    So what you're saying is that I should said that I have a special agreement with NASA and they ship me specially prepared batches of rocket fuel just for my Ferraris. They're so special that they can't run right on anything that normal cars can run on.

    I get it. I'll be better prepared for next time. :)

    I don't and I don't.

    The truth is that I rarely talk to strangers. One of the things that really bothers me is when people press you to talk to them and when you do, they don't believe you. I've found it's better to keep 99% of my life to myself and keep almost all conversations at a surface level. Of course after you get to know people after months or even years and they learn a little more they get mad that you've been holding out on them but in my experience, 99% of people don't really do well with the truth when the truth is beyond 2 standard deviations from normality.

    I am sure that I'm not alone in that and that's probably why we all have these experiences listed in this giant long thread.

    Took my 456 to a cars & coffee last weekend. Kid about 7, maybe 8 makes a beeline for the car as I'm getting out, looks me straight in the eye and says "your car is ugly."

    Thank you for that brutally honest assessment.

    He's wrong.

    The 456 is my favorite of all the four-seater Ferraris.

    Proving, yet again, how rare good parenting is these days. A kid that age has no business running around those cars alone and if a parent was with him he should have been taken home immediately and paddled.

    If it makes you feel better, my 9 and 12 year old sons absolutely love the 456. They think it's one of the best Ferraris ever and they love that it has four seats. They really want me to get one.

    You should buy DocRogers' 456 then because he apparently has an ugly one lol!

    456 is a beautiful car! I can see how someone doesn't appreciate it in pics as much but when you see it in person it's stunning.

    Don't feel bad, took my grandson to his first Cars & Coffee awhile back, and he thought the coolest car there was a POS Honda with the hood cut out and a huge air intake sticking up through the hole cut. Not a lot of nice cars there, so I moved him over to a Dino 246. Hopefully I can steer him in the correct direction over time.

    I took one for a test drive about a year ago. It's a kick ass car to drive - even though this one had an automatic - and the prettiest of the modern four-seaters.

    Your boys are right. You should get one.

    Well, I look around that think that maybe I should buy another Ferrari and then I do a major or pay some insurance bills and I'm think to myself that three Ferraris are PLENTY. Technically just one is plenty but I love them too much to go down to one (or two).

    "Fortunately, I drive it from inside, where I don't have to look at the outside." :D

    (That's what I tell people about my "angry lizard" EVO. :p)
    (Except the EVO is even uglier inside. ;))

    Too true, Mike. I was showing a 'fresh out of restoration' Porsche 356 Roadster at a concours when two kids with Daddy in tow came up and started putting their hands all over it. I asked nicely (I thought) for them to not touch the car. Daddy and the kids walked away without saying a word. Well, it turns out that Daddy was the owner of a local high end/specialty car dealership who should have known better.
