    These young dudes again!?! If they made the dough legally to buys those cars, more power to them. Nice color coordination between their outfits and the cars.

    I have no idea who those people are, but I didn't realize the GT2 was such a large car. The 488 isn't that small either at least compared to 355.

    My dad taught me not to sit on my car. Perhaps these young fellows lack a good father-figure in their lives.

    Sounds like they made their money (based on others’ post) fair & square. I see no problem with how they treat their cars. Would it be better if they wrecked the cars on the track?

    As long as they don’t hurt anyone, who are we to judge how they spend their money

    They did... its called you tube. Dougdemuro who highly annoys me did the same. A monetized video gives you 7k per million views, demuro for instance has like 4/5 million views a month for crappy video...instead of hating i decided to try too;)

    This must be in western Maryland or nearby. They just picked up the GT2 in Pennsylvania this week after getting the Pista recently. They live in Maryland and their parents own a gymnastics facility a mile from my house. These two boys are known on the Internet as the Dobre Twins.

    Looks like there is a truck in the background, about to give them an interesting experience!

    I thought the same but looked closer and its going away from them. If that's in the US the truck is on the wrong side of the road.

    I guess unless that is a mirror image as those cars appear to be right hand drive.

    Let's get this right, people on a Ferrari forum are criticising Ferrari owners for being showoffs?

    I hope they enjoy their cars and continue to inspire their generation into buying the high performance marques we love, instead of sitting in the back of autonomous Apple cars. They've also done something with a GTR. Kids who spend money on high performance cars, renting them or buying them or whatever - that's what we all are at heart.

    It was taken in the US, the picture has been flipped - look at the Ferrari logo, which is reversed.

    Agreed, I think also the photo makes sense with the added context. YouTube vloggers often have these eye-catching shots (standing on a car) to get more clicks and views, and hence revenue.

    Age is irrelevant to their character, they had the initiative to take their love of cars and generate revenue, and I assume to pay for these cars. I see nothing wrong..we are after all not Communists.

    Now if they did or things that endangered or was rude to others, then yes criticism is warranted but based on information so far - I only see a picture designed to get attention, - and they have succeeded yet again.

    I don’t care how you earn your money, as long as it’s legal; and you can what you want with what you buy; but these two are just tools, it’s called respect, valuing property and having standards.

    I too am a capitalist so you are in good company. If they don't own these cars, definitely, agree it's a ********* move to mess with anybody's car!! I hope the real owners of these cars see this picture if so.

    As far as aesthetic standards, (clothes and the composition of photo) - I agree it exudes garishness, but I think that was sort of the point, the fact it caught the OPs eye and we're discussing it now is exactly why their intention is to compose the photo as such,

    Meh....paddle shift cars! It would be tough to drive a stick with those cross training fat-soled shoes.

    I still drive barefoot, even with my slimmest of shoes - the brake/gas pedal still to close. Great for heel and toe on track, not so much on the road. Not a complaint, love that Ferrari did that!
