .02 Lira | ||

One that made me laugh was when I was driving an F40 near London and a smart arse kid walking with a bunch of his mates shouted out "Oi, I told you to wash my car, not drive it around!" Smart arse! Funny though. Scored him a 3 shift smokey! | ||

My standard responses: "What kind of car is that/do you have?" Generics: It's an Italian mini-van To a Ferrari owner: It's a 328 Club Cab To Fellow Mondial Owner: (secret Mondial Society Response - not revealable, but has something to do with the fusebox  ) | ||

Eangelo, I always love that question "is that thing real?" - I've never said it- but I want to respond - "NO" but the repair bills sure are. JJ | ||

I was driving the 250 PF and an aquaintance saw me and asked if I got rid of my Ferrari (usually sees me in the 512TR). I explained the 250 was a Ferrari also. He said it sure didn't look like one. Damn that Magnum PI show! | ||

Q: Is that a "Magnum" car? A: No, just a carafe. Q: How fast does it go? A: Just as fast as the SUV in front of it ... but I don't slow down for turns. Q: What the hell is that? A: (Yoda accent) No, the Diablo a Lamborghini is. But the weirdest question was the Spring day I drove the old Alfa Spider to work -- and was asked if I traded the Ferrari in on "another exotic".  | ||

Up in the small town of Arlington, Washington (4,000) on the very day I brought my car home a kid, parked in his Honda across the street fell out of his door yelling "Nice Ferrari Dude!". The kid must have been 16 but obviously knew his cars. After seeing the Prancing Horse on the back of my 308 a lady really did ask me if it was 'The New Mustang'. I replied that, " NO, it's a Ferrari and they had the horse first" Couldn't help it. | ||

Robert, yes it was a "sight" that I won't ever forget. There were about 6-8 kids in the group, crossing in front of me near the airport at 188th and Hwy 99. They must have planned out their Wayne's World routine while waiting for the light to change. It made my day! Much better than the jerk that screamed "D-I-C-K" at me while I was driving through a questionable neighborhood one day. By the tone of his scream, I knew tht he hadn't mistaken me for his friend "Richard" ... | ||

"May I ask what that thing cost?" I answer: "Well, it cost me my lovely first wife, a three bedroom brick home, and twelve year's of child support." and then if I think it's appropriate given the audience, I add: "Of course, I've had more sex inside this car, in five years, than I had inside the marriage in twelve." That one always slays 'em. | ||

1. The cops pull me over when I was not doing anything wrong. OF COURSE! It is night time. The cop asks if I know why he pulled me over to which I answer, "Yeah you probably want to check out the car." He pauses for a good minute trying to think of something to write on the ticket. His partner's flashlight goes on from the sidewalk and lights up the F1 reverse shift lever and asks, "How do you shift that thing?" I answer, " If you tell him not to write me a ticket I will answer you" 2. The kid in the Honda (with the tailpipe that looks like a trombone, revving obnoxiously while I attempt to make a phonecall)"Hey Hey Hey (Rev Rev Rev) Mister (Rev Rev)Hey you wanna race for pinks?" 3. The complete idiot in front of the liquor store..."Nice Firebird" 4. The Audi/Volvo driver hands folded behind the back acting civilized..."May I ask how much you paid for this?" 5. Same Audi/Volvo guy...I have a friend who has a Ferrari. He has a Mo DEE nah. Is that what this is too? 6. Snapshots (while parked) when the guy tells his girlfriend to sit on the fender!!!

My favorite, positive Ferrari response, was a group of teenagers strolling through a crosswalk in front of my car at an intersection. Suddenly, they all got down on their knees, right in front of the car and started bowing and chanting, "We're not worthy, we're not worthy"... ala Wayne's World movies.... I about busted a gut laughing so hard! | ||

At a stop light an SUV with mother and daughter roll down the window and ask "So is that car a babe magnet??" I say "I guess not, you're still over there!" Everybody laughs as the light goes green. Some folks dig it, others throw bricks. So it goes. | ||

Mike, Bruce's post was in jest (whether it really happened or not); Robert's initial post didn't request others to post Ferrari-related quotes they like or heard or whatever... He was just sharing a Ferrari-related quote with us... The rest of us just chimed in with quotes we liked... This happens all the time and now it's easily perceivable that you've a hard on for Mr. Wellington... Let's drop it, mkay...? Yeah, thanks. | ||

I was stopped at a light in Seattle in my yellow 308 when this kid and his girl friend pulled up next to me in a van. He say's "OH! DUDE! I AM SO IN AWE! I said, "If you think this is cool look behind me." There sits Bob Oglesby in his black TR. The kid looks back and starts squirming in his seat. I thought he was going to pee.! Q. OH DUDE! IS IT YOURS? A. YUP, YOU MIGHT SAY THIS IS MY GIRL FRIEND. ........and the light turned green. Bob and took off up the on ramp to I-5.smokin'! So fun! DJ | ||

Bruce, it doesn't take an MBA (and I do have one) to see you take almost any questioning comment and turn it into a personal attack and/or name calling rather than a civil response. It's very predictable. I thought this time might be different. | ||
