Any G-D time I want,Man it is so strange that my little bubba leaves his mk-11 replica water pistol in my car,cause I reach down to pick it up and say to myself,he left his watergun in my car again today.It is so incidental that some scubag rice-dropping rap gang bangers,see me and for some reason they just go away...

Haven't had many chances to drive my Mondial, since I got it 4 weeks ago. Being serviced and repaired as we speak.

I think I will drive it whenever traffic is light. In Hong Kong, traffic can get really ugly.

I am not so worried about ricers in HK because there is not point in trying to race a Skyline or Evo 7 in a Mondial. All I know is that by virtue of driving a Ferrari, you gain immediate attention and respect from other drivers. I got my first hand experience of police respect when I took the Ferrari out for a spin a couple of weeks ago.

ive only been in contact with 2 people who gave me a look or made a comment like "whos car is that??" I say its mine and they gasp..no one has ever asked me to race but sometimes when i see other cars on the road they come up real close behind me to look at the car.....but mostly i am the only one on the road..when i park the car at the video store, it doesnt generate a lot of attention because of how deserted the parking lot is..so i havnt had to deal with much

I tend to drive on the out skirts of the city to avoid traffic not rice burners. I drive on the twisty roads anytime its sunny and 70 or up. The nice thing about my location is in 20min in one direction I can be downtown. 10min in the other direction I can be in the hills with forest and farms and lots of open road. So far I really haven't been to another city similar except maybe the D.C. area.

Willis I live in a suberb east of boston...I have only seen 1 ricer in my town in the last year (no joke) so i dont have a lot of contact with them.. also najib and Magoo, I dont feel like a criminal when i drive the car, but I feel that when i drive the ferrari, that its a personal and a private thing, and the roads are always empty sunday-thursday night after 10pm..so thats another main reason...i dont like to be slowed down by other drivers :-)

Has it really come to this, That some of you Ferrari owners are afraid to drive your car when you want to because of some snot nose kid in a rice burner. I can't believe it. Ignore the dumb bastards!

When I get home from work after a rough or frustrating day...right at dusk, especially here in Florida with the top off, 85 degrees...doesn't get any better!

I try and drive mine whenever possible, but I especially enjoy the weekend mornings. I've always loved the feeling of the city early, before anyone is out, and everything is so quiet. Now I just enjoy it a little more!

Isn't it a shame that we have to drive these beautiful machines when nobody else is around for fear of vandalism or harassment - almost like theives. Like we've done something wrong by buying them. Just goes to show what the world is coming to.

Same here, Steve. We get up early on Sunday mornings before anyone else hits the road and go for our 50-60 mile cruise.

Dont know about you guys but our favorite time to go for a drive is early Sunday mornings for coffee or whatever else and before all the crazy drivers hit the road.

Don't know about your area but we get a lot of ricers and immature drivers prowling after dark. Take a Ferrari out after dark here and you're guaranteed to have a swarm of these guys after you.

We ALWAYS drive our car after dark..most of the time its after 9PM, very rarely its before that...We get gas after 9PM..hit the highway after 9PM...we get the least attention after 9PM :-)

When do you guys drive your Fcars?
