Funniest/Stupidest comments you have received about your Ferrari

A Fiero owner should tell people that his car is really a Ferrari with a Fiero body kit.

 

No comment here, just speechless.

A buddy of mine and me were in the 308. We stop at a light and a 911 pulls up next to us. The guy in the 911 is like sitting a foot taller than us in the 308. My buddy rolls down the passenger window of the 308, and says to the guy in the 911 - “nice SUV”.

 

I've taken the side strakes off of my Testarossa. More times than I can count, the young kids and twenty-somethings have asked me whether my car is 'that new Lamborghini'.

 

I'd like to see a photo of that!

 

Well this is the funniest I have gotten yet. Today I was at the market loading groceries in my 360 spider and a young attractive girl asked me what kind of VW was that and I replied its a ferrari. She then said she thought only VW could do that. IE open trunk in front LMFAO

 

Yep, just your average 4 seater family car.......WITH A FRIGGIN' V12 IN IT AND A 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANNY! That's right *****es! I love the 456M. Such a beautiful car.

 

I'd have said, "If you're still here when the show ends, I'll take you both for a ride."

Let them see what it can ****ing do.

I drove a 456 a couple of months ago, and it was fast enough to scare me.

 

At 310kph/187mph capacity it can scare anybody but what amazes me is the sure footing/control of this car (although I did not hit 300kph with mine and will not write "how close" I was to that speed).

 

At least she knew something about old cars. Was she a hippie chick?

 

A funny thing:

So I went to a local restaurant next to the local high school. A couple of kids come over, very interested in the car. The usual questions ensue: "How fast does it go?" "How big is the engine?", etc. Then one of the kids asks, very seriously, "Is it true that you have to send these back to Europe to have them serviced?"

Wow! I hope not!

A stupid thing:

On another occasion I met up with an old acquaintance I hadn't seen in probably 20 - 30 years. He's apparently an expert on Ferrari cars now, and proceeded to tell me all sorts of fantastic and absolutely incorrect things regarding engine and chassis details, service issues, performance data, and even what horribly expensive repairs await.

I just kinda played along and politely nodded as he dispensed his sage wisdom -- but come on, I do all my own work on this thing, I do know a little about it!

 

Had some guys working at my home yesterday. One guy looks over at the Ferrari, which is currently hibernating and under cover for the winter. I have a beige Dustop cover over top of the red satin Ferrari cover, so you can't see any of the car. I still have plenty of Ferrari decorations up in the garage.

Anyway, he looks over at the Ferrari and says: "What kind of Porsche is that." I told him politely, that it's not a Porsche but that she's a Ferrari. He said, "Oh wow. Sorry. You can tell I'm poor because I can't tell them emblems apart!" Nice guy, kinda a "good ol' boy." We laughed about it.

I told him people think it's a Porsche all of the time because of the shape of the shield.

 

Ironically, someone recently asked what kind of Volvo my Porsche was...

 

Wow. I feel better. Dude asked me the past Sunday if my Porsche was a Ferrari. Maybe the red over tan confused him? As he was standing in the back of the car, where it says "PORSCHE Carrera S", I was initially WTF, but then decided to take it as a compliment. I said "Not Yet!"…T

 

People, they're the worst.

To make things even funnier, the person who asked what kind of Volvo it was happened to be standing looking at the rear of the car where, in very clear, large letters, it says: "PORSCHE"

 

People don't read enough these days!

 

I had a 2002 Z06 in Germany in 2002 and a LOT of people thought it was a Ferrari.

 

Not his, but a shot of one I found online:

I once had a lady at the gas station as if my then 2 year old 348 Spider was the new Mustang.

 

Jesus. I think these cars look way better without the strakes.

 

Agreed. I was sold on the idea of removing the strakes eons ago, when I first saw a Koenig version. However, I don't like extra wings and things. EU requires strakes to prevent ingesting small children, etc.

 

Wife called to remind me that I needed to do a grocery run, so naturally I put it off until later in the day. I was at a stop light with a moving truck on my left blocking my view. Well a group of 11-13 year old boys come out from in front of the moving truck in the cross walk. If I was a snake I could have bit them. All at once they notice the White TR purring two feet from them. 'Whoa!!!!!'......'What is that?' Then one of them decided to use half of his knowledge of cars. "Its a fake Testarossa, cuz Testarossa means Red Head and all Testarossas are painted red."

I blipped the throttle and they jumped a little with excitement.

 

Smart kid.. this is true.
