Use of Ferrari for un-Ferrari-like uses

I think so, but I hope the second is a photochop. Otherwise, I think I just might break into tears ;-(

 

first pic is rob
3rd pic is dan

and the 2nd picture is not a potoshop.

These cars are a lot more fun when you realize they are just cars!

trust me you'll live longer and happier if you enjoy your toy as a toy.

 

I've brought potted plants and small pieces of lumber and trim moulding from Home Despot numerous times in the 308. I've used it periodically as a daily driver and even put 1200 miles on it the first month I had it.

 

HOLY SHAT! I JUST SAW THAT 2ND PIC!!!!

Dayum dude! i hope the soles on those shoes are seriously clean or you're using AC DC instead of pchop.

 

Once took a mattress home on the roof of the GT4, and used that car, plus a Lotus Elan (92) to deliver Pizzas. Even have a picture somewhere of the Ferrari with a Domino's sign on top. All this was in Australia btw.

The 355 has done numerous Home Depot runs, not too mention dropping the GF's kids at school (one at a time!).

I would say that the most UN-Ferrari thing I have ever done with it is drive it to work on the 405. I am positive Enzo didn't anticipate his cars would average 10 mph on a daily basis...

These pictures must be taken from the movie " Jackass "...

 

Wife traded in the Suburban kid hauler for a 456GT kid hauler for her 40th. birthday.

Turns out the 456 burns more gas than a surburban and carries less kids...go figure, who would have thought that...so I bought her a S class Merc to save money...some where in the excel speadsheet it all makes sence...well I guess you only turn 40 once

Still have the 456 and the Merc!

Uh...yeah: must be an East-Coast thang????? I enjoy the crap out of my 355 and don't cry when I get a scratch or chip in the paint, but still...ya don't see me intentionally abusing it.

As for the 2 fu(ktards standing on the hood of that 360...that's just plain wrong. Looking at them it's obvious they're celebrating same-sex marriage laws being passed.

 

Au contraire, that's a very "Ferrari-like" purpose: When the kid needs diapers, he need 'em NOW!

 

Sorry , they dont look "not normal " just a bit stupid.

 

Thats Emil on the hood, he is a WC'er, he moved when he figured out only CA allows for same sex marriges

 

Un-Ferrari?
Maybe not!!!

How'd you keep the beer in the back from "skunking"? Short trip?

 

Have used both my 348 spider and former TR to haul ladders, short 4’ step, tools, paint etc etc to my cottage on the cape when I head down to do repairs. Last year had 3 replacement Anderson crank out window sashes, rough size 18” x 66” in the passenger seat with ladder etc. Did get an odd look from the toll collector on the Tobin Bridge!
When I was unloading everything from my TR a passing cottage owner remarked I must be 1 high priced carpenter! Told him no, good carpenters deservedly make more than I per hour!
My choice for the 100+ mile drive is my Ferrari or the SUV. Which would you choose?

 

Just the normal stuff for my 550:

Moved around lots of plants and things, especially when I was switching apartments or getting new plants at Home Depot or something.

Several times loaded up crap at IKEA - just backed into the loading areas like it was perfectly normal. No one said anything unusual, either. Guess they see that kind of thing all the time. Never picked up any furniture there, but still, more plants, a few lamps, other random household stuff.

Oh, then there's the time I drove out to a farm in upstate new york to pick up fresh duck and foie gras. Maybe that sounds a little bit ferrari, until you actually look at the farm, which was about 2 miles in along a dirt/gravel private road and had no retail establishment at all. Just pulled up along side some packing warehouse, went inside, picked up and paid for my cooler full of stuff in some shipping office, and went on my merry way.

Used to use it occasionally to commute to another state where I had an ongoing project I was working on. Except where I was going I couldn't really let the car be seen, so I swapped it for a beater I kept out there locked in a public storage facility. Backing my car into there every week or two probably looked a little un-ferrari like.

What can I say. It's the only car I really have. And sometimes you need to do stuff and you need your car to do it.

 

I do everything from weekly food shopping to Home Depot runs in the Lotus. The only thing it can't carry in the trunk is golf clubs and my lawn mower.

try doing something ferrari really wasn't made for...try to race it

 

I picked up a propane cylinder for my BBQ while I was up in Vermont back in October. Was kinda funny, I drove up to the propane shed, and the guy handed me the tank. Then he looked at my TR, then back at me, then back at my TR. He then asked if it was real, I said yes it's real and I drive it daily. He said that was cool, and that he used to work on Ferraris back in the day. He then went on to tell me that "working on them" usually entailed driving them hard for an hour or so... I told him that was not necessary with my TR as it is exercised quite frequently! - DH


DARTH -

 

Before you all have heart attacks about Rob's pictures, a few things:

1. They're all real, and of EC'ers.

2. They're not from 'Jackass'.

3. Consider the possibility that maybe, just maybe, once in a while even a Ferrari gets slightly damaged, needs to go to the body shop, and that perhaps it might be fun to take some "interesting" pictures the day before it's scheduled to go in...

 

HAHA....from a Ferrari mechanic to a propane and propane accessories saleman, interesting.

Makes me think....."This here is the Char-King 5000.....DAMNIT DALE!"

 

I've been wondering who was gonna fill AllanLambo's shoes since he left.

 

You got me!!! full-retraction of said insults. It's still freaky to look at....but I may just have done the very same thing!

Now can someone take this hook out of my gill?
