Ferrari engines good for only 12,000 miles.

You better send me EngineFixer's address too then

 

OMG... I'm creeping up on 70 THOUSAND MILES on my 328... does that mean my car has
actually died like 5 TIMES, and I was just too dumb to know it?????

Looks like I'm going to have to hire some more help once this thread gets out!

 

Owning a fake Ferrari is like sticking a sock down your pants.

From a distance, they look pretty good. But when it comes time to deliver, both will greatly disappoint.

 

No bigger a lie than many a Ferrari salesman have told.


Caveat emptor.

 

Now that is funny!!!!!!!LOL

 

Too funny !

 

Only if you put the sock in the front.

 

so your saying a sock in my pants is a bad idea? Damn, how about a low cut thin sock?
I thought it was working for me...no? Next you'll be bad mouthing my fanny pack and headband I wear when I work out.

 

Oh yeah, about the car...those things were built on a Pontiac Fiero. Now THAT was a nice running car.(insert mental picture of me rolling on the floor laughing) He came up with the 120,000 mile number because they have never had a Fiero go that far. Not only did they quit making the Fiero they quit making Pontiacs. Not really a good selling point.
Just so I understand.....no sock in the pants? Really? Really? But it gets all the girls attention. I can't count the times girls were all pointing at me and start whispering to each other. They all want me, well , they want to see me in December or January, cuz when I ask them out they all say something about "cold day", so I figure their just busy working in the summer.

 

The Fiero.....my dad owned a GM dealership when they were first coming out. They had me really excited when they were on the drawing board, they called it a mid engined 2 seat sports car.
Then when we finally had one delivered and saw it was just a front wheel drive car with the body on backwards it was a big let down. Well.....not really THAT big, I figured GM would come up with a good idea and make it a cheap P.O.S., just like they did.

 

I think they meant the Fiero-Ferrari Kit is the one that only gets 12,000 miles

 

When the front suspension is sourced from that performance icon, the Chevrolet Chevette, you know it's going to be a great sports car. Certainly don't forget the oil leaks and fires too.

 

CRETINS..........

 

Straighten your Bowtie and get back to work!!!!

 

When I win the Lottery, I'm going to buy a replica 355 like that one and take it to all the Ferrari meets.

 

I looked at the ad and I threw up in my mouth a little...omfg.

I saw a Toyota MR2 on the freeway last week with plates that read "ECON 348". I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

 

As long as you keep it under 12,000 miles so it lasts

 

Does that mean the car steers with its rear wheels?

Someone in the US who used to work for my dad had a car that steered with the rear wheels, but I can't remember what it was... the only thing I do recall was that he crashed it, bought another one, crashed that too, bought a third one, crashed it and finally got wise enough not to buy a fourth. I wish I could remember what sort of car that was. Anyone have any ideas?

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Misinformation on eBay... I just don't know what to say. I guess there's a first for everything.

 

Its all propaganda I tell you!!

 

Steers with only the rear wheels or with all four? There have been a couple recently that had four wheel steering. Some Honda Preludes had it I believe and then some Chevrolet Suburbans and Silverados I think come to mind.

 

It steered with only the rear wheels and it was a sports car. I just can't remember what the heck it was. I'll ask my dad next time I talk to him and see if he can remember... hopefully the chosen car is pretty memorable when your friend totals 3 of them.

I did see his third one, but I was only about 7 or 8 years old at the time and wasn't really a petrolhead at that point.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

The RX7 GLS had 4 wheel steering too....I was shocked how weird it felt when I first drove one. Kind of a neat car when they were new. My sister had one, it was sort of a limited edition as I recall.
