    Thankfully here in Silicon Valley, there are enough exotics on the streets on a daily basis that you don't get the question very often.

    I like the "too much" answer.. which works well at a stop light, but I've been cornered at gas stations in the past and I'll just tell them the truth.

    Not a Ferrari question but related.
    When filling up a brand new S65 at a gas station was approached by some middle age woman (driving a Prius with all kinds of stickers,Obama 2012,Stop the War,etc).
    She launched a tirade about rich guys driving expensive,gas guzzling,Mother Earth destroying cars.
    When she paused to catch her breath,I quickly explained that I was just a driver for the Chairman of "Illinois for Obama".
    She looked like she choked on something,stood for a few seconds just staring at me and walked back to her car without another word.

    Did not think that would work in Oceanside CA. Definitely would not work in central/south Florida. They would just say "¿cuánto te costó Ferrari?"

    I bought my F430 just in time for winter storage, so I've never gotten the question with it yet. I have gotten it about both of my Dinos. I usually respond: "Does it really matter what I paid or what it's worth? I'm enjoying it, and have no intention of selling it." That normally stops people cold, without actually letting them know how presumptuous and vapid I find their question. They can then use their own imaginations to answer their question. Fred

    I've had a few close friends ask and like someone said above, they were always surprised that it was as "cheap" as it was. One of them jokingly said he was disappointed that it wasn't over 200k, and was now less cool because of it.

    Randoms on the street, I've used "cheaper than it was for the last guy who had it". I like the $90/pound one though, although it's closer to $50 for me.

    ## years of hard work is good as well, although I suppose it could offend as everyone thinks they work hard.

    Someone at a gas station once asked me if my car cost me a million dollars. I said, "Not quite," :)

    I like this answer (taken from the Rolex forum): "I recieved it as a gift from your wife, along with a note that said, "Thanks for the first orgasm I've had in five years!'" :D

    Hmmm, you may have a point there, I would then answer " Menos de lo que piensas " (lol )

    That's plain rude, and could get you assaulted if you said it to the wrong (insecure) guy.

    It may be rude but its as funny as f**k....

    Along the your mum/cookie route, you could reply:
    "This is just my DD, if you think this is nice you should see my garage. Your wife gives me a new toy every time I rock her world"

    I apologize if some don't find that funny but thats just my SOH.

    He said he liked that particular answer after reading it on a Rolex forum. He never said he used it. In fact, I doubt he would.

    If the person who asks is annoying, "Quarter Million" usually does the job.

    It is a rude question similar to asking someone how much they paid for their house. After almost five years of ownership though, I'm somewhat used to it so now I have a couple canned responses.

    It depends on my mood but sometimes I just say I stole it and other times I say it's cheaper than most BMW's. I like the gay porn response though...might start using that one.
