California t rear mirror broken

Some people just aren't willing to accept that pretty much everything on these cars is sub-par to what one could and should realistically expect from a car in this bracket. Ferrari as a brand generally treats most customers and owners like second class people. Just wait until you see how a bunch of parts for your car are NLA or come as crazy priced kits (Cali T window switches for example) because having good parts support for the street cars is not worthy of Ferrari.

Ferrari factory paint is garbage (when talking about the base colors, I've never looked in detail what the special colors look like), the interior materials are very average and build quality is poor, the sticky switches are just an insult, cars needing engine mounts and shocks after 20k miles would be completely unacceptable on many other cars, yet on Ferraris they are "normal wear and tear", even when the cars mostly just see smooth cruising use. All the electrical gremlins that somehow only bother Ferraris unless you plug them on a charger if you plan to leave them for 10 minutes (which is not true based on my few months of battery tracker logs, the battery charge level is fine even after cranking it after sitting for 1.5 months)... List keeps going on.

I've given up worrying about it. It's frustrating and annoying and as my background is in automotive engineering, I hate seeing this crap. But I guess it's the cost of admission.

I'm on my second one, so I guess I have some masochistic tendencies.

Anyway. Another TLDR post

 

So in summary:

we have one guy that knocks his own mirror off by being clumsy, and instead of owning the mistake tries to blame the person who designed the part at least 20 years ago (even though nobody has complained about these mirrors coming off in any numbers, if at all) and based on this mishap, claims the whole car is “a lot of crap”.

and another guy who says “that’s 100% factual statement” then despite this affirmation goes on to claim he’s owned two Ferraris, while at the same insulting the whole spare parts community, of which one of the pillars of said community sponsors this sub forum which he uses for free.

There you have it folks, proof that all sort of crazy folks use the internet and spout “alternative facts”.

 

Jeez fellas, so much ado about nothing.
Really, a mirror and its clip. Life is too short for this.....

 

No one HAS to post here and no one HAS to answer. But if you do:

Please tone it down, all 3 of you.

 

He's an admin, I wouldn't argue with him about rules.

 

No one has been disciplined (yet). You all are warned that further posts of the previous nature will lead to discipline.

I'm not going to get into who started it as almost everyone believes the other party did. We don't accept that kind of tit for tat. If you object to a post then report it, responding in kind or escalating will only make you part of the problem.

 

You don't get to set your own rules. Too argumentative and self-righteous. Goodbye.

 

I think tht was a bit harsh...but then I read your post in Rossa so sounds like the right call.
