Just say the truth: it's not a car And those who don't understand that shouldn't be be making comments such as those. But, out of curiosity, I would love to know, and hopefully I won't derail the thread too much here, what things DO you like to hear from F fanatics when they are checking out your Ferrari?
Replies A) "Its a shame you cant appreciate art & I think your personality is disgusting" B)"Please give your husband my condolensces for having to put up with you" If she answers she's divorced or single then you can say " Well, I guess we both know why now."
you should have said I think its disdusting you spent that much money on plastic surgery and you still look like beat up dick head.
I am writing some of these responses down for future reference. In fact, there aught to be an online guide on f-chat. Somthing like; " If idiot says or asks Question A, then respond with any of the following, depending on your mood". Could be a good resource. Maybe put it in the Rossa area only, eh? ;-)
Thanks for the replies guys, very funny! I knew I would find some good humor here. Imgunn, keep at it brother. You're right, the majority of people get where they are at because of hard work and determination. I have failed more times then I have probably succeeded but I kept going. You will get to wherever it is that you want to go just believe and keep working. Peace.
Now, now. Keep in mind, she is my sister, and the oldest one at that. However, when people do make negative comments about my car, I tend to take the high road and humor them. After all, "wise men talk beacuse they have something to say, fools because they want to say something."
About price: I like to give the number in $/hp, which works out to be actually cheeper than most new SUVs that people drive. Another thing that happens all the time is that I get chased down the highway. Its really annoying.
I get chased on the highway too. I usually let them hang around for a bit , once they see I'm not going to play they usually blast off in a big hurry. have people do burn outs around me sometimes, its rather disconcerting when you dont expect it. If they get obnoxious on the highway I downshift & leave them behind in the "Orgasmic porn star wail" of my flat 12 great line RussianM3dude LOL
This has to be the funniest post I've ever read! After five minutes, I'm still laughing and it's getting worse...
Pulled up to a stoplight one time. There was a guy next to me in a new Navigator. He was talking on his cell and glanced at me out of the corner of his eye. Then he starts saying in his phone... "oh great, some putz is next to me in a Ferrari. Why would someone spend a hundred grand just to make up for a small penis..." I didn't have my redneck attitude that day or I would have pointed out that his Navigator was twice as big and expensive as my car. Just laughed to myself... We both knew who was really making up for a small unit!
I have had someone hit met with the "You must have a small penis" my answer was "Yeah he is a lil feller, til he gets hard". The one I HAAAATE is "Hey let me drive it". If they are being a smartass, no joke, I have answered many times "You don't understand the magnitude of the question you just asked me. That's like if I were to ask you 'Hey let me F#CK your wife'". But if any of my friends ask the same question I answer "Someone once told me not to lend something to someone that can't afford to replace it".
Not particularly annoying. Just a siloy way to strike up a conversation. I was checking the tire pressure on my 360 yesterday at the gas station when a fellow in an E430 convertible drove up and told me my inspection sticker was expired. I told him I didn't think so (Dec '04). that is when he started asking questions, etc.. Fairly nice fellow but, he could have been more creative. Cheers
I love your idea about quoting the per horsepower cost when asked, "how much did the car cost"? Let's see.... the Boxer cost me about $225 per horsepower and my Fiat was only $25!!.... Talk about bang for the buck!
The "How much did it cost" question is my least favourite but I try to be humourful about it but never actualy say,my other gripe is the "I don"t really like ferrari"s that are not red(my previous and present were Chiaro and now nurburgering argento)I say well thats up to you but I never bought it with you in mind!!
