    I have a couple of wierd-o cars: Fiat Jolly, Fiat Multipla, and "Captain America" a 330 America. Captain America isn't so much wierd as he is old and not instantly recognizable (to the general public) as a Ferrari. I have a laminated sheet of paper that I place on the dash when I go out. It simply has on it:

    Answers to your questions:
    1) Ferrari.
    2) 1964.
    3) 300.
    4) No.
    5) 13, except for the blue one.

    I'm surprised at how many people read it and laugh. They already know four of the five questions:
    What kinda car is it?
    What year is it?
    How much horsepower does it have?
    Is it for sale?
    The last answer is there to confuse them.

    This is the top dumb question and answer in my book. I get asked the normal questions about the car concerning horsepower, speed and the other things plus how many tickets have I gotten? So far no tickets. I'm pretty straight up in my answers because they are just curious.

    Jon,

    I loved this one:

    "Geico insurance girl: What's the make of the car?

    Me: Ferrari

    Geico insurance girl: Who makes that?"

    the answer should have been:

    You: Fiat.

    Regards,

    Art s.

    Last year a person who was renting Ferrari's started talking with me at a show. I was just looking at one of his Ferrari's.

    So he said: "It's a beautiful car hé"

    I said: "Yeh, but I'm more into older Ferrari's"

    He: "Oh yes, you mean a 355, I like them too"

    I said: "No older Ferrari's, like 250 GT's, 275 GTB's from the 50's or 60's"

    He: "Oh yes, with those nice lines."

    I said: "Or limited modern cars like 550 Barchetta or the Enzo."

    He: "Do you know that there is a new version of the Enzo."

    I: "No, I didn't knew that."

    He: "It's the new F430."

    I continued: "That not a new version of the Enzo, it's the new version of the 360 Modena. Enzo's are much faster and more expensive."

    He: "Oh really. Is the Enzo actually street legal?"

    I: "Yes, all Enzo's are street legal."

    He: "I thought they were only race cars."

    Then I got off.

    One afternoon I was doing my thing in the garage, I had the door open, I felt the presence of a pair of eyes staring at my GT4.
    I was cleaning the wheels and looked up and saw a father with his little son.

    The father was trying to impress his son on his knowledge of sport cars, while the son didn't seem to care much about the car.

    Looking over the front bonnet the father asks me: "that must be a small engine?'"

    "I suppose so", I tell him.

    He goes on "How many BHP?"

    "255" I replied.

    "Wow", he yells, while he continued to stare at the master brake cylinder.

    BTW, I tell him, the engine is at the back.

    With a real stupefied look he stumbled over his words and says:
    "Can my kid have look at it?"


    Another one for those familiar with a non-red ferrari:
    Is that a ferrari?
    YES
    I thought they were red?
    NO
    Did you do that colour yourself?
    NO
    Is that an original ferrari colour?
    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
