Total prick new ferrari owner in Frisco?

Or his idea of a brotherhood is not the same as yours. It's probably his wife's Ferrari and he doesn't wave at anyone but fellow Veyron drivers.

 

Or he was trying to figure out how to get it out of neutral, and work the radio.

 

Sorry!

I didn't see your Mustang.

 

We tell people not to wave until they figure out how to work the radio and pair their phone.

 

Hi Mike,

Don't feel bad, most of us are very friendly. next time you see a Red 360 going on Tollway, I'll wave back

 

a prick in Frisco? you got be kidding!

 

Maybe he was having a bad hair day!

 

Maybe he stole it.

 

Maybe he didn't have hands...

 

Ari Gold probably just got a new car. The rest of us aren't pricks

 

You obviously didn't leave your heart in San Francisco. Don't let it get you down. The nice people in the world make up for the alternative nasty ones - I hope. There's generally always a bad apple in a box full of apples. I'm heading for San Francisco for a few nights in May next year so I hope all the other locals are friendlier than the guy in question.

 

Lately I've heard some vendors talk about "those Frisco (insert plural insult here)."

Uh, since when has frisco become so uppity? I thought the HP/UP crowd held crown to this attitude.

Kidding about the HP/UP thing of course. I think. Us Lakewood folks are just on the outside looking in

 

Wrong Frisco, but I admire your thoughts being in the right place! Frisco, TX is a 'burb of Dallas, TX.

 

Hey Mike,

I notice from your profile that you've got a 348 (nice choice, it's my dream car) and the guy who didn't wave was in a current production Ferrari. If it makes you feel any better, this snobbishness between differing eras of production carries over into other marques as well...

I drive a 2004 MINI and although I wave at the drivers of Classic (pre-2000) Minis as well as the MINI drivers, I often get ignored by the former. In a few extreme cases, I've also had Classic Mini owners give me 'the finger' for having the audacity to wave at them from my 'BMW'.

BMW have now moved on to a second generation of their modern production MINI and although I wave at these drivers too, I've found that current production owners will ignore the 1st generation MINI drivers. Not had any fingers extended in my direction from this crowd yet, but certainly not feeling any love.

Cheer up. You own a fabulous car and don't need its awesomeness validated for you by other drivers. Think of the return wave as an unexpected perk when it inevitably will come - that's what I do in my MINI.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Whats this about "thinking" I know more than the dealer ?
And a prick in a Ferrari ?
I never.....




Having burnt all his bridges our fearless author now looks over at the Germanic offerings.

 

Funny thing. I was driving the 2010 Camaro last week and had all manner of pick up, van car tanker and Yugo honking and waving at me Some with thumbs up most with smiles... but I also had 3 kids in a clapped out sentra want to race me then almost run into me as one of the kids tried to camera phone video me while driving.... In a Camaro.

Rob is spot on with his assessment of the dealer enthusiast relationship. Sometimes the enthusiast does know more of the endless minutia of a particular car, and as we have seen on this site MANY times those who don't own or can't own are no less enthusiastic.

Frisco is the land of the Neuvo Riche. Some are complete a-holes and some are completely nice down to earth people with a 75--- zip code

 

I don't seem to fit in either of the "two major groups". I'm too ignorant to be an enthusiast and too poor to be in the other group.
