I'd tell him to quit worrying about me and go do something constructive like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcdxJP_ADsM&feature=related
Got nothing on me...I live in the land of rusty a$$ pick ups with confederate flags and shotguns in the back windows. In fact, I followed a '65 International pick up (multi-colored too) with no tailgate or muffler 17 miles on the way to work. Must have been running about 5 to 1 air/fuel ratio...I smelled like nasty a$$ exhaust all day. I think the school colors here are camoflauge and hunter orange.
Thanks for sharing THAT with the class! Reminds me of the movie Dodgeball..."Is it neccessary for me to drink my own urine, no, but it's sterile and I like the taste."
AAAHahahaha I just sent the link to my girlfriend who is sitting across from me, telling her to look at the cute little monkey. She gagged. Hilarious.
I find it helps that I am a short, chubby, bald-headed guy when driving the 575M. Nobody seems to mind I have a Ferrari. Plus my car does not look like a race car. I guess most of the guys are happy they are cuter than I am and most of the women think the car is nice, but they can do better with some Porsche or Corvette guy. No negative comments in 33 years of driving Ferraris, just lots of Mustangs that want to race. Corvette owners more sophisticated, and do not want to play. Fear of embarrassment, even though nearly all the C6s are as quick as my car. Have to admit in the early days nobody knew what they were, just that they were attractive. A different world now.

I always tell people I'm driving it to the car wash for the owner. Then I never get questions like how fast does it go. One of my favorite times when in professional school we are all out at a bar. The other 2 guys are trying to make time with some ladies. One of the guys says "we are in xyz school" to impress the ladies. Girl says "you are all in XYZ school?" I immediately say "oh no" "They are not me" "You know those metro busses?" Proudly I say... "I wash those".
FBB- As usual a unique and humorous take on the world. If you can do a curl cast (right and left) and a pile cast, we could end up being best of friends. Four weights forever. Taz Terry Phillips
Hanging out with you MUST be fun. Do you find yourself getting into "Larry David" type of situations? Because that happens to me all the time..
Since you've seemed to move from weasels to monkeys..... I overheard your wife talking about how the male enhancement product hadn't worked for you.... Image Unavailable, Please Login
The negative reactions are from people that either cant buy one,dont have the nerve to buy one , their wife WONT LET LET THEM buy one. It all leads to envy,jealousy,coveting.....or it could be said there are alot of bungholes out there. I have heard it all. I had a neighbor that came over the 1st day I got the car & instead of saying congrats or its nice........he stands back a few feet & says,"Look at that big chip in the bumper" ..mind you this is the same guy whose wifes car has had a dent in it for months cause she got drunk & sideswiped someone,which I promptly brought to his attension.LOL ...that was all I got from him after that.
Keep it up chief and I will get up from my chair and roundhouse your a$$ Image Unavailable, Please Login
I had a classic one of them "moments" a few months ago not long after I got my 355. I went to the local motor store to get some cleaning products (rags and polish etc) and I parked it pretty much right outside the doors as the bays are bigger (less chance of some tool bashing the doors with thiers) Anyway, I get me stuff and goto pay, there was quite a long queue and as I was stood there, these too young male staff members while serving were quite litterally slagging off "Ferrari's" between themselves and the customers they were serving, using mine as an example of thier "downfalls" and how only "sad lonely middle aged men" buy them (im neither sad or middle aged) and "how they are compensating for something" and how thier cars would "OWN IT!" etc etc....obviously pure jealousy. So I get to the counter, and they are still at it, hands the stuff I want to them, keeping schtum as I was finding it rather amusing....finally he asks me for the amount...at which point I root in my pocked for my wallet, in the process taking out the ferraris nice red key and key fob, and plonk it on the counter as if I was taking it out to get at my wallet...well...this guys face was an absolute picture when he saw it and realised that for the past 10 mins I had heard everything him and his pal were saying I gave him the money he gave me my change and I said "btw, ferraris compensate for small wallets, as I have too much money to stuff in it" smiled and left hehehe
First time I ran into that sort of attitude was over thirty years ago, and I was driving a Fiero of all cars. Don't take it personally. It says a lot more about him than it does about you.
Countless rednecks here ,some of my friends are rednecks. All have either vette or harley,the same guy has a pickup truck that says harley whatever on it,the guy with the pickup & harley sticker might not even own a motorcycle,how funny is that . I like neither & can buy both. Not my style. have heard it all from "vette guy","viper guy".& of course"pickup truck guy", the guy that has a truck for no reason other than to have one & frowns on me for having a nice car,see's me coming in side mirror while he is in right lane going 50mph on the highway,then quickly gets in the left lane to cut me off,or if he cant cut me off quick enough he gives me the finger as I pass,why I have no clue (If a redneck reads this feel free to explain,write it in crayon).Yes, the beauty of rednecks. So one day I came out of a store , there is a scruffy looking guy ,similar to zztop but thinner & stunk out loud from a distance & probably made his own whiskey. Said my car sounded like a weed wacker, not hello , just the weed wacker comment. So I ask this "gentleman" ,"What did you drive here or did you walk?",he points to a P.O.S 1988Ford ranger, rusted , primered , falling apart , cap different color that the body. A masterpiece.Moron,total moron. I never tell harley guy he looks like an idiot in his chaps riding a primitive noisemaker with a skank on the back,I dont tell the viper guy he's a loser for spending all that money on a Dodge,or say to the vette guy " whats it like to own a car thats A DIME A DOZEN,WHAT ORIGINALITY",or tell the pickup truck guy he needs to get a life & change your wifebeater.I dont say a word ....but THEY sure are opinionated arent they. I dont think anyone here bought a Ferrari for anyone to "like them".But it has made us "suffer" through all the hot women that gravitate to Ferrari's.
Hey, I have a 2008 HD Rocker C! Although I never wear chaps and I always cover my "Born To Lose" and "Fuc_ The World" tattoos when I drive my F355. LOL P.S. To show you guys what a "class act" I actually am, even though I ride a Harley, here's an even better monkey YouTube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DBuk91phkI&feature=related
Monkeys seem to enjoy that. Our very own Jetfixr, aka Weasel, aka Marlin Perkins wildlife expert, posted another video like that the other night! You sickos!!!!!!!!!!
