    LOL...Eric, this is too funny.

    I've heard "Is it real?" a few times. Also, a woman asked me if the doors go up, and I explained to her that Lambo doors are the ones that go up.

    A guy pulled up next to me at a gas station ventured the unsolicited opinion that I had paid $200K for my 330 2+2... he was surprised when I told him that it cost about half of what he paid for his big new SUV.

    A repost from a similar thread:

    While at the MB dealership looking at an E63, a salesman shouts comes into the showroom and shouts,"Who's Acura is that in the parking lot?" The 3 customers in the showroom including me ignore him because none of us own an Acura outside. He then comes straight up to me and says, "Isn't that your red Acura outside in the parking lot?" It takes me a second to figure out that he must be talking about my car. I parked a Rosso Corsa F355 Berlinetta in the lot. The other salesman in the dealership bust the nitwits chops by saying,
    "That's a Ferrari you idiot!" He then tries to recover by saying to me, " "Oh yeah, that's a beautiful Magnum PI ferrari." I lost a lot of respect for that guy. First of all, he must have seen me get out of my car in the first place, but he tried to play off some small talk to break the ice (so used car salesman). Secondly, I have nothing against Acuras, but a salesman should know his cars, especially if he is trying to suck up to me and sell me one.

    No Ferrari here, but when wearing my prancing horse hat, somebody asked if I liked FCars. I told them no, but I'm really into horses!

    I gave a guya lift to his wedding recently from a beautiful hotel in Bath, and while I was outside waiting with the 612, a group of almost a dozen ladies on a spa weekend/hen weekend/girls on tour jobby (aged 25-40 I would guess) walked past, and one of em said to me quite loudly - 'sexy car, I would have sex on that bonnet' (hood in the US), quick as a flash I grabbed the lapels of my jacket and feigned taking it off, saying, 'lets go!!!' Cue loads of giggling and red faces for the ladies!!

    Awesome effect our cars have (the girl did give me her number, but I have a strict under-25 rule these days, and I would guess she was closer to 40, although good for her age!)

    A while ago I was filling up at the pump and a guy pulled up in his red 308. I asked him, "Does Higgin's know you have the car." He got a good laugh at it.

    Salesmen: "Hey, thats..thats a Turbo right?"

    Dad: "really? Are you seriously asking US that?"

    Salesmen: "Well, yeah. Is the engine in the front or the rear?"

    Me: "Dude, come on. Next thing you know, were going to be sell him the car. Let's go."

    Recently my wife was driving her 400i Cabriolet on a sunny day and we had stopped for lunch. While eating our lunch a young guy was drving back and forth behind her 400i. When we finsihed lunch and got into her car, the young man yells out, "Thats the coolest Camero I've ever seen". I smiled and thanked him for the compliment.......................

    That is true.

    Not that it's a waste of money, but, there are NO good roads in FL.

    That has to be a fake, Ferrari never built a car with a back seat.

    while filling up our 365gt 2 + 2 at a local station, a mid - 30's guy at the next pump says " I didn't know that the 240z came with a back seat". My reply was that it was a rare option.

    I had a catastrophic brain fart at the local cars and coffee where I pronounced a 512bb to be a modded 308. Yes I did slap myself for my retarded comment.

    I've never had a vanity license plate on any of my Ferraris, but my fair-weather daily driver, a red Miata, bears "ENZO4RE", and the tag elicits a lot of comments. One guy in my parking garage at the office pondered the tag briefly, decided it was very clever, and then told me that he really liked my Ferrari (the Miata) and hoped to get one some day after he sold his current "sports car"- a Chevrolet Monte Carlo. I guess if Ferraris become as common (and affordable- talk about deflation!) as the Miata he mistook for one, his dream isn't too unrealistic.

    I've been asked if my 308:

    ... is a Mustang;

    ... is a Karmann-Ghia; (this by a Ford salesman!)

    . . . is a DeLorean (on at least 3 occassions!);

    . . . is a Lamborghini;

    . . . is "the Dino or the Boxer?"

    But the funniest might have been the hip-hop speaker who told me very loudly at a gas station:

    "Maaaaan, yore caaaaaaaaar is... a . . . ******* WAGON!"

    I said, "I beg your pardon?"

    "Yaaaay, bay...bee... you get aaaaawwwwl the ******* drivin' taaat!"




    So, uh. . . I guess "*******" refers to what I get, and not to what I am.
