Wow, the attention a Ferrari gets

It's really great to see you are enjoying your Porsche Doug! Enjoy in good health!

Know exactly what you mean. Several waves, thumbs up, and honks tonight and that was just in a 5 mile ride. It's interesting to me how people ask what year but are clueless when it comes to the model. Oh well, most of these cars would pass for a 2010 anyway.

 

You should live in Vegas.... then you see what attention an F car brings!

Congratulations on the car. I'm sure you'll love it.

BTW: Write us when you get your first "flash"... Oh, get that cell camera ready because we want PICS!

 

I need to bring my car down to SJ, in Marin they just ignore, probably 'cos they can all afford one but choose to drive a Prius instead

 

You know the funny thing is i notice more ladies, not girls stare at the fcar. Maybe cause it's red.

 

I know what you mean about the ferrari.

We have a Ford GT too, and everybody asks if its the new model from Ferrari...

 

Several comments above were deleted. Political comments are not appropriate in the regular forums, only in P&R.

 

Thank you!

 

No different downunder mate.....people out with cameras taking movies, honks, thumbs up, everyone looks as a 430 is relatively rare in Oz, petrol station filling up is absolutely huge with the response incredibly positive...plenty of other things too many to mention.

Can't buy that kudos with anything else IMHO.

whenever i go to costco to fill my tires with nitrogen, the service techs line up to check out the car. usually one of the techs will pull out his cell phone to take a photo. i generally ask any photo seekers if they would like to sit in the car and have me take their photo.

 

Agreed and I apologize for mine.

Have any of you guys ever been approached by an over enthusiastic admirer of your car? What did you do?

 

Let's not forget the number of IDIOTS in inferior cars who want to race .

When guys ask me to race, I say why. Your car want to grow up and be a Ferrari.

 

I had an idiot tell me "sweet mustang" at a stop light the other day.

I didn't even know how to respond.


I BY FAR get more looks from young kids than anything else. They always yell and scream at the car, and their parents seem to try their hardest to not pay attention.

 

I have both an f430 coupe and a gallardo spider. If you think you get looks in a Ferrari, you should take a spin in my gallardo. There is no comparison. While people love the f-car, they go crazy when they see the lambo.

These are good problems to have.

I'm really happy you're enjoying your car and all the attention.

You should bring your car to Santana Row this morning. A bunch of us gather in the lot two down from the valet lot around 10am.

Now THAT'S funny on many levels! Love the GT....

 

Could be worse. They could have thought you were driving a new Corvette.

 

If we didn't want the attention, we wouldnt have bought Ferraris! got my pic taken over 30 times in about 3 minutes driving down Rodeo in Beverly Hills... But, us guys have to spend over $100,000 for that kind of attention, whereas a lady just needs to spend about $6,000 on a nice set of boobs to get equal attention...That is my argument against women needing to be paid equally...

 

The great thing is that many of us can have BOTH

 

16-17 under carriage replacements or 1 Ferrari

One lucky mechanic

Paging Dr Doug - pics please!

 

Last week, I had a group of ~20 young kids on a school field trip crossing the street in front of me and one of them stoped and screamed, "Wow! Check out the Camaro!!!". I was in my F430...

 

I dunno. I went to the doc about implants and I think the surgery would hurt a little too much.

 

I knew that didn't quite come out right...

 

I am just using a push-up 'Bro' instead.
