Got a similar comment..........."can't you afford a car with real windows?".......in regards to the F40 side windows.
I recently acquired my first Ferrari - a 1988 328 GTS, red/tan. Wife fully supported the acquisition and is rapidly learning how to do "Ferrari Babe." Although she rides in it frequently, she refers to it as "The stupid little red car." JAF
Wife's friend: Why does your husband need more than one Ferrari? Wife: Why do you need 30 pairs of shoes?
She said: "I hope you DIE in this car!" in front of the kids!! I traded her in..........and got a different one. Image Unavailable, Please Login
"Well at least on days you drive it [referring my 360, which has Tubi exhaust], your dinner is always warm and ready when you get home, because I can hear you leave from work 10 miles away when you come home."
We got home here in Alaska on 15 June. We went on a two week trip in the 365GT4, and when I say we I mean myself, wife, 2kids, that covered 3400 miles. We went from Iowa thru South Dakota, Red Lodge MT, beartooth highway (10940' mountain pass) to Yellowstone, Idaho, Washington to Bellingham to the Alaska Ferry terminal, up to Juneau and Haines Alaska, thru the Yukon, back into Alaska and home to North Pole. After a couple of days at home we went out to dinner in the CTS-V. I asked the wife "how would the trip have been if we had taken the Caddy". Her response- It wounldn't have been as much fun!
My wife pulls this one from MY playbook. She calls me from her cell at a ranch looking at a pricey horse she wants to buy. I do NOT understand why this horse is soooo expensive. Are not all horses the same? She goes on to explain all the wonderful things this horse has done, yada yada, then says......."this horse performs like your Ferrari." SOLD! Now I completely understand why she bought the horse! Another time at a Ferrari Club event. At a stop sign heading into the twisties but making a left turn following 2 friends taking a "shortcut" while the rest of the club turns right. Our two friends in a Stradale and Murci take off while I get stuck waiting on the left turn. I ask my wife...."do we drive like crazy to catch them, or just turn right and follow the pack as I am not familiar with these roads." She looks at me and says "turn left, let's catch em!" I have the most awesome wife!
When we first got the CTS-V, my mom was like, "well, it's alright. But, I don't like black cars. Or Cadillac's. Or manual transmissions. Or fast cars", needless to say after the drive, she loved it!
A few months ago I was able to buy from another fchatter a five piece set of Schedoni Ferrari 550 Barchetta luggage to use when we take road trips in our 550. When the shipment arrived at our home containing the set of matching luggage, my wife opened up the box and said "this little one will make a great little backpack for me!". I have to admit, it is highly functional but I'm thinking maybe she likes the luggage more than my car! . Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
WOW. that ones definitely a keeper I've often fantasized about a little cough cough "feet to shoulder" while driving but my wife has been unresponsive to my thoroughly debauched idea
After a year of looking and trying to find a car she said "Will you just buy one already" Recently after owning one for the past year - "When are you taking me out for a ride?" She loves the car almost as much as I do - for different reasons. And she doesn't give me a hard time when the bills come in for a full major service followed by a minor repair, followed by new tires, followed by . . . She is great!
A few months after I bought my 360, my girlfriend and I went out to dinner. We parked next to a Mustang GT500. She said 'look'!!!!! That car has a horse on it as well. She looks at the Mustang and my 360, back and forth. Then she said, "But they're not the same, that car had a galloping horse and you have a prancing horse!"
