Funniest/Stupidest comments you have received about your Ferrari

Love your mpg quote !! I'm going to use that too as often asked ! 😁

 

Enjoy ! You will have many years of ( almost exclusively ) v positive reactions punctuated by the occasional pea-brained ****** !

 

Guy came by to pick up a motorcycle last weekend, looked around the garage at the various motos and cars, gestures to the (covered) Ferrari, "so what's under the cover?" Me: "That's an italian Camaro." Him (registering disappointment) "oh".

Some people just don't get a joke.

I was taking a young kid for a ride in my California T. He thinks it is pretty cool. He was waving at someone next to us. I asked who are you waving at? He responded, "I don't know, but they're taking our picture".

 

That's cool! I have not had any negative comments at all, just people loving on the car.

 

So many classic American muscle cars have been sent to Europe, that he may have thought it really was a Camaro coming back from Italy.

 

I was at a red light and a young couple stopped next to me. The guy asks, "What are you compensating for?". I said, "My thick, fat wallet." I then tilt my head to get a better look at the blonde and said, "You can do better." She laugh and asks if I'm single.

 

It's sad that in many cases F cars are viewed as some kind of exercise in ego, rather than what they really are - a celebration of automotive passion.

This is one aspect of F-car ownership I don't enjoy.

Hahaha, bet the numpty felt two inches tall, and the girl got a buzz out of putting him in his place. Why do people feel so threatened they have to be nasty all the time?

 

Your mistake is answering his question. You should have ignored him. On top of that you fed the Ferrari stereotype of arrogance with your response.

 

Well, he wasn't being arrogant to someone who was trying to be nice, at least.

 

Nah, it's more fun to wind the idiots up, give them what they want but make them look dumb..... works for me

 

*Very* nicely played!

 

No, his response to jealousy was perfect.

 

"No son, its not a real Ferrari, they are supposed to be red"

Clearly doesn't know that bare unpainted aluminium isn't a factory paint finish.

In fairness he was half right, there is very little original in the car, so it isn't real.

 

Driving my Mondial 3.2 Cabriolet with the top down, I get all kinds of looks from guys, but not so much from women. Some guy in a Jeep pulled up to me and took pictures with his iPhone.

I drive my 308 GTS QV to parties where it sits next to new MBZs that are actually much more expensive. But the kids all want to sit in the 308, and they love it when I take them for a drive and have them shift gears.

 

Awesome quick and witty response ! Look at it as banter from a stranger, and
respond with a better "banter", well played !

 

There's more to the story. Prior to the incident, he was tailgating me on the freeway for about 2 miles. Got off the same exit as I. He continue to tailgate me on a long stretch of the boulevard until he changed lane to be next to me on the next red light.

To her question about whether I'm single or not, I started to say "No, but you've made my day by asking...", but the lights turned green and he peeled off and blew a yellow at the next light. They were in a Charger SRT and I didn't realize that it's a new car until I saw the rear paper plate.

This left me wondering what trigger this guy? Maybe he bought a new car and his girlfriend was drooling over my Ferrari on the freeway, and he got jealous perhaps?

 

I'm guessing that's it...... butt hurt over his new car being overshadowed by a ferrari. I'm guessing he thought he'd have a few days of being the dogs bollocks in his new SRT, and you ruined that for him! Hehehe, he should've been more classy about it

 

Single or not?
"We can arrange that"

 

I have been doing a lot of remodeling work at my home and a few of the workmen have asked "What is under the red car covers?"

Now, you have to picture my garage: Large Ferrari banners, signs, clocks, and historical photos all over the walls and they cannot guess what is under the cover.

Corvette? No. Camaro? No. It goes on............

I say "Just look around the walls and guess again."

It must be a Mustang? Yes, I tell them, just to stop the foolishness.

The other car is a Jag, but we never get that far.

Lol!

"My thick, fat wallet" doesn't come across as being arrogant?

 

He only recently completed the paperwork on his very own second tier compensation-mobile and yet he had the nerve to chase down a total stranger to ask what *he* was compensating for. Something tells me that classy is not a common operating mode for that particular Dodge driver.

 

The psychological term is "projection"!! lol

 

LOL! How 'bout this one: "No, but I don't mind a mistress or two."
Now, that's arrogant!
