Funniest/Stupidest comments you have received about your Ferrari

I let strangers sit in my spider. They like to have their picture taken. So far all have been women.

A friend lets people sit in his spider at car shows. Charges $10 and gives the money to charity.

I let people sit in my spider as well, though I could never dream of charging people to sit (for charity of course, even then). I hesitate to think about the looks on peoples' faces when I tell them it'll cost $10.

It's funny to see how quickly people will form a line around your car once they hear you have offered to let people sit, either at a C&C or other type of show.

 

kids only and only to sit in the drivers seat, no drive. the ones with jaw dropped looks and not holding onto ice cream cones.

 

Nothing like the look on a kid's face when you offer them a chance to sit in a Ferrari.
May be the best part of any show.

 

Clever man!

Kind regards,

Nuno.

 

As further evidence that in general most people don't know what model is which, I was parking today and 2 guys asked me what model my 360 was. When I told them it was a 360 they said "we were both wrong ". I then asked what they thought it was, one thought it was an Enzo and the other an F40.

 

I was pumping gas into the 308 a few days ago and a guy asked if it was an F40. Most of the time people think it's a Testarossa. 😄

 

Hot babes, free rides, its that simple.

 

I only get old, bald men interesting in riding along. Hot babes look on, might even behave fairly/openly flirtatious and comment, but usually don't ask for a ride.

Kind regards,

He puts a sign on the windshield which states the fee and the charity. Some scholarship for disadvantaged children. He is on the board of his alma mater. It's legit IMVHO.

I gave people rides around the Nurburgring in my 2002 Z06 but wouldn't give a kid a ride when stopped by the park.

 

The fact that the kid comes up basically to ask you for a ride is a big turn-off.

 

You never know what is on the bottom of a strangers shoe.

 

Hey, don't feel bad about not letting random people ride with you. Too much risk for no upside for you.

 

Unless its a Hot Babe with big..........

 

.... personality?
.... hair?
.... shoes to fill?

I give up.

 

Well, that's a different kind of "up"side...

 

Boyfriend with a gun?

 

Its not a Ferrari its a Fiat, the old Spanish man said, as I was driving out the Parking lot, No I said its a Dino GT4, Yes the man said but it was made in the Fiat Factory, No I said its a Dino Ferrari and in was made a Ferrari to fit Enzo Ferrari. No it a Fiat the man said!

Oh I said I better get a refund! ;-/

 

What an absurd comment!

There's a Lancia Thema 8.32 with a "by Ferrari" badge on the engine. That doesn't make it a Ferrari. The same way a Dino is a Ferrari on its own right.

Kind regards,

Nuno.

 

I often get the flip side of that with "is that the Magnum car?", and have to say "no, it's the Miami Vice car"

 

With a Big Heart....What Else?

 

A different kind of Fcar, my 1964 Fiat 500, but once I was posing through the sunroof for a magazine. Once I got out of the car, I was pushed out of the way and these two people jumped in my car for the same shot. I was too shocked to truly comprehend what was happening. Sort of sat there looking with a WTF just happened face- guess they thought it was a free event

Another time at a Ferrari national meet, I brought the Fiat and sure enough, a little old Italian man made his way into the car when no one was around. Just sat there reminiscing. Good thing I didn't have anything in the car worth value. His reason: he thought they were for sale. Lock your doors, people. Lock 'em up!

 

Lol, yeah I chuckled when this happened once at a car show. Ugly dude, cute chick. He was trying to impress her and said something like 'and here is the Ferrari Tom Selleck drove in Magnum PI. Remember the opening credits? It's in there.' The girl seemed impressed and I didn't feel like CBing the dude so I just went along with it. 'yeah, and right there in the center console is where they mounted K.I.T.T.' I said. The girl was impressed, but I think the dude knew I was making fun of him.

 

I was out getting a sandwich today and parked my 360 in the back of the parking lot.

In the sandwich shop, a young fellow approached me and mentioned he had a Malibu, and did I want to race? I told him, no thanks, I'm not much for racing. To which he replied "My dad's a cop so I could get him to make it legal." I smiled, a bit puzzled. Oh well!
He did mention that my car was beautiful, so at least he was right about something!
