Annoying comments made about you f-car....

Talking to friend outside his house one day,a passer by asked "Is that a Lotus" while pointing at the 308.

That's exactly why he doesn't have one!

While filling up the gas tank at Shell, a tree trinner stuck his head thru the pump island and asked whether my 360 was one of "those new Mustangs"? I replied nicely that it was a Ferrari. He thought the prancing horse was the Mustang pony.

 

Almost always I get, "What is it?"

Seldom do people on the street know what a '76 GT4 is even though my license plate reads: 76 GT4

 

An older couple was talking about my car not knowing I was the owner and I heard the woman say, "Why does anybody NEED a car like that?". I felt like telling her, "need has nothing to do with it lady".

 

I have a friend that got a limited production VERY red Firebird convertable...in fact it had to be taken to the strip and measured for AQMD specs or somesuch. Regardless it was wild looking...trust me.

He was going to the gym, and a good looking girl was walking out as he got out of the car. She smiled, looked him and the car over, and said "Sorry about your penis".

Good one.

 

my mom had a similiar comment regarding women's breast
"Anything more than a handful is a waste"

Ummmm, mom? I don't think you get it.

Those views expressed by my mom are solely those of my mom and do not represent the views of this poster. lol

 

HA!

 

"Bet that thing can't even burn rubber."

Smile at the redneck, shake head, get in and drive away......

 

I would have told her, " Sorry about your personality." Sheesh

 

"That rear wing is f_&*Sing ridiculous." one guy said to another while contemplating my car while I was standing right next to it.

They might be right (not in my opinion), but it still isn't very nice to just say so. Oh well.

 

A 60 year old man from Arkansas. "I bet a Chevy V-8 would tear that thing
up."

 

So, Doug, how much did you pay for yours...?

 

"Tell me, how much does one of these cost?" My own father asked me this yesterday after seeing my Maranello for the first time!

 

I've only had my new (to me) 1985 308 QV about two weeks.. I drove it to work a week ago... several people came up to me later in the week.

"Hey Scott I saw your Pantera out there a few days ago..."

"Um.. no you didn't"

I am now up to 6 people who have thought it was my Pantera. It must be the color.

From a Ferrari dealer on 4-10-04. After telling him I bought a 2000' maranello in 2003' with 9000 mi. "you bought a high milage car!" He then said it's now worth $115,000. with 11,000 mi.

 

Yes thats a good one, I am one my self that asks. Good reason too around here there are replicas and some of them are pretty close to the real thing.
This question may get long to owners but pls understand theres lots of wannabes and the "real deal " is so much better. And its a real treat to see a real one especially around here.
Example lst summer at local car show thre was a F40 looked good (wasnt real)

Chris.

 

I was asked if my 308 was the new Mustang and I replied, "No it's a Ferrari and they had the little horsey first"

I was asked, 'How can you afford that' and I answered, "Priorities"

I'm still waiting for the opportunity to answer the question, 'Is that a kit car' with "Yes, (while opening the rear hatch) But I put a Ferrari engine in it to make it more realistic."

 

OH yeah! I'm going to hang on to that one!

Another question, What DO I do about a small penis?

 

good one ricardo. I guess the most annoying is, "Nice Lamborghini". I get that one more than anything else. You really don't know cars if you think a 355 spyder is a lambo.

 

I hate getting asked:
1. How much does it cost?
2. What do you do for a living? (My neighbor even ask me that. I don't mine as long as it is not the first or second thing out of your mouth)
3. Is it real?
4. Life must be great? (I say yes it is! - Well what else can you stay?)
5. Is that your car?
6. Driving down the street kids yell out "do a doughnut"
7. How fast does it go? Well this one does bother me.
8. I wouldn't want a car like that, you can't park it anywhere.
9. I bet your insurance is high.
10. I bet it drinks a lot of gas.
11. Is that a FERRARI?
I told someone it was a Testarossa and they said, Oh, I thought it was a Ferrari.

 

LOL...! Some people just aren't into cars... Hard to believe, but then again, some of us aren't into a lot of things other people are... To each her/his own, i guess...

 

Are you married?
Happily?

 

From a guy driving a Hybrid honda. "what kinda gas milage do you get" I dont care when it is at 1/4 I fill it with super.
