Drove my first Ferrari!

You are lucky. Many of us drove our first Ferrari just before we bought it.

 

...and some of us just after.

 

Drove my first one about a week after I bought it.... the day it arrived on a truck.

 

Yep, exactly in my case

 

I corrupted a young British woman today that is visiting my daughter before they head off to college after they were girl Scout camp counselors together. Let her shoot handguns and AR-15 and drive the Ferrari--with me in passenger seat and daughter in back seat

 

Congrats! You'll never forget your first time behind the wheel. Consider yourself lucky.

Exactly, it was the same in my case.

 

glad another owner could make your day. that's what being true car guys is all about. i've already made several friend's days by letting them drive my car. So glad I could bring them a brief moment of happiness.

 

Congrats!!! I got to drive a 308GTB about two years or so before I got my own. I will never forget that experience.

I was driving bothe F430 Spider and the 16M on 7/29. The F430 impressed me and the 16M scares me. I know I was hooked once I drove the F car, I got my very first F car last Thursday

Cheers

 

Warning... first drives can be dangerous

I let a rabbid Jaguar owner drive my Ferrari home from the shop to pick it up after service

he sold his Jags asap and now drives Ferrari

 

+1

 

Trust me, you NEVER forget your first Ferrari drive.

 

I still smile every time I pass the bend where I took the wheel of my brother's 328....

No matter how many Ferrari's you drive, the memory of that first drive just keeps reminding you how special they are.

Onno

 

Truer words...


Mike, congratulations! Tell us more about it. How it felt, what you did, what kind of road, what you liked and didn't like, etc. Your first time should be a story more than four sentences!

 

That is wonderful!

Everytime I visit the City where I bought my Ferrari from, I point out to whoever is in the car with me the actual street where I bought my car and the street I test drove it down on.

I am VERY fortunate, I have the video somewhere my friend took of me first driving the Ferrari down that said street.

(But I also remember that day VERY VERY well, I have burnt it into my memory bank and know every single detail from that day I went to inspect/test drive the car. I also remember the day I picked the car up too. Great memories and I will never forget them.)

He came along as passenger and we were both very excited. I was 25 yrs old at the time and he was 22 yrs old.

 

Even more memorable of my first drive, was the drive home when i purchased my first Ferrari. That is something I still laugh and smile just thinking about.

 

Be careful..... I test drove a 360 and 2 days later it was in my garage!!!

 

I drove a 458 just 8 months after I got my licence as an 18th birthday present a few months back

 

Congrats!
I haven't driven a Ferrari yet. But I have rode in one.

I'm kind of intimidated of driving one to be honest with you. They're just perfect cars and I don't want my virgin experience of driving one properly to ruin it

 

Wonderful!

 

I was a Ferrari virgin when I picked up my 330 2+2; it certainly wasn't. Together, we made it home OK.
