Funniest/Stupidest comments you have received about your Ferrari

We call those people "democrats" over here.

 

Oh man, that is hitting way below the belt.

 

That's a neat story!

 

I think they prefer to hide behind the term 'progressive' now.

 

If it helps, I've found a good thing to say is a range of how much they're worth, sometimes adding 'and I paid less than that'.

 

Now I know what a Democrat is!

 

Every time I was approached (gas station, etc) and didn't feel like getting in a discussion, I would respond I was a detailer taking the car to/from customer.
That would leave me alone with no animosity or curiousness.

 

Very neat.

 

That's a good idea.

 

"i really have no knowledge of the car. i loved the look, so i stole it."

 

That's a great idea.

 

Odd. I always thought "My Maserati does 185".

(I lost my license; now I don't drive...)

 

And back when that song was written, I dare say there was no Maserati on the planet that would have done 185, unless dropped nose first from 25,000 feet...

But hey. It rhymed.

 

Maybe on Jupiter, but probably wouldn't get to 185 if dropped to Earth.

 

180 only...

 

A good friend of mine, that is of Chinese ancestry, told me that when approached about his car(s) (he had a few nice exotics), and didn't feel like talking, he would just pretend that he didn't speak English...LOL!

 

I do that too but I'm from southern Alabama so its kind of true.

 

Just had a guy ask me if I was famous. I asked him if he knew who I was and he said no. I replied, "well I guess I'm not famous".

 

Most of the time, I am more than happy to answer a few questions or talk about my car.

Only a few people have been annoying; I have been asked if it's a Mustang, a Karman-Ghia, (!) and whether it's a Dino or a Boxer (as if all Ferraris are one or the other. )

Most annoying are the guys who proclaim to know more about the car than I do, usually with wildly inaccurate "facts," then proceed to tell me what they are.

I've only encountered one really rude guy, who yelled at me in traffic while I had my windows down, "Hey, Ferrari! F*** you!"

I responded with, "Thanks! I like it, too!"

 

You almost have to respect that.
I'd have started laughing

 

What would be awesome if you looked at them and in a straight face and totally normally just said "I don't speak English, I'm sorry." And keep repeating that with whatever they reply. Again, in a normal manner and with a straight face.

 

In my area I have received a lot of positive comments. Keep in mind that a jacked up 4x4 is the exotic vehicle of choice where I live so when I first got my car, I was expecting their to be some snide comments. One afternoon I was driving over to my friends house and as a person who was riding a motorcycle was coming toward me (in the opposite lane), apparently didn't like my car, so he decided to flip me off as he went by. Not sure what prompted his reaction as I was behind a car and there was another car behind me.

 

Eek! Where in Michigan are you from? Ferrari are very rare in my corner of the Metroplex, but I've gotten nothing but positive response in my time of F-car ownership.

T

 

That's funny. Hopefully I'll never find myself in a position where this would seem like the only out, but I hope I remember it if that happens.

Unfortunately, driving *any* exotic seems to bring out the worst in a certain segment of the populace.

 

Even Mario thought you had a made up accent!
I nearly choked on my burger when he said that....lol
