Your most embarrassing, ghetto-move in a Ferrari?

Oh, one other - not ghetto but very embarrassing. I went out once last summer in one
of the loudest Hawaiian shirts ever made in my 328, with the roof off. OMG! I looked like
Magnum in the most embarrassing of ways. Did an illegal U-turn and dashed back home
for a change!

 

Not "my most ghetto", but I did notice a creative "license plate mounting system" on a 430 Challenge last week..

I was at a Ford dealer so my friend could check out some Saleen Mustangs. People came out to admire my yellow 360. They were gawking as I was leaving, so I decided to accelerate hard and zip away. Then suddenly -- Bam! -- I hit a REALLY big speed bump. My head bounced off the ceiling. Very embarrassing.

 

I had an embarrasing moment this weekend. I had a late lunch at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas on Sunday. They opened the Rehab pool there again for summer. If you don't know what Rehab is, think "Sodom" meets "Gammorah" meets "Spring Break" meets "Girls Gone Wild" --and then add in lots of Tequila.

I had the valet park my F430 and when they delivered it, it was right in front the taxi line that was about 50 deep in itsy bitsy bikini clad girls waiting for a cab as the pool was shutting down.

I always thought it would be nice to hear girls shout cat calls at you but honestly.... it was a bit embarrasing!

Now, next time.... I have to bring my camera to document this sexual harassment!

 

LOL. That's good.


Reminds me of another recent 'smooth move' I pulled. Usually don't get goated into showing off, but at a small strip mall I recently rumbled through a few of the local bar flies came out giving me the "burn 'em off" bit. I just waived politely as I parked and ran into an adjoining store to do my business. By the time I came out there was a small crowd outside the tavern all looking, some taking cell pics.
By now the group was really egging me on so, not wanting to disappoint, I tried to display the mightly power of Ferrari..... and only managed to rev the engine, smoke the clutch, and nearly hit a wall. I learned a cheap lesson: don't show off unless you are Schumi.

 

We pulled into a local sandwich shop parking lot for lunch. Upon ordering I remembered I had a coupon for $2 off a sub in the car. Yup, walked out to the TR sitting off by itself in the lot to get it. Got some strange looks from the cashier...

Gave us a good laugh as we left. "Big man in the Ferrari running out to get a $2 coupon!"

 

Sorry I didn't see all the replies to my story!

No I declined any part of the offer, so I was only "out" the stale Marlboros, left behind by a River Oaks housewife...

Well worth it IMO, but from now on I'll use that move from Crocodile Dundie.....LOL!

I actually do drive it to Estate Sales as mentioned above, and even "barter" when I get there!
There a reason the rich are rich, you know.......

 

I remember when that happened!!! lol

 

I knew someone who did that in a BMW, but a Ferrari is better. Too funny.

 

curbed a wheel infront of a large group of tourists in dc. so embarassing!

 

Two weeks ago, there was a large gathering of military officers and their families up in Frederick, MD for a dinner party early one evening. The weather was beautiful, so I thought it would be ideal to bring out my 355. Being a young lieutenant, I wanted to make a favorable impression at the off chance somebody stepped out on the front lawn. Well it didn't take too long and after 30 minutes and three rides later, the car began overheating and I babied it back to the party where everyone was waiting out front. Upon shutdown, I discovered a coolant house had litterally exploded under the front bonnet and a few belongings including a nice leather jacket had become soaked in coolant. I left a nice little puddle in the driveway too. After cooling for a few hours, I put a little water in the motor and drove around the block to a gas station where I had a buddy meet me. I called AAA and after they contacted 6 different wreckers, someone finally came out and it was towed to the shop. I didn't get home till 4 am. As hard as it is to believe, I still don't think anyone noticed...at least that's what I've tried to convince myself.

 

2 weeks ago I went to a thai restaurant.. it was some sort of fusion place..

at the end of the meal they give you this spicy drink to "help digestion"

well on the drive home in the modena I was hit with a super and EXTREMELY hard need to defecate.. we're talking the strongest laxative you can possibly imagine.. you can't stop your bowels from moving.. you have NO CHOICE

so I got out of the car in traffic and took a dump on the side of the road..

it was an interesting view to be sure for the spectators!

 

I think the thread can be closed now, that can't be beat.

 

Did i just freaking read that?

 

Game over, you win!

 

That's laugh out loud funny! Hahaaa!!!

 

And let me add that that post is NOT useless without pics!

 

Which thai restaurant is this? I also live in Philly. I want to make sure I know what i'm facing if my wife and I go there. PM the name.

 

OK yup you got my vote you win hands down....

 

My wife got her hand caught in a 308 headlight door in a parking lot. Not quite like the dump story, but it was pretty embarassing. I had to jump out and pull the door up, since it was 1/2 closed amd would not go back up until it closed all the way.

 

And they Ferrari owner are not regular joes ...

these stories prove it.

Please close the thread before someone else takes a dump... LOL!

 

The crucial question is: did you have paper with you???

 

+1

Now THAT can be painful!

I slammed the lights in the Trans Am on one of my children.........it HURT!!!!!!

Not sure how the strength of the Ferrari motors is, compared to that......

 

Carry your Owner's Manual, at all times.....
