Funniest/Stupidest comments you have received about your Ferrari

Cool

+1, congrats on such an acquisition at the very young and ripe age of 23

 

LOL!!

 

since the days when the Fiat 124 spyders were roaming the streets

"is that the new 124 spyder"... and variations

re: yellow 330 GTS

 

I took the 360 to the nearby Starbucks for a coffee this weekend. There was an open parking spot right in front. As I was going into the place, a woman pulls into the spot right beside mine and I stop and watch her open the door. She noticed me watching her get out of her car so she must have figured out the Ferrari was mine. While in line at the counter, she says to me.."I wouldn't have hit your car"... Of course I thanked her and we had some additional small talk. Then she tells me ..."Ferraris don't do it for me, but I really have a thing for a nice Sebring convertible"...

Later while sitting outside enjoying the coffee and conversation with my GF, another lady pulls in driving a red golf cart. She parks up front and come up to me and starts a conversation about my 'Mustang', and how she's always wanted one. I didn't correct her and just let her go on.

 

A Mustang full of teenage girls pulled up next to me at a gas station. "Is that the new Mustang? It's really nice." Me, "Thank you. No, it's a Ferrari." After a pause, one of the other girls asked: "You're not one of those timeshare salesmen, are you?"

 

If you met Luke, than you met me...

I'm Luke.

 

A kid asked if my mustang was a ferrari, because the horse.... (that was great for me)

A young lady asked me what about the snake in my shelby.... I told her that the snake ate the horse because is more powerful....

and at the gas station a guy asked (looking at the engine window on my 360)...If the motor is in the front, This should be a huge turbo Right????

another day a kid ask me if he will have to work all his life to afford one.....(F360)

And my two little neighbor girls (at the firs time they came to my garage) the said that they wont wash his hand because they touched a ferrari

 

He wins.

Stupidest comment about a Ferrari ever.

 

When i was heading to Dallas one young man approached me and said " 2years before i had a Ferrari and i sold it... may i know its a Petrol version or Diesel Version" I laughed and said it runs on both.

 

The only comment that I can think of in regards to my Ferrari (im sure there are many more but this one has stuck with me) was actually from a good friend of mine.

We were talking one day when a few customers walked into his photo shop to browse around. My friend sees the customers, then raises his voice and asks "Pap, didn't your Ferrari cost like a millions dollars when it was new???"

I sat there in silence as I didn't know if he was serious or not.

A few seconds later the customers walk back out and he is still looking at me waiting for my reply.

I told him the truth and he shrugged his shoulders and said, "oh, ok".

Funny or stupid, I don't know.

 

Love this thread. Just goes to show, there are lovers, and haters of all brands of sports cars.

 

+1.

But this one gets honourable mention for being "cool"

 

I don't own one and it was an Aston, but today I saw a guy driving one next to me. A beautiful DBS. I asked how it was and he said "It's great. I suggest you get one!"

I got a pretty good laugh out of it.

 

"It's so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up."

 

This was half and half. Had a guy next to me at a light say " Nice car! What does it cost $100k?"

I said yup, and drove off.

 

I was getting out of the F40 and this big guy was standing, staring and almost blocking my exit. I managed to open the door, and said hi. He then responds that he, "Used to make these"!

I asked him if he worked for Ferrari. He said no. He then asked, "Is this thing real"? I pointed him to the engine bay. He kind of chuckled.

He then asked how much it cost. When I told him, he exclaimed that I got robbed and should have bought one from him.

I locked the car and headed into the restaurant.

 

..there may be hate and envy from the Sooners, I don't think Longhorns care much about you guys

 

Amazing.

Was at a local car show with the 308 and a muscle car comes up to me and tells me his friend has "one of those". He told it was the newer 6 cylinder model- the 1988. After looking under the bonnet, he says he sees mine is the four cylinder and asks what year it is. I told him it was a 1977. He said that he didn't think they were made that long ago. I assured him it was a '77. After telling me I was wrong, he walked away in a huff. Oh, well.

 

Bit of both I think!

 

When I owned my Dino, I got, "It's replica, right?" pretty regularly. Also got, "Nice Corvette" a few times and, "Wow, is that a mustang?" more than once.

Had a woman yell, "Go Magnum!" when I was in the Dino, like it looks like a 308?

The 360 less so, but recently in the Appleby's parking lot, with our own JoeZaff as a witness, a girl asked, "IS that the NEW mustang?" I said, "Nope, it's a Ferrari." She prelied, "Geez, I wasn't even close, was I."

D

 

It's getting sad, around here.

At the market, a woman comments, "It's beautiful. What is it? A Jaguar?".


Then, as I'm leaving a gas station (three identical islands), an SUV that was blocking the entrance pulls over, and I point to the empty island of pumps I just left.

"I'm just letting you out"
"More pumps just in front of you"
"I wanted gas"
(aside) "What do you think I just filled up with? Spaghetti sauce?"

 

Back in the 90s I was doing the cloverleaf at the local highway exit to test my alignment, steering setup in my '82 308 when I looked in the rearview and saw that I was being paced by a local trooper. I did the cloverleaf about two and a half times when the lights came on and I got pulled over. Mind you I never exceeded the limit the whole time. So the trooper says to me "were you trying to elude me, you know that is a serious charge?" My response, "with all due respect officer, if I were doing that we wouldn't be having this conversation right now". With that he kinda studdered something unintelligable and turned and walked away, slammed his door to the cruiser and sped off.

 

Hahaha! I love it!

 

I was at Verizon to get a new phone, and the sales guy says, "Did you hear about our new keys for phone promotion?" I responded confusedly. He said, "Yeah, you let me have the keys to your car out there, and you get a free phone!" It was quite funny.
