Your most embarrassing, ghetto-move in a Ferrari?

I drove my 328 over 100kms to Ikea to buy a $1 plastic toilet brush that was on special offer

 

ok, well in the interest of full disclosure.. I made this story partially up.. I thought the concept was too hilarious not to post

I DID go to a new place in manayunk to eat.. and that place gave you this drink that DID cause that effect.. but I "just barely" made it home before the act..

the part about doing it in the street in the ferrari was a joke.. I'm sorry but I just had to gauge the reaction that would get

 

About 5 years ago my 330 2+2 vapor-locked and stalled at an insanely busy intersection in Plano,TX, 5PM on a mid-summer weekday.

A old beatup car full of hispanic men...no habla englais or whatever... stopped and helped push me into a neighboring Walmart parking lot, where I shopped around for half an hour, until the 330 started again.

Nice bunch of guys, I try to think of them when I start griping about illegals. As they were leaving, one said "cool car, man!"

I've carried a few moldings from home depot in both the 330 and 308.

 

You should have this post deleted.
I am disappointed.

Can't help thinking of Borat "taking care of business next to the Trump tower" in Borat...

LOL. Ok, hook.... line.... sinker......... all of us!

Your penalty for making something like this up should be that it now must really happen to you.

 

I truly am sorry guys.. if I dissapointed you.. but a part of me assumed it's just too ludicrous to believe..

but I have to tell you last friday at this thai place.. that stuff they gave me after the meal was absolutely incredible.. I literally have never had such a hard time keeping feces in my body as I did that 5 minutes

I ran into the bathroom.. it was the only time in my life I felt as if I didn't make it it would come out..

anyway.. definitely in the TMI category (too much information) but hilarious nonetheless

 

What Pap forgot to mention was that there's also a thing called 'work for the dole' - Pap's job is to sell Australia to the rest of the world, seems he's doing quite well!LOL!

 

I do dumb things so often I probably should have my own thread for this, but some of the best ones are:
- camping in a paddock with the 308
- bringing a 2 drawer file cabinet home in the passenger seat with the roof off
- the passenger with giant suitcase home from the airport one
- having to get out and go round to open the passenger door in order to get that window fully up
- never being able to reach the swipe thingy at security gates
- reverse parking perfectly at a kerb outside a restaurant with lots of people watching, with a friend's mum as passenger, but then realising she couldn't open the door because there were plants right alongside
- forgetting that there was a kerb in front of where I'd parked...
and finally the perennial favourite, not seeing the dip in the gutter properly at night when driving into some place with a billion people (and / or all the members of FCA) watching you...

 

OMG are you serious? That is about the funniest thing I ever heard, though I guess it wasn't funny at the time.

 

BANNED...

 

My pre op tranny was real, I still have nightmares.......

Houston is just a great place, for adventures like that....

 

The Spanish Inquisition??

Best,

My dad and I had rented a red 348 in Las Vegas one year. We went cruising down the strip, but not being familiar with the city and not knowing where we were going, we wound up way off the strip in a horrible area of the city and decided to get drinks and ask directions at a burger king. while we were inside, a lot of the locals were looking at us curiously, considering the way we looked (a hippie and a black man) and the car we were driving (the 348). as we left, my dad snapped a quick picture of our bizarre situation, and when we got back in to the car, a young intoxicated man with a black eye came hobbling up to my dad on the driver's side literally wanting to start a fight. my dad and i got the hell out of there, and now i know where never to go if i ever own a ferrari.

I was picking the 355 Spider up from the valet at a very high end restaurant and had two hot chicks with me.

We get in the car , them siting on top of each other...top is down.

There is another car right in front of me keeping me from leaving so I figure i will go around them.

I shift into reverse and CRUNCH into a pole.

A dozen people watching burst out laughing and pointing.

Never been more embarrassed in my life and realized that day that I just aint THAT cool.

 

I was in the 8th grade and I went to school in the absolute WORST part of town. I was afraid to step outside the school is was that bad. Anyway, one night towards the end of the school year, a relative calls me and asks if I want to be picked up the next day from school in his 328 GTS. I gladly said yes and couldn't sleep that night due to excitement. The next day goes by VERY slowly until the bell rang at 2:30 to leave. I grabbed my bag and ran out to the parking lot and easily found the red Ferrari sitting there. We put the bag in the trunk and I got in. About 3/4 of the school's population (not joking) was crowded around the car in awe. Keep in mind this was the worst part of town. My relative tries starting the engine......nothing. Try it again.......nothing. Kids from every direction start laughing as embarassment begins to set in. 15 minutes later, we finally start the car and head on down the road. People came out of their little appartments and shacks to get a view of the car. We booked it as soon as we got out of that neighborhood.

I saw that movie.

 

which movie?

 

Pulled into the gas station, filled up, and as I was pulling out, the lip of my Scuderia kissed the curb. I saw a few people watching and pointing, but didn't know how many for sure - I just wanted to leave and assess the damage.

When I got out of there and parked it, a big white scratch across the front of the lip of the bumper was visible. Thank goodness for Invisiguard or Invisishield or whatever that 3M product is called. It took everything and saved the paint. Everything was right back to normal so that I can not do it again.

 

Hilarious stories guys. I don't have a Ferrari yet, however can still relate. I have done some pretty ghetto and embarassing things. Nowadays if I find myself doing something like that I really have fun with it.

 

LMAO! I have been in a similar situation just not in a Ferrari. That is classic.

 

I got another one....

This past weekend at a local 'cars-n-coffee' event. I pulled into the parking lot, spot a car that is almost a mirror of mine, park right next to it. I'm sitting there for a second admiring the twin next to me, decide to get out so I grab my stuff, open the door, and klunk right into the other car.

Luckily not a major door ding type of thing, but still..... UHG! The shame of it all.

Sorry Don!

 

i wouldn't find any of the above "ghetto" or embarassing.

i did once stall after filling up with gas at a station and didn't know how to disengage the steering lock. that and the subsequent call to the dealer witha bunch of ppl milling around the car WAS embarassing

 

White Castle drive-thru, 430 Spyder, top down then ate 'em in the car. Does that count?

 

Was at the fire station and the starter would not engage (turned out to be bad ground) the guys pushed it to help me get it started to get home. Gotta love the eletrical gremlins in a Mondial.
