    I've noticed that I get the kit car question much more often at car shows where I'm the only exotic. Guess people haven't seen enough Ferraris to know when they're seeing a real one.

    First time I saw a countache I thought it was a fake. The build quality and design is so poor on those things.

    It's funny you say that, when I bought my 360, I almost got a custom plate that read "ITSAKIT"
    It was available, and I thought it would be fun, LOL

    That would have drawn more questions like "is it really a kit??" Lol

    One time at a supermarket parking lot a man ask me if my 360 Spider is a Ferrari body kit. I said, "yes. It's laid on top of a 1998 Toyota Celica Convertible". He response was, "That's the most accurate kit I've ever seen!" (LOL! as if he'd seen a lot of them to know the difference)

    I agree, and I wouldn't even use the word "ignorant". They are just not car people, and thank goodness they're not, it keeps prices down! :D

    The plate on my 360 is M700DNA. If you squint and use a bit of imagination it suggests Modena (yes, it was not expensive). What I was not aware if is a company called DNA that produces replica kit cars and mainly exotica. A friend at a car meet saw my car and did think the perhaps it was a well made kit because to him the DNA was most obvious.

    Probably already been said. "Is that an MR2 Toyota." When seeing my 430 across the street. He was a hotrod car guy too.

    My wife and I are driving in the mountains of NW Arkansas for a long weekend. Stoped for gas in a one corner town. was talking with two guys doing a motorcycle tour. One of the “locals” interrupts to tell me “I see you bought Ferrari’s version of the corvette. We just ignored him. He didn’t seem pleased to not get a reaction.

    That's the best course of action dealing with idiots, simply ignore them.

    After having Ferraris for 30+ years. I've heard all the remarks. Both inquisitive and blindly stupid. I've had my share of thumbs up as well as middle fingers. I recently got a McLaren and I have been amazed at the difference. EVERYONE (men, women, young old) smiles, loves the car, wants to talk to you and they know the brand.

    At physical therapy l was asked: when are you going to let us drive your Ferrari?

    I gave my usual response: letting someone drive your Ferrari is like letting someone sleep with your wife and hope nothing happens.

    A gal said: l could sleep with your wife and nothing would happen. I am not gay. So can l drive your Ferrari.

    My response: yeah. That’s what they all say.

    If she’d said that to me she’d have been bundled halfway into the drivers seat already!

    Yes but that’s a dud experience. She’s not going to sleep with you. She’s not going to play with the wife as she’s not gay. So... Hmmm. Heck there’s not too many options.

    I’d just ask her if she had a (younger) sister. Who would play. Then go pick her up in the Fez

    Not stupid at all, nor particularly funny, but gratifying. 2 separate thumbs up given by passengers in other vehicles as I drove my 456M home from MA today.

    I'm going to raise you by saying that I got two middle fingers by kids driving a Mustang GT. But then Karma kicks in and the driver got stopped by a CHP a few miles down the freeway.

    Still a single digit, but I think I prefer a thumb.

    I had a friendly exchange with a guy about my Ferrari when he said the usual, “Looks like you are overcompensating for a tiny dick.” Says he with a smirking wink.
    I said, “Guys who claim to have a big dick are overcompensating for a tiny bank account.”
    We all had a good laugh.

    Filling up at my favorite sunoco (90 octane ethanol free). I have a 348.

    Some lady in an Atlanta Braves jersey, getting out of a white GMC full size utility van:

    "What the hell kinda car is THAT!"

    me (trying not to laugh, because that came out of nowhere): It's a Ferrari!

    her (somehow not expecting this answer, and quite possibly not knowing what a Ferrari is) : "Well....*pause*... it looks fast!"

    me: It has its moments.

    her: "Okay, you be safe"

    me: Thank you!
