Funniest/Stupidest comments you have received about your Ferrari

In Calgary yesterday parking downtown by the Suncor tower and a gentleman in a suit and tie with a lady walking by asking me if I needed valet service.

 

So was I.

. . . Which reminds me of another thread: "Do you ever allow a valet to park your Ferrari?" (Even a real valet?)

I don't.

 

I don't either

 

I always get this when I'm taking pictures of a local Ferrari. "Nice car!" "Is it yours?" I always wanna say yes lol.

Not a Ferrari, but a Lambo 640, a lady in a minivan pulled up and I heard her say, "No, that's a Ferrari!"

 

+1

 

A few weeks back I was parked at a local gas station waiting for my new 328 to cool such that I could check the oil. A young guy leaned out of the passenger window of his friend's car and said with a smile, "Man, you need a mustache to drive that car!"

 

LOL!
My Italian friends call me 'Marco Ferrari' or 'Magnum' (I have the mustache & a beard) it's all good!

 

"That must be like a F-14 without wings" Teen pronounced tain and wings wangs

 

That is FUNNY

 

lmao that's a par on the guy smoking.

 

A lady pulls up in a big BMW, rolls down the window and says, "That's the most exciting car I have ever seen!!!"

I thought that was very original!!!

Yours,

Tom

 

I think it was original, too. And very well said.

 

I live in Prince George, so I'm called 'Magnum PG'.
I drive a black Mondial T... One of two in town, so the 328 technicality is ok.

Not a Ferrari.... but my next door neighbor came up to me as I was getting into my Aston V8 Vantage and said "Is that the new Chrysler?"

 

Guy pulls up to me at a light and says " i have never seen a delorean with paint! I didnt know they came that way ? Is that original ? I cried like a 13 year old at a daviD cassidy concert ! Well maybe not really. LOL

Texas must not care about losing then. It seemed like Texas fans cared when I was leaving the Cotton Bowl this year, 55-17. And I'm fairly certain UT envy's our 7 Big XII titles. Texas Tech on the other hand, probably doesn't care too much about us this year though... Ugh

My car seems to always get the "How much did that cost?" or "How fast does it go?" questions... haven't had any Mustang questions or crazy off the wall stuff... yet.

 

"Does it have NOS?"

From a kid working in a restaurant when I pulled in with the 355CH in the trailer.

 

Was in Southern Indiana recently in my 458, when I pulled in to a little town and I mean little town. The town was having a car show so I pulled in and parked next to the show car lot. Being a motorhead first and foremost I thought I would see what was there.

Of course none of the 50 car owners in the show had ever seen a 458 in the flesh so they all came over and started milling about the car, taking pictures and asking questions. Again, being a motorhead, I really did want to see the cars in the show so I started to walk toward the first line of cars.

That's when I heard one of the guys start talking about the fact that my 458 had factory NOS. I turned around and walked back to see what he was talking about. They were taking turns looking in the front passenger footwell. That's where I have a Ferrari labeled fire extinguisher. After a couple of minutes of observing their amazament, I informed them that it was a fire extinguisher which is on the option list for the 458, so you can get it factory intalled, although I did not, I installed it myself. They asked why would you need a fire extinguisher, and I said, that it was kind of like the space shuttle, the 458 is so fast that at terminal velocity friction can cause it to catch fire, hence the fire extinguisher.

That seemed to satify everyone and to my surprise no one challenged my explanation. I guess for a car that looks kind of like a spaceship, that was entirely plausable

Oh and there was a one owner 57 Chevy that was killer, he just had it restored and for a guy in his 80s the whole process kept him young also. He did most of the work himself with his sons and the car was literally brand new, he had everything including the original sticker and brochure from Chevy. You never know what you will find in a small town

 

Just tell them about as much as your double wide (that's luxury size in soonerville right?)

 

We had come back from a Sunday ride in the 575M. letting the car cool for awhile in the driveway before putting it back in the garage. Older gentleman walks up the drive and says, "I really like your weather vane" (copper & brass schooner on the garage roof). BTW, Nice red Lexus you have there. Laughed all the way to the scotch bottle.

 

+1...that was good

 

LMAO!!!

 

Is that the car from Back to the Future?

(Said by one of the teachers at my kids school as I was picking them up in the 308 GT4)

 

This is a repost, but it is funny:

In 2000, I was driving back with my wife from a funeral. We were driving my 355, which I had just bought. Hadn't told her that I'd bought it, it had started out as a loaner from Bad Goldstone from Ferrari of San Francisco. I'd gotten it because they needed parts to get my 348 spider finished.

At any rate after I drove the 355, I decided I wanted it, and wrote him a check. However, I didn't have the balls to tell my wife that I'd bought the car. So, after we'd had it a month, and were driving back from the funeral, she said:

"You bought this f'king car, didn't you?" Had to tell her the truth, and to this day, I haven't lived it down.
