Do you feel sad when your Ferrari is gone

I only have one semi exotic car (2023 Roma). It had to go in for some very minor warranty work. They told me it would be several days until they get to it. My daily is a BMW sedan lease. I really do not feel the same without access to a Ferrari whenever needed. I feel like Ray Liota at the end of Goodfellas.

 

I wouldn't say "sad" but you get spoiled with F cars.

I jump in a rental car and I'm like "what a piece of crap!"

 

No.

Don't get me wrong, I adore my Italian cars but it's not a "no", its a "not right now". Then again I also live in a place where snow and salt coat the roads so after 20+ years you build a tolerance I guess.

 

I miss mine and it’s in the garage—- it’s been raining every day for weeks and for the next many upcoming weeks so I don’t get to drive it…. It’s upsetting for sure.

I am traveling with the family right now, and I miss my mistress, left all alone with a brute Hellcat. I cannot wait until I get home…after the suitcases are in the house, my wife unpacks and does laundry as I start the baby up and go for a little tour

I do miss her when she is away for service. Each morning I give her ass a tap as I walk past her to the Merc to go to the office and I do the same when I arrive home.
Last year when I was in hospital one thing that was always on my mind was to get home and drive her when I was well enough, which I did. Now, my goal each drive is to put as much mileage as I can. When my time comes one thing I will not regret is not having driven my Ferrari enough because you can never drive your Ferrari enough.

 

Not especially sad when an F-car is gone, but I miss all my cars when absent before returning to use, so maybe a little sad. Each car in the household brings a different pleasure in use.

There is another moment of "gone" when one sells a car. I sell my toys when the passion has passed. When an F-car is gone I notice a while later the feeling includes the observation that the vastly-higher-than-other-cars cost per mile is not missed. No sadness is felt after "gone" when sold.

 

I’m having 1,000 square feet of hardwood flooring done in my house - have to store furniture in the garage so stashed my Ferrari at a buddy’s house about 10 miles away.

flooring guys said they would be done in a week - but it’s now been two weeks and they don’t look half done to me!

I really do feel sad when the Testarossa is in the shop. I totally understand owning 2-3 classic Ferrari's now, just so that one of them works.

 

Try when it's gone forever -- like Frodo and the Ring! I keep saying to myself: "It's Gone!"

 

My f430 has been gone 2 months now waiting for shocks to be rebuilt. I haven’t driven it since October due to a fuel smell (turned out to be fuel lines). Luckily the 575 is driving beautifully. I agree with the thought that u need a minimum of 2 fcars. Good chance 1 will be in the shop.

 

That's why you get multiple.

Problem solved.

 

Yes! I had to ship mine out of state for repair work and that ended up being 9 months without a Ferrari. I said never again so I bought a spare Ferrari just for these circumstances.

The other day I was at a track and blew the tire. I got it inflated enough to get home, grabbed the other Ferrari, and headed back to the track.

 

Yes I miss mine.

 

Mine’s back! Took the flooring guys three weeks instead of one, then I had to re-install all the appliances as I put baseboard back up…

Sure did miss my baby, but now running into issues on getting some projects done on it.
