What Is The WORST Thing That's Happend To You While Driving Your Ferrari?

Self-inflicted (twice): running into a curb and breaking the black airdam below the front bumper. At least it's a separate piece on the 328; on newer models it's integrated with the bumper and if you break it you have to repair or replace the whole bumper cover.

 

I was caught not smiling.... once.

 

Concrete brick flew off of a truck and went under the mondial. Punched five holes in the underside.

A driver driving too close to the car which almost caused an accident.

 

Left rear wheel came off the 360 while driving. Fortunately I was going slow at the time. No real damage as the wheel/tire tucked itself into the wheel well and I had almost come to a stop. The only real damage was one messed-up lug bolt. I had just hit 100mph a few minutes before...

 

Bulls$itting with my friend on the phone while I put the top up on my Mondial. My buddy has the absolute worst taste in women. It's f'ing unbelievable, not only are they ugly and out of their f'ing minds, but they are generally as intelligent as a box of rocks. I mean, questions like, "on what date is New Years," are fair questions. On top of that, they are nasty golddiggers. Isn't there some rule that Golddiggers HAVE to be attractive. I swear my buddy travels to the land of misfit toys to get his girls.

BUT I DIGRESS

As I was on the phone pleading with him to dump his latest catastrophe (literally, a russian mail order bride, who's husband was trying to return to sender), I shut the top, apparently with a piece of fabric caught in the frame. I tore a really nice 8 inch whole in my original top. For the next 45 minutes I fired off the most elaborate, creative, and unceasing string of curse words. Lenny Bruce would have been proud.

 

Round rock about the size of a golf ball caught the 348 in the windscreen. About $3500 to replace, thank goodness the insurance covered it.

 

1) Returned to my 456M after grocery shopping at Whole Paycheck and someone hocked a big loogie on my windshield.

2) Returned to my 456M after shopping at Costco and someone jammed a flat-bed shopping cart underneath my rear spoiler all the way to the rear tires.


FYI: I was properly parked in both situations ... none of this double-space stuff.

 

Identical story to my 360 spyder

 

I had a lady lift up her shirt and flash while I was driving my Scuderia. Two separate occurrences. Nearly caused an accident.

 

Whoa, I will be checking my lug nuts when I take the car out.

 

Aren't mail order brides supposed to be hot too? I also enjoyed your story much more than your Ferrari story

 

Sir, that is terrible!

 

snapped the stub axle on my 308 resulting in a wheel flying off

destroyed at least 2 512TR transmissions

Lately I get PC butwipes asking me what kind of MPG I get

I should start asking them how much poon there car pulls

 

I took a corner too fast and my GF spilled some of her Brunello di Montalcino on her Versace dress.

Oh the drama!

 

Last summer,
Driving my TR down the highway a camshaft seized. Some cams kissed a couple pistons...

 

You mean valves?

 

Oups, yes valves...I'm still nrevous when talking about it!

 

Not technically -driving-

I took my car to a show last summer, and we ended up with OMG-build-an-ark type rain. It turns out the seals on the top weren't that good, and the water damage resulted in a complete interior rework on the car.

It's still in the shop now. The new seats look nice.

I couldn't stop myself from driving 160+ MPH. Seems stupid now that I look back, but then again it made me feel alive... which is better than living dead.

 

When my first ever ferrari that I had waited oh so long for finally showed up (328), I was on my honeymoon. I had a really good friend take delivery for me. He pulled it right into the garage and went to put the top on. He dropped the top and popped a nice little hole in the drivers seat!

 

Wrecking one is always a sinking feeling...

If it's your fault or someone else's, the feeling is still pretty much the same.

 

Wife was driving the 348 Spider Back from Vegas during the Players Run at about 110MPH I was sleeping in the passenger seat. She blew a tire and it freaked her out a bit, luckily only damage was the tire.
