Funniest/Stupidest comments you have received about your Ferrari

I can't see how a 308 GTB could be confused with a deLorean, but I have been asked that same question. I always assumed that it is because my GTB is silver.

But if they could confuse a GT4 of a different color with one, I guess that the comments I've been getting have just been stupidity all along.

 

It seems like every kid under the age of 21 asks me how much the car costs. My only response is "enough that I couldn't buy two". I have gotten the "Mustang" comment several times, and "Is that a real Ferrari". The best comment so far was " That is a really nice Porsche"....

 

I parked in the parking lot of a mall one afternoon and when I came out to my car there was a business card under the windshield wiper. It said:

"If you are half as good looking as your car, call me."

It was about 25 years ago and I must have been driving a red 328 spider. My wife was in the car with me and grabbed the lady's card.

 

It's pretty bad when they don't even know what kind of car THEY'RE driving!

 

+1

 

I agree, that seems to be the first question "How much did this cost"

 

Classic!

You should have said, "wait till I hit 88mhp"

 

@1998 I had a BMW 840 and my girlfriend (now my wife) had a BMW 325. Her friend comes over and sees them side by side in the garage and says "How cute, you guys have the same car."

 

This falls under the "funniest" section:

Last week, someone said to me "Can I borrow your Ferrari, I am going through a mid-life crisis."

 

I'd let you, but my own crisis ain't over yet.

 

While warming up the F355 in the driveway the day after bringing her home, I peered out the mirror and saw my neghbor with his mouth wide open checking out the car. He then goes 'this a Ferrari!' loudly three times and then says 'my wife said you got a new Corvette.'

My neighbor across the way dropped by the next day after I returned from a drive and said his wife asked "why does (my name) need a Ferrari". I just smiled and offered him a ride that he has yet to take me up on.

I was at Albertson's parking lot waiting for other cars to arrive for our weekly jaunt. A guy in his twenties walks up with his dog on leash. He says "I'll trade you the dog for the car and I reply "yes, sure looks like a good dog". He then looks down and goes "sorry, this is my girlfriend's dog. She'd kill me if I traded her dog". Couldn't tell if he thought I was serious.

 

I was filling up the 575 the other day and the guy on the other side of the pump was well dressed and friendly, and very unassuming.

Nice as he could be, he asked all the normal questions like what year? horsepower, maintenance cost, top speed etc.. that we all get. Out of the blue he asked what it does in a quarter mile and if I wanted to drag him at the track. Having heard this line before, I said that anybody who drags a Ferrari is probably owning it for the wrong reasons, and why, did he want to drag me in the newer luxury Japanese sedan he was gassing up?

He casually said " no, I have a 6000hp dragster at home, just curious." Got back in his car, nice as can be, and drove off. His license plate holder on the rear read..."my other car is a top fuel"

 

There is an a**hole in my FB circle that keeps referring to mine as a Miata. The sad part is that he actually thinks it's funny.

 

Hahaha! The license plate holder is what does it

 

I laughed my ass off as he drove off. Not sure what was funnier, the fact he wanted to drag, or how cool and casual he was about even asking the question. I think he really wanted to go to the track. I would still be in second gear before he hit the 1/4

As a side note, I own a beat up old truck that has miss matched body panels and bald tires that I use to go to the dump and haul stuff. I park it out of sight, just for the neighbors. A friend gave me a license plate holder that reads "My other car is a Ferrari" I have that thing on the truck that is worth about $500 bucks. That is my little chuckle as I chug around town. I laugh my ass off as the exhaust smoke rolls out on the car behind at a stop light.

 

LOL! You're going to have to post a picture of that truck someday.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

My wife really gets pissed at me as I keep an old straw hat, that I wear when I drive in the truck. I really want to put silver naked lady mud flaps on the truck, but I cannot find a place that the rust will hold them.

 

Haha! As I was reading the sentence I was expecting it to say "I cannot find a place to buy them", the actual sentence made my visualization of the truck even better!

 

Had the 430 at my dentist office. Small rural town, nice dentist office. At least 20 cars in parking lot. I park in front on the lawn on the main road. Go back three months later and both the dentists told me not to bring car back. I guess they got a ton of calls asking which one bought the Ferrari? Even their accountant called in a tizzy haha.

 

^^^^ Who does your dentist think he is telling you what you can and cannot drive to your appoinments?? I would drive it everytime you visit him from now on lol!!

 

When my dad and i were driving up to road america in elkhart lake with the scuderia and the 458 we stopped at a littlegas station that we always pass and occasionally stop at on the way up there. Typically there is quite a few bikers and rednecks around and most of the time they really like the cars but this previous summer when we stopped at this gas station an man comes out of his rusty old pick-up truck and starts filling up his tank. We don't pay much attention to him, seems like an average local in these parts but then he sees our cars and one of the funniest things i had ever heard come out of anyone's mouth was with this guy. He comes up to my dad and i and says, "wow, those are some purtyyy fineee mustangsss yall go der." then he said "I could tell them were mustang's because of the horse on the front hood. Dat right der was a deadddd give away." That right there just made the cake right there. One of the funniest and idiotic things i has ever heard...

 

Lol...that is a good comeback

 

They probably thought it was the dentist's Ferrari, and hence complained that he is overcharging them LOL

 

Keep taking it to your appointments... the dentists might eventually figure:

"Well, we might as well buy Ferraris of our own."​

All the best,
Andrew.
