Funniest/Stupidest comments you have received about your Ferrari

They would have been completely bewildered if they tried to figure out where the inside door handles are.

 

“Is that a Diablo?” was probably the dumbest question I had someone ask me about my 488. He proceeded to go on a drawn out rant about law enforcement for reasons I can’t explain. There are a lot of bars in that town but the gas is ethanol free.

 

....and they'd have been completely F$%^&d at the thing sticking out of the centre console !

 

+1 I will tell people exactly what they want to know about any car. Just last night I was getting some take out Chinese and 3 of the employees came out and asked questions (surprisingly, they were actually from China). MSRP? Year? Price now? Oil change and tire costs? How long have you had it? etc. I offered them to take pictures sitting in it but they were too shy.

I like to think that being nice to people asking things like that could motivate them to have some drive and goals - maybe one of those kids makes it and invites me to buy in the first round of A level funding.

 

My 360 manual is worth at best £60k so I tell them. You can buy plenty of relatively normal cars for that.
It's the running costs that make their eyes water.

 

"Is it real?"
"I'll bet it cost a million dollars!" '90 348
"You're a privileged @sshole!" ~ Random traffic shoutout..

But mostly very positive comments from respectful, Brand appreciative people. I've loved every minute of ownership...

 

I had a kid say “mum mum is that a ferrari? she said no darling its a Porsche”

 

Posted years ago, so it’s probably safe to repost now…

Pulled in to one of those ‘pay and display’ parking lots, and as I was walking back to the car with the ticket Mrs. Rosso was laughing. She told me a mom and her little son were walking past and the kid got really excited. “Mom!! Mom!! Look at that car!!”

Mom said “It’s very nice. And what kind of car is that, Sweetie?” The kid replied “I don’t know, but it’s REALLY COOL!!!”

 

Not specifically Ferrari related, but I overheard one of the secretaries at work remarking how her son is into F1 racing. Another asked “what’s that?” She answered, “you know, like Mario kart”

 

I was parked at the bank last week using the atm. Was walking back to the 458 and see a very flamboyant guy heading over. "is that your car??" My first thought was ech.. but then he knew the model, that it was an Italia that it was tri color livery etc. Super polite, asked to take a picture. I let him sit in it. He thanked me and I saw him walk away. Only then did I see he had left his car in the drive lane at McDonalds! I wondered what the honking was about

 

Bump.

I've loved this thread and I think it's been forgotten since it has been over a year since anyone posted.

Come on guys, there has got to be funniest/stupidest stories in the past year!

 

Getting gas…
I don’t know the pump number
Clerk looks outside and says,
Oh, is that your corvette?

Hung my head and walked away… sigh.

Funny ones, not worst…

1. Standing next to car at casino about to leave and waiting for my girlfriend— girlfriend walks out, coming to me… guy says, “holy F***, is THAT your girlfriend?!”

I said yes, laughing… and expecting a comment about the car to follow…. Instead, he reaches down and touches his ankle and says, “dude, you must be hung down to here!!”

2. Sitting at a stop light in Ferrari. Old guy in a Cadillac pulls up. He says, hey, I heard there’s a recall on those. I said, oh ya, for what? He says, when you put the passenger window down, hot chics fly in.

I was burbling through downtown Annapolis one Saturday afternoon and had to stop for pedestrian traffic...A family started crossing when the woman saw my black 308 GTBi and stopped dead in her tracks saying... "Children...THAT is a FERRARI. Keep your grades up and someday you might own one!"

 

Saw a neighbour of mine at the convenience store. Got to talking and I mentioned that I had a new puppy (Bernese Mountain Dog). I was driving the 458 Italia. She said, "a puppy and a Ferrari...that is the ultimate chick magnet". Told her the Ferrari only has two seats and the dog rides "shotgun", plus I don't date (I'm 65).

 

We have a 458 Spider and a Bernese also! Cutest puppies ever! Like little bear cubs.

 

When my wife still had her Lusso, at a stop light, had her window down as the weather was just a perfect balmy low 70s.
from a car next to her: "I don't know what I want more, you or your car".
According to my son who was with her, it came from rather an attractive young woman.....

 

Guy asked me at the gas station, “how much did it cost?”

I replied, “less than my last divorce!”

 

Wow, they were trying to give you a huge complement….nice.

 

I don’t think there is a better car that embodies the 90’s better than the Diablo. I thought they were gorgeous when new and think they’ve aged incredibly well! I’d love to own one some day.

The person who made that comment was one of the most daft people I’ve ever met. The car was just an excuse to talk. He mostly ranted about his hatred of the police, how he “gets away” with drinking and driving and trying to get me to shop at his music store. It’s one of the few conversations I’ve had while driving my Ferrari that I wish I had never occurred.

 

I just got the ‘Whatdya got in it’ comment from a guy in a mustang at the gas station— like the ones you get when you drive a 69 Camaro etc—- The way he said and phrased it sounded like I chose to drop whatever engine into it.

That's hysterical never ceases to amaze me what people say.

 

Proper response to that is "it's got 4:11 positrac outback, 750 double pumper with edlebrock intake, bored 30 over,11 to 1 compression, we are talkin' some muscle son and if you wanna run it you better make sure you have some woodscrews cause' I'm gonna blow your doors off.

 

Just had another lol— after doing a deal for a customer at my dealership, I was outside and he was there looking at my F8– of course I try to never tell any customer that it’s the finance guy’s car lol— but he and I got along well - both from New England etc and we were laughing and joking etc and then I finally told him it was mine… after some more bullshitting and showing him the car, he said, that’s like 200k right? I said, 4…. He said, “we’ll enjoy it, you f’ing idiot”- we laughed our ass off. I told him I’ve got both those comments before but never in one sentence and I loved it.
