Funniest/Stupidest comments you have received about your Ferrari

I've noticed that a lot of people are much more rude and hostile than in the past. . . and not in relation to Ferrari ownership. (I think it may have something to do with the economy.)

Nothing personal. I just shrug it off and enjoy the positive comments I still get.

 

Yes, that is good advice, I brushed it off...but I still don't know what prompted that, caught me totally of guard.

 

I growed up in Catskill, NEw YOrk.. and lemme tell youz sometin.. when you have a rusted Chebby Truck in the front Yard next to an old washing machine, the first nice car you see with a horsie on it is gonna be a mustang. ;-)

He was talking to you in "grown up voice". Since the average reading level IS at an 8 year olds.. don't take offense to it. As old "unkle" Bebo once told me: "trees ain't got no branches around here" (hehehe)

 

I had a girlfriend in high school who had several of her own "Rules of LIfe." One of them was: Every now and then, you run into an @$$h01e.

I actually found that it's a good rule, because it puts encounters with @$$H01es into the same category as a snowstorm, something breaking, or occassionally getting sick. Annoying and inconvenient, but it happens to everyone. Nothing personal.

The trouble I still have, is that somehow @$$h01es know the exact moment when this particular truth is furthest from my mind - and appear out of nowhere to ruin my day. They always manage to catch me off-guard. At least, with snowstorms, you have some time to prepare.

 

priceless!

smart kid you got there.

 

Bazinga!!!!!!


But only after 2-3 days.

It would take that long for the swelling in her eyes to go down.

 

I've never heard it said better!! I had a Schwinn and my sister had a Raleigh...you could almost smell Jaguar DNA coming from that thing. I still remember the brand of tires it had; Vredstein Paragon Roadster Sports...only the English would use that many words to name a tire. And the Schwinn really was like a Caddy!! Those were the days.

 

Bradley - that's good advice.

 

I had a few good ones over the past few days....


"What year is that, 1984?" Talking about my 355, LOL

I was approached by two police officers who stated, "We'll need to use your car for official police buisiness!". I replied, "Sure, no problem! I'll probably need to use you guys at some point as well!"

I was getting food when a guy came up to me offering to trade cars. I jokingly declined, then he offered to throw in his watch. I asked if it was a Patek, and he said no... Michael Kors. LOL!

 

Putting gas in a 575 this morning, I'm approached by a guy that looked like he entered the country last week...

"Say mang, what kinda car is dat?"
"Ferrari."
"Iss cool mang."
"Thanks."
"Does Chevy still own dem?"
"Sure does!"

 

Lol!

 

No, Chevy does not own them, but they let Ferrari copy their suspension

 

Isn't "Fiat" Italian for Chevy?

 

It is?

 

I took the 308 to the PGA store this weekend and when I parked, a couple of the employees were hanging in the parking lot. "Hey could you blow the horn?" Why not? So I did. "Man I LOVE the sound of a Ferrari horn!" Same guy helped me with a new set of irons a little while later.

 

The horn?!

If they were impressed with that, they must have been blown away when you started up the engine!

 

Uh, no. Not really.

 

I drove my father's 355 quite a bit from 98-00 (I was 18 at the time) and I got all kinds of stupid comments related to my age and the fact that it actually was my dad's Ferrari haha.

But the one that always stuck with me was:

"Nice car! I heard the maintenance on those things was like $50k a year" I just looked at him and shook my head no.

 

Some deadpan humor is called for in situations like these:

Without cracking a smile you say, "What? Fifty thou? Are you kidding me? More like sixty-five - if you're lucky!"


Then laugh later as you remember their expressions.

 

Fueling up my 575 on Saturday, a very good looking woman in a mini van says "Nice car, I'll trade you straight across."
I immediately reply calmly " Sure, I could probably have just as much fun in that minivan as my car." ........to which she had a big smile.

 

Dutch tires I believe though. Or is it Denmark? Its one of those northern European countries with a D.

 

vredestein is from the netherlands

 

I was kidding

 

This one falls under funny/friendly.

Earlier this evening I was backing out of my garage for a quick spirited drive...a neighbour a few doors down who just moved in approached me and says "anytime you want to trade cars, I am the new guy a few doors down..."

I had never seen nor spoken to him before, I didn't even know he was new in the neighbourhood, but I told him that was a different way to introduce himself...it was friendly, we both had a good laugh, and I told him he was welcome to come over anytime to visit.
