    Yes they do notice. No, they're not going to suddenly come up to you and start having sex with you on the hood. In contrast to the video I have had women start talking to me in the gas station. He's a dork if he can't make that work.

    I've found you can talk to any dude you want. I'm sure all of them would be happy to jump in for a ride.

    Top Gear did that stunt a few years back with a DB9 Volante, no one really cared, then they
    pulled out a golden lab puppy.

    They used to, but now you need a 430 or better to attract women. But if you're an "alternative-life-styler" like the dork in the video, your 360 can get you all the boys you want.

    An attractive young woman driving a Mustang GT pulled up next to me on a stoplight today.

    her: What kind of car is that?
    me: It's a Ferrari.
    her: A Ferrari. Who makes it?
    me: Ferrari.
    her: I like it. I'll remember that.

    When I first bought mine, I had to answer a woman, "the bonnet, are you serious?"

    OK, it was my wife, but that's not the point. It still attracted her.

    People today are completely clueless. I don't find anyone noticing my F-cars whatsoever. Pulling into a gas station, I might as well be driving a Focus. How do you not notice a Corsa Red 458...hell, the thing looks like a spaceship! They wont even look at it...the amount of jealousy and class envy in today's society is stunning...
    The only ones that know what kind of car it is are 10 year old boys. Even their dads are clueless, or pretend to be.

    Haha Graham, I had the same thing. She was quite disappointed when I said no chance. Shame though, good idea except for the repair bills!
    Yep 10 year old boys come running. Just like I used to.
    I have had a few nice comments from women though.

    OTOH, I took the Diablo roadster for gas for the first time last weekend, and the whole place came to a screechng halt as everyone just had to leave their cars and come over for a look and pictures.....pretty un-nerving.

    But the only decent looking chick pretended not to notice.

    Probably because of the neighborhood (middle class).

    I spend a lot of time with the Lambo crowd. Every time we get together we spend 15 percent of the time driving, 75 percent of the time parked with the doors up, and 10 percent of are time comparing sunglasses... On a side note the VT Roadster gets more attention than pretty much any other exotic, I have seen people walk by Aventadors and F40's to get a look at a Diablo Roadster. However, Ferraris still turn alot of heads, especially when they are at redline.

    Love this guy! Very entertaining videos.

    I mostly get young kids that are super into exotic cars and car nut guys approaching me and ask a bunch of questions which I love. As far as girls swarming all over the car....the video is pretty spot on. My wife will be happy to know this as well. :)

    The car alone won't get you chicks... You have to have some game and style ... If not just enjoy the car by yourself!

    I think it's that most women are so buried in their iPhones that they seldom look up and notice what's around.

    +1 on the iPhone. Many women are so into themselves that they won't notice anything unless it hits them in the head. Of course they complain about "not being able to find a guy". Or when they do, he's a looser.

    You go to a dog park and you have a Lab, if you're a dork.. nobody is going to talk to you. Even when your dog is humping the cuties' sheltie.

    You go to a bar and wear an italian suit.. nobody is going to talk to you if you just sit there all by yourself and play with your phone.

    I can't think of a circumstance where a woman is going to come over to you and just start hitting on you if you're a dork no matter what you "have". "You're twenty pounds overweight, smell like cheeto's and can't make conversation.. I love your iPhone wanna make out?"

    No matter what you do, it's all about you... the "things", including dogs arent even going to get you conversation if you're a dork.

    This line of thinking drives me up a wall. If a BMW, $300 sunglasses and designer clothes didn't get the UCSB shooter "females" to throw themselves at him wanting sex.. what's a Ferrari going to do?

    You are right things alone won't get you females... You have to have some game. What I don't understand is why some people refuse to improve on themselves. If your wardrobe is stuck in the 90's your hair a mess pasty white no swagger and lacking confidence your not going to get girls. And those stupid excuses people tell themselves I just want someone to want me for who I am is just an excuse for people who don't want to improve on themselves. There is a lesson to be learned from My Big Fat Greek Weeding. Once that girl improved herself she attracted the guy she wanted.

    I don't think most people are into cars. They think of it as an appliance. No more no less.
    I don't interpret their lack of interest in a Ferrari as "jealousy and class envy".

    I don't know -- When I first got my 360 spider I was taking it to the dealer for a full day detail. I was on the tollway doing about 80. My wife was following me in the Jeep and she said that there was this gril in a SUV cutting her off and hanging out the side window trying to get a picture of me - oh I mean the Ferrari!

    Having owned the 360 for almost a year, I can attest that the only group of people who it consistently wows and makes salivate at the mouth are pre-teen boys. Now I feel dirty.

    The first time I filled up my spider the gal working way over inside the food mart came on the pump intercom to say she loved my car...guess a few still notice.

    I would not say I have game, but If I go a day driving my Grigio Titano 360 Spider and random woman does not give the car a look, take a pic or say something, I'd think the world has ended.

    Today is was a milf in a big SUV rolling down the window and saying "great car".

    No kidding. Forty five years ago I had been dating my current wife for a couple of months and we had taken many rides in my shiny new 911. Eventually her friend whispered to her, "Wow, he drives a Porsche". This was news to my (then) girlfriend.

    Over time I turned her into a real car gal, including winning an SCCA regional autocross championship. But when we were dating, the Porsche might have well been a Beetle.
