They hate the car because its a pleasure they can't control. Further, they hate it because it is a pleasureable escape from them. | ||

Sounds like women's main job in life is to make their men miserable.  Come to think of it, some of my friends who go married seems to have had a personality change. More like they're on a leash. Know how hard it is to get your friends to play golf when they have to beg for a few hours from their wives? | ||

They hate them so much because they see us enjoying something. A woman can't be happy if she sees a smile on a man's face. It really infuriates my wife that I spend time or money on the car and it is really getting to her that our daughter who is 3 really loves the car. She, ( my daughter) crawled in the wheel well when I was changing the a/c out and started asking what all the engine parts were I guess she needs to know since she claims it is her "Ferrari Car" | ||

My wife can't stand it! She wants me to get rid of it. When I asked why, she said cause it was a money pit. If the subject of money comes up and I start saying that we aren't going to spend waistfully, she will then make a comment about my Ferrari! I think it has to do with the money going to what you want and not what they want. The funny thing is that she wanted me to teach her how to drive stick. I let her drive it once before I got the new clutch and flywheel put in. I figure, hey it's fried anyway she can't do any worse. But then she started talking about "yeah then I can take it to work". I DON'T THINK SO!!! When she could care less about the car and wants me to get rid of it. She hasn't been behind the wheel since. | ||

When I was dating I was also roadracing motorcycles, so the girls I would date attended my races . They would hold the umbrella on the grid for me, and if the hair on the back of their necks wouldn't stand up when th engine fired up I knew they had no passion for motorsports. On free weekends we would attend CART races or other Motorsports events and if she didn't get goose pimples on the command to start engines once again I knew this was not the girl for me. My wife shares my love for motorsports and cars , and it seems so do my kids. WFO | ||

I could sell my car tomorrow and my wife wouldn't care, but she'd be sad that I'd abandoned my dream car. She's never driven it in the year I've owned it even though I've offered. When it's time for a night on the town, she'd rather take the Jag. But she does understand how I feel about it and doesn't discourage me. | ||

I am currently working on obtaining my first car. I am leaning to the Boxer in place of my original choice; of the Testarossa. I assume she would probably feel the Boxer is less money! Each car has nice merits in my opinion. How about both honey. I will know when it is time to introduce the new car! I will keep it secure in the back of my warehouse office. I will pay dearly for it - for a few days. This was exactly how my 2nd motorcycle was with her. is it worth it ? Ciao Ralph | ||

Ken, I believe spouses should support each other's passions, even if they don't share them, so long as they do not interfere with family goals financially or otherwise. My own wife is much like Mike's just below. She was a hard sell for the first car until she saw me and my first Ferrari that I had not yet bought together. She told me later she could see the joy in my face and wanted me to have that. I am thankful to have chosen such a great woman and that she would have me! In return, I have never lied to her about buying any car, it's price, and the cost of maintenence, etc. which was considerable on some cars. Lies make things worse. Ken, my gut tells me there is some other issue with your wife. Find out what it is. I'm sure her attitude can't be helping your enjoyment of the car. More importantly, the situation can't be very good for your marriage either. I hope I am not stepping out of bounds here, but if my wife said what yours did about rather having me cheat on her, I would be very concerned. Dave | ||

My wife absolutely hated my infactuation with Ferrari's but put up with it because she knew it was the car I had been saving for since I was a little kid. However, that all changed a couple of weeks ago when I took her out to dinner and decided to hit the "cruz strip" afterward for a few laps (something I haven't done for several years). She could not believe the attention (although she didn't like the girls screaming out their phone numbers) and found it amusing that kids, as well as grown adults, were falling all over themselves to get a better look at the car. She had a perma-grin the entire night. In fact, when I started heading back home she asked if we could go back and make a couple of more laps. Wives....who understands them | ||

When I was debating whether to order my 550 or keep it in the stock market (!), it was my wife who urged me to order it & fulfill a passion I have had since I was a teenager--a front engine V-12 Ferrari! Turns out her timing couldn't have been better vis a vis the market, but who knew? So, she loves the car (the 2nd one, the 328GTS, was her Christmas present this past year), but is a bit intimidated to drive it on anything but open highway... | ||

My fiancee thinks the 328 is cool, but isn't as crazy about it as I am. Didn't lie to her about the price, since it was my money. When I got it, she asked if it would be a finicky car. I just said "Hopefully not!" The only thing she doesn't like about it is when the interior gets warm, usually just in heavy traffic. So far, she's been reluctant to drive it. Oh well-Senna loves it! | ||

My wife hates my Ferrari. She even calls it the "Fiero" It may have something to do with the fact that I surprised her with it by buying it and putting it in the garage without her knowledge. She didn't talk to me for three days. The fact that I have a 17 month old daughter and we all can't fit in the car makes matters worse. My wife has driven it once but I can't get her to go on the Ferrari rally's with me. I don't think anyone knows I'm married. | ||

My wife blew me away recently. I've been talking about our future Mondial cabriolet for quite some time and wanted to show her one up close. We went to the local investment car dealer where I had been admiring their Mondial t cab. When my wife saw it, she said, "That's the Mondial?!? It doesn't have the body shape like a Ferrari should have! Why don't you get THAT one?" ...as she spun around and pointed to the yellow 348 Spider. "THAT looks more like a Ferrari should look." In this case, I'm totally for the Mondial since we have two precious 3 yr old twin girls who are total Ferrari nuts like their dad. I couldn't stand to buy a two-seater and leave my Ferrarikids at home. My wife, on the other hand, suggests that my Ferrari fancy would probably be better suited with one daughter at a time or my friends. I think she'll catch on to the Ferrari-family concept when we go for a ride. ;-) Vroom, vroom. Oh, and when the salesman said I looked good in the Mondial (nice line, huh?) my wife said, "Oh, we'll buy one all right. He's determined and he won't stop until we own one." Is my wife Ferrari-infatuated? Nope. Does she understand me? Better than I thought before we went in!! By the way, both F-cars are for sale at Northwest Investment Cars in Portland, Oregon. Very nice store. http://www.nwicars.com/cabrios.htm#ferrari | ||

My wife likes them! While she would not go and buy one herself, she likes the looks, quality, speed and 'specialness' of these cars. I have the reciprocal approach to houses; left to me we would still be living in the house we had years ago, and would only have moved when I felt constrained by garage space. Now that we are in our present house, I enjoy living here almost as much as she does. She's not at all bothered that other women may take an interest when I'm driving them. If I were so inclined having a Ferrari wouldn't make any difference. Anyway these cars mainly attract men. Or women with tattoos. And bad peroxide jobs. Oh, and kids. | ||

My wife likes the older F cars much more than the new ones, which, according to her, look like ambiguous, quasi-japanese cars, without the distinct personality of the older,classic italian lines. She seldom drives any of them that i have had, although she was my test driver when i first went shopping for a ferrari, cause at that time, i didn't have a drivers license. She doesn't like big speed on the streets, and thought that alot of the hi-speed street driving (not just mine) on the Forza Mille we did a couple of years ago was ridiculous. She does enjoy going to events, and particularly likes older funkier cars, or quirky ones. She has been supportive, in a "boys will be boys" kind of way, respects my passion for the cars, and seems to get my penchant for continually changing cars. (When i approached the subject of buying a 330gts the other day, she just started to laff). She does not like the bike, however, it frightens her, and is not a happy subject between us, entirely for the reason of safety: she said, coming home from upstate yesterday, that she watched somebody in a suburu switch lanes without signaling, for no apparent reason, and go directly into the path of a bike that was doing all the right things, clear day, no hazards, etc. A crash was apparently avoided only because the bike driver was astute, and the car driver was totally obli. I know there are a million stories like that, but it unnerves her, and doesn't make me feel good either, cause i have been careful so far, and am taking it easy, but, as she says, it ain't you, babe, that i'm worried about. | ||

My wife really likes my Ferrari, a black 328. She has always liked except for the time when we were on our way to a FCA June event at Rockingham, NC. The AC was not doing its job so we drove with the windows open. It was stifling. My wife was wearing a good pair of earings.

Well...who or what is getting all the attention? A CAR....and some women think you may go out and attract other women with it. Its great being a man isnt it? For women who are not into cars they see you diverting attention away from them. | ||

Why do our wife's and girlfriend's hate our Ferrari's so much? Everyone I talk to has admitted that they lie about the purchase price of the car and the amount of maintenance. I know one person who had a timing belt break on his TR and told his wife that the repair would be covered under the warranty. He paid $26K for the repair and never told his wife that it cost them a single penny. My wife even admitted that she would have preferred that I slept with another woman than purchase a Ferrari. That is how much she hates my Ferrari. So why is it that our Ferrari's are hated so much? |
