Funniest/Stupidest comments you have received about your Ferrari

Oh, and exactly how many Ferraris has your dumbass drummer owned?

 

Same here, have had 3 over the years and no one at work ever knew. Never wanted it to be some type of "flex" so I'm fine driving my Civic to work every day

 

What's wrong with flexing?

He is not my drummer. He is the drummer for my boss's band. While I also do music, I am not in the nickleback inspired radio rock that they are.

I guess he works on bmws and drove an f430 once.

Oh, I know. That was your response to your boss (without getting you fired).

 

So he is an expert!!!!!!!!

 

An expert at giving YMCA locker room handies.

Because I don't have guns like that!!

 

I work for a company with 100k+ employees. I work from home. My group (40ish people) is geographically distributed. The only way they will find out I have a Ferrari is if I talk about it in a Teams channel. I don't know what anyone else in my group drives. I'm going to assume it's an assortment of European and Asian brands that we don't get here in the US, minivans, SUVs, and Teslas.

 

Maybe the Ferrari is not a DD. I would also imagine its difficult to to advocate for a raise if your Ferrari cost more than your boss's house. If you've ever had employees, you know that compensation decisions are sometimes based on presumed need. On the other hand, I would likely be more understanding of need knowing if a worker owned a Ferrari and still had it serviced annually by the dealer.

 

So I was at my boss's house for a few beers and he showed me a song and I did just that. Before I could finish he said you're gonna say **** like that about my drummer every time I play a song, aren't you? I said you know me too well.

Pulled up to Walgreens last night for some cigs… parked it, left it running, walking towards the store and there’s a group of kids hanging around outside the door….

A barrage of comments and questions flow as I approach the group, “Man! You rich! What I gotta do to get me a car like that? What do you do for a living? What’s your secret?”

Me. “Rich? No. I’m not rich. I’m irresponsible. There’s a difference. Secret? No wife, no kids, work hard, be the best.”

GOOD ONE...

 

I’ve had a few nice sports cars in my life. I always get asked “what year is your car?” This always seemed like a nosy or uneducated question to me. I like talking about cars but I would rather not tell people I’m driving a ten year old car instead of telling them something interesting about it. How do you folks respond to this when asked?

 

I honestly never get that question other than from friends that are curious… strangers mostly just ask what I do for a living, how much was it, how fast does it go, what model it is and what’s the secret to able to own one.

I'll take that question any day over where I work or how much I paid for it.

I have a black 308 coupe and the most asked questions are: 1) nice car - what year? 2) How fast have you had it up to? and 3) Is that a 308 - where's the top go?

 

Ditto

 

I disagree with you about being "nosy or uneducated". When I get questions like what year is the car, what model is it, what engine is in it, how fast can it go, etc., I find people are just genuinely interested. You have to realize that while we are real car people, some others are just casual observers. Their questions are just honest curiosity. I always answer them gladly.

If they are kids wanting to take a picture, I tell them to get in the car and I'll take a pic of them!

 

I get all the time:

• What Ferrari is that?
• What gas mileage does it get?
• Maintenance must be expensive Ferrari’s break all the time.

 

I'm with you with one exception...When I am at shows, or other events, I always offer sit-ins to parents and escorted children...the stipulation is to follow instructions like getting in slowly and carefully...don't mess with switches or buttons etc. I make sure the parent pays attention and know the reasons why...I usually let the parent make the decision of who goes first...if the kid screws up the parent loses his/her turn...Works like a charm and I do take photos of them enjoying the event. Many never get an opportunity to enjoy a Ferrari for a few minutes. It helps teaching kids to respect the property of others...

 

Number one question I get is "what year is it?" Never occurred to me that it's anything but a genuine question, or a quick conversation starter. I just answer "95" and almost every time the response is a smile and "beautiful car".

Then again I have pop up headlights, so while Ferraris can be timeless, maybe more than I think realize it's not a recent model.

Don't believe I've ever been asked what I do for work, and been asked what I paid/what's it cost maybe 3-4 times. To the last question I reply "as much as a loaded F150" (which was true when I bought it).

When I had the AM V8 Vantage, my reply to cost was "bout as much as a Honda minivan". Puts it in perspective, I think.

 

I think this is the essence of why some find owners to be stuck up or snooty. We have to understand that some simply have no knowledge and don’t know what to ask or are intimidated perhaps and just want to start a conversation. Share the joy. Don’t divide and create boundaries. For some it is a miracle to come across one. They go home telling their family or friends about what an amazing car they saw…and would you believe it? The owner even talked to me about the car. We go home snickering about the foolishness of the question.
I’d look more at it that way.

 

can't do that in our libtard state.... cars broken into literally every second...

 

I began to tell people in staton that I deal firearm when someone ask me what I do for living to afford my cars...
