Funniest/Stupidest comments you have received about your Ferrari

cop was following me for a bit right into a parking lot I was heading to. He got out and started to walk over...oh...%&^what now? He came up to my window and said "I just want check your car out" "Is it a real one". "What year is it...are you sure it's historic?!." I ended up showing him inside and out including the engine bay, etc. and he even snapped a few photo.

 

That is actually cool and I think it is great that some cops keeping our roads safe actually know a bit about cars and are not just car haters. Glad you had the time to show him your car .

Guy in the DIY store car park "did you build it yourself?"

 

"Why is it black?" - about my black F430 spider, about 1000 times.

I credit this torture with my choice of colour on my 458.

Back in the 80's I parked my Mondial and was walking back to it when I overheard two people talking about it. "Is that a Ferrari ? Yeah I think it's a Testaverde."

 

I have a 68 365 and many times I have heard "what a beutifull classic Mustang"

 

And I was in my speed yellow Porsche 968 cab and a kid came up and asked his dad 'what kind of car is that' and the dad said 'It's a Ferrari'.

 

"Nice car but can you use it in NYC" WTF

 

Hilarious! I guess us car guys just don't get how ignorant most folks are to fine sports cars.

The short time I've been in 308s it has been nothing but admiring stares, even from a 10 year old girl.
When I had my 2002 C5 Z06 delivered in Germany my girlfriend touched it and said, "You paid $50,000 for a plastic car?!" That was humbling. LOL Everyone else in Germany asked if it was a Ferrari. None car people just don't pay attention.

 

OK, this was hilarious. Waiting at a railroad crossing for a train to pass - like, twenty minutes ago - this kid jumps out of the minivan behind me and starts posing with my car while his friends took photos. I honked the horn, which scared the shiznit out of him, but he saw I was laughing and we gave each other thumbs up.

Never a dull moment with a red Ferrari.

Cheers,

Best thread on Fchat. Just finished reading it from page one. Good stuff guys. Carry on!

 

At Tour d'Orange this year, a friend pulled up next to me and said "I saw 40 Ferrari 360s on the cruise, but 38 turned out to be various year Corvettes"

Positively hilarious, but oh so true.

 

People park in front of my house to go to the beach. Last summer there was a policeman putting tix on cars without town stickers. He knew what my GT4 was and told me about how a few years before he and his brother had access to a vintage bimmer M1 and they were ripping down Rt 1 (notorious road n of Boston). Great chat about some cool cars and hey maybe it got me a little speeding ticket immunity in the future!

 

in my '04 360 spider I had at the time, I was stopped at a red light and cross walk when a group of teenage girls walked in front and one yelled out "nice car!" I said thanks when another girl then yelled "too bad you're SO OLD! oh well

 

Sorry to quote an almost four year old post, but couldn't resist.

Last night coming home in the 360, kid in a diesel VW yelled at me "Do you want to trade"..I asked what kind of mileage he got ( said 45mpg) then asked me "What kind of chicks do you get??"

 

It's not funny, but it certainly is stupid.

Someone asked me, and I quote, "How much of a poseur are you?" In fact, they did it right here on this forum.

 

"Yah know I have always loved those Supras"....my reply, "yes they are great, and if you feed them well they'll grow six more cylinders."

 

I wouldn't sweat it, her boyfriend probably just broke up with her in his Prius

 

Yeah right. You mean his mom's Prius.

Although... it is possible to go on a date with a girl on a bicycle. She just has to ride on the handlebars.

 

Which could get her pregnant . . .

 

Oh my

 

Outstanding!
