a guy today thought my 360 was an enzo......

 

Two comments I got that were out of line were:

Is that a Ferrari? So what do you do for a living?

or Is that a Ferrari? How much do you make?

 

fairly off topic but just as idiotic as the mustang line.

was at a devner broncos game about a year and a half ago and as we are leaving my friends dad saw a red Lamborghini Murcialago (sp?) and said "hey guys look its that new ferrari enzo car"

if he wasnt my ride home i would have kicked him.

"Wanna trade" when another car is next to you.

"How much does it cost" or "Is that a Ferrari" when parked and standing nearby.

"Hah, hah, hah, why don't you get a Chevy" when pushing a stalled 308 off the road, in the midst of a crowd.

Otherwise, nothing too radical, so far.

P.S. Why is this only NY Tri-state?

 

hahaha - thats the one Bailey! Nice elderly couple just coming out of the church across the street I think. They were driving that stylish Grand Marquis in the pic!

 

oh yeah, forgot about that one, heard it too.

 

We've got to keep a couple of posts local to our own Yin -

But thanks for contributing.

 

The all-time stupidest car comment I ever experienced did not relate to a Ferrari. I was riding with a friend in his Jaguar XKE roadster. We stop at a light and a car pulls up on the driver's side. The woman in the passenger's seat who looked to be in her 80's, rolls down the window and asks my friend, "What kind of car is that?" My friend in his native British accent says, "Why Madame, it's a Jag-u-ar." The light changes and we take off. A few block later, we stop at another light. The same car pulls up. The woman rolls down the window again and says to my friend, "Excuse me, Sir, but my husband says you're wrong. It's an MG."

 

people mistake ferrari's for mustangs that much?

 

Hey, I grew up in Howard Beach, Queens!

 

Queens in the house!

You're more than welcome to participate, as are others outside of this forum (we don't discriminate here). Given how large NYTS is, though, sometimes it's just fun to start some local threads.

Come by often.

 

I was at NYIAS and some kid said look the new Mustang!! We were at the Ferrari display. He then had an arguement with his mom about how it is the horse and its a mustang then i guess he finally realized it was a Ferrari.

 

I got that same coment on my modena

 

BTW - I didn't mean to imply that you or the NYTS region treat others any less well than resident members; you've always been a model of courtesy! Just wanted to throw in some ex-resident credentials

 

In my experience, people who haven't got a clue which car is which (which probably decribes 80% of the American population) see the little horse and immediately think "Mustang." I guess that's the power of advertising.

 

Odd, although, I can't say anyone has ever mistook my mustang for a ferrari. Probably just the horse thing.

 

The latest "interesting" comment. I was at a gathering this morning for planning a benefit event. I offered my car for rides to the event coordinator and we were talking about it. Some of the others (all women) overheard snippets and came over to find out what we were talking about. So the coordinator says "he's offering rides in his Ferrari for the event". Like a chorus, 3 out of 7 ask "Is it RED?". It was just so funny how spontaneous and simultaneous the question was . It was also pretty clear that if I didn't confirm it was red, they would have been very disappointed!

 

Yes, they do.

I've even got "Is that a Karmann-Ghia?"

 

When driving my 75 GT4 around I used to allways get this comment , WoW , is that a Lamborghini Countach?, and i would say no its a Ferrari GT4 Dino, + they would say A What ? and look at me like I had 3 heads on my shoulders, or kids would walk by the car parked and ask Do the doors open straight up? +I would say no they open regular, then they would walk away dissappointed. But I think the best is alot of times people would walk up to the front of the car look at the ferrari badge, then give me a dirty look!

 

My car never get`s mistaken for a mustang All I get is thumbs up from people....

 

Oh yea I drive a 87 930.

 

A few fun ones:

I parked my Mondial 8 at the Berkely Heights train station, to pick up a friend. A few kids saw the car and started running twords it. They excitedly gushed over the car as my friend and I walked over to the car. One of them had noticed the speedo (metric only). They were dying to know how fast it could go since the speedo went up to 280. I didn't have the heart to tell them it was kilometers.

I was on line for gas at the Watchung circle. I was in one of my other cars. There was a Testarossa ahead of me. (I had just bought my Testarossa). I asked the guy at the station if he knew the driver. He said "the driver of that $400,000 car!"

Driving west on Rt 78 - at regular highway speed, a the passenger rolled down his window, leaned his head, then his body out the window to give me a big thumbs up and "YEAHHHHH". (I thought he was going to fall out he was so far out).
