Funniest/Stupidest comments you have received about your Ferrari

Me thinks your spot on. I had a relative who lived in Richmond/San Pablo (further OU the road) which is even richer than the natural ore of Oakland. Actually Oakland has improved is the last years. There are some nice places and people in Oakland.

 

I appreciate the engineering some put in these "sleepers", being a retired aerospace design engineer. There is considerable less money in this little town I live in, understand that some are rockets...this was no Saturn V, it was a ill wheezing bottle rocket.

 

I might be able to find that out if I can figure out which restaurant it is. I just need Keith's F430!

 

I used to get "What kind of gas mileage do you get?" when I had a very large cubic inch Big Block Chevy Camaro and responded " l don't measure it in Miles Per Gallon, I measure it in Grins Per Gallon, and yes I get great GPG.

 

Th absolute cheek of it.

 

LA is full of nice cars so people don't go crazy for these kind of cars like they do in other parts but still get a good amount of comments on it. I've had a lot of people say my 355 is pretty, a few asked me if it's new and have also had a few cell phone pics taken.

Funniest one was this chick in her late 20s/early 30s come up to me at the gas station:

Her: Is that a Testarossa?
Me: No, it's a 355.
Her: Oh ok, but they're kind of similar right?
Me: Yes somewhat (wasn't about to go in heavy technical detail).
Her: Well it's sooooo cute omg you're so lucky!
Me: Thank you and that's the first time I've heard it's cute lol

 

She's a keeper!

 

I was walking out the supermarket toward my 360 Spider. A mother with a kid was walking past me in the opposite direction. I didn't catch what the kid said, but his mom said "no hon, it's a Lamborghini". (!?!?!)

 

Lamborghini and Mustang is the most frequent comments I have received, hence Lambo Mustang

 

I've overheard many a dad argue with their kid saying mine was a lambo while the kid was correct in the fact it's a Ferrari.

 

But more importantly, was she cute?!

 

Recently at a frequented breakfast spot in Woodland park, guy wearing cammo and NASCAR gear asked older gentleman if the Ferrari in the parking lot was his, he said no...Cammo guy precedes to say how his 2013 Mustang is such a better car....gives the old guy examples as to why that is so....older guy just nods and says, well that sounds nice.... I didn't feel the need to speak up and say it was mine.
Watched cammo dude walk around my car upon leaving, checking it out closely. I noticed when I went out, one of my valve caps was mysteriously missing..... Hope it looks good on his car...

 

And did she have a clear bra?

 

When I first got the car, my very own dear sweet (old) mother kept on referring to my car as a "Faroofi". It was unbearable. She's got it now, with lots of "think 4-R-E" coaching.

 

Yeah, I think women tend to say that it looks more like a Mustang. Here's one that has happened to me from last year...

I had a college age woman driving a Mustang convertible stopped right next to me on a red light today.

She: Is that the new Mustang?
Me: Yes. (being sarcastic)
She: Cool! I think I'll trade mine in for one!
Me: (stared and LOL!)

 

She was sort of cute yeah. Nothing special but let's just say I wouldn't have said no

My 355 does NOT have a clear bra haha

 

Wow. Some people man.

 

Went up to a guy wearing a Ferrari (Puma) jacket in a hotel lobby recently. Told him I liked it. I had on a Ferrari hat myself and politely asked if he owned a Ferrari. He said "no, why do you ask?" I pointed to the logo on his jacket. He said, "oh, this is for a soccer team."
There were no other logos on his jacket, just the Scuderia shield we all know so well.
I just laughed and said, "ok, sorry to bother you."

 

Right after I got my car (yellow 348), I was with a buddy and we were at the Wendy's drive-thru. The guy at the drive-up window opens it up and is like "DAAAAAAAAYM SON THAT'S A SICK LAMBO!". I was like "Thank you but it's actually a Ferrari". He said "NO DAWG THAT'S A LAMBO DUDE!". I laughed a bit but had no real response. I'm not sure why he thought the guy driving wouldn't know what kind of car it was. My buddy was laughing his ass off the whole time.

 

For some reason that reminds me of a time when a regular at our local pub got sick of listening to a couple of loudmouths spouting off about how they were making a killing in the stock market, and getting everything wrong. Obviously had no clue...

Anyway, our regular set them straight - translation, called them out and tore a strip off them. This of course annoyed they guy, especially in front of the girl, and arguments ensued, in which the guy looked dumber and dumber.

After a little while of this, our regular got sick of it all, and left, hopped in his Gallardo and drove off.

Seeing this, the guy started yelling at the girl "Yo, yo, yo *****! That's a mother(effing) Lamborghini. Dude just peeled off in a mother(effing) Lamborghini, *****."

To which she replied "Yeah but dat's a old one. He be ballin' like he say he do, how come he don't be driven' no new car"

We still laugh about that one.

 

While standing next to my 375MM Spyder at a local car show, I overheard the fellow next to me explaining to a friend of his (who was a novice to old cars, I' m suspecting, and was wanting to impress him).... "This is a really rare car..a Ferrari, and worth a lot of money....it worth $100,000. Isn't a beautiful car?" (At the time, the car was worth $2Mil.....). I never said a word.....

 

Well give the guy credit. As Meatloaf sang, "2 out of 3 ain't bad".

 

I was in the elevator in my office building wearing a red fleece with a small Ferrari emblem on the front and some torn jeans with my Crocs , guy says laughingly " you got the car to match that jacket "? My response was : As a mater of fact I do. He was scratching his head as the elevator opened as we walked out. Ps. I've also been asked in the same elevator if I was with maintenance and I said yes.

 

That was innocent and well-meaning, just horribly misinformed and off by magnitudes! 💰

Same thing happened to me at work. Wearning my Ferrari Pumas and someone said, in a full elevator, "Don't you have to have a Ferrari to wear those?" I told him not to the best of my knowledge, but I bought one just to be safe.

The other thing I hear all the time is..."Want to trade?" No sir, I do not want to trade for your very loud Subaru rally tribute car.
