Funniest/Stupidest comments you have received about your Ferrari

After many of the same questions I have come up with my defaults:

How much: "Less than you think." They always think it is around $250K
How do you like it: "Is that a rhetorical question?"
What's it like to drive: "It is the 2nd best feeling I have ever had" I use that for perspective even though on many occasions, I think it could be #1.

 

Yesterday. I took the TR to an Insurance Agent for a quote and stopped off at a self serve car wash. A couple of bays over was a homeless couple bickering. I guess they were married or something.....defiantly acted like it. Anyway, while I was loading quarters into the machine, she screams, "F-you I want a divorce!" A few seconds later she is leaving the car wash pushing her shopping cart full of.....property?

Her husband starts to give chase and Im trying not to make eye contact. So I start spraying the TR down......and from behind I hear, "Wow, nice car!"

Great, I get to play divorce attorney to the homeless. I just say 'thanks' and dont turn around because I was concentrating on keeping water away from the intakes etc.

"Does this have a V12 or flat 12?" He asked.

Ok, you peaked my curiosity fine sir. I looked up to answer his intelligent question.....and shiver me timbers. The homeless man was dressed like a F**king Pirate. A Pirate!! He had a three prong hat, clam diggers, a sash with a toy musket tucked inside and an eye patch flipped up. Missing teeth (dont know if that was from being homeless but it played well for the dress of the day.)

Ok, so now im totally mystified but mustered the courage to answer his question. "Its a flat 12, 5 liter."

He replies, "I would be way too scared to take that thing out of the garage, I might get a rock chip or a door ding."

"You might be more concerned with your impending situation, I think your wife just took everything in the divorce." I pointed to his wife shuffling down the sidewalk.

"Oh, Sh*t! Have a nice day and beautiful car." He scampered off to give chase to his belongings doing 5 MPH in a Target shopping cart.

I had to add another few quarters....but it was worth it.

A F'n Pirate! WTF?

 

Wow, that's funny . . . and really weird.

No offense, but (and this is not just for you) I'm seeing a lot of this, especially for some reason on f-chat:

?Definitely? vs. ?Defiantly? | WordAbilities Writing Blog

 

Just another day in LA?!? .
Crazy story. Thanks for sharing...T

 

I remember a few years ago I was in Santa Monica for a meeting and was on the patio at Urth Cafe ( I think that's it) and in the middle of my pitch, we see a guy in a full on realistic Batman costume crossing the street. I'm talking the rubberized suit, boots, the cape, the whole thing. I pause, do a double take, and then simply say, "This really must be a great place to live. Even Batman lives here," and continue on with my talk.

Only in Los Angeles...

 

You should visit NYC more often. Even outside of Times Square what you described could be happening and 90% of New Yorkers (non-tourists) wouldn't give it a second thought.

 

True, and Times Square isn't even half as weird as it used to be.

 

I used to work down in Santa Monica and you definitely get the weirdos down on the Promenade. There was a guy who would paint himself in all gray and walk around like a robot. I think the local news did a piece on him. Santa Monica is also known as 'the home of the homeless' because of their lax enforcement of ordinances. Weird to see such a clash of the haves and the have nots; homeless kids camping outside a Hugo Boss store. Stuff like that.

 

Allow me to explain......I am a Shi**y speller. I naturally misspell the word 'definitely', with 'definatly'(wrong).

Spell check brings up three possibilities:
A)Defiantly
B)Definably
C)Definitely

Being lazy, I go for the first thing spell check spits out. Option A)Defiantly.

I do a couple things really well, and went with them as vocational choices. Obviously Editor was low on the list. hahaha

 

So you Defiantly spell the way you want

I've visited LA on two occasions. I find this exceptional for LA!l but funny and believable

 

learman,
It's only January, but I vote this post of the year. And your response is worthy of a standup comic. (Is there no smiley for clapping hands?)

 

Some guy asked if my 365 GT ran on bio-diesel...

 

Yup. Composted hundred dollar bills.

 

Runs on plastic.

 

Some guy asked me the other day how I earned my wealth.
Then he told me he could get me 94% ROI monthly but only if I donate 80% to Humanitarian projects.
Seems legit.
We're supposed to meet at Denny's next week.
Cant wait.

 

Man, what a risktaker

I hope you have your $100M ready

 

You get the privilege of losing 6% of your money per month? What a deal!

 

I'm just glad it's in Texas, where David can happily shoot the guy in the Denny's car park when the guy reveals he's a mugger

 

Yeah, eating at a Denny's is pretty risky. I'd skip it, and go to the Oasis Cafe...T

 

Probably not what he had in mind when I said I'd pull the trigger on this deal.

 

Hahaha, my mrs says I always have to see the violent reply in things!! It's the Sicilian in me, always feeling persecuted.

 

When approached with a usual : "How can you afford a car like that? or What do you do for a living?, etc", I answer either: "won the lottery" or "won the sweepstakes".
Reaction is always the same, silence followed with: "damn, lucky guy!" or something similar but always with a smile and always very positive.
It is easier for them to understand someone "winning something" vs "working for it"
