Funniest/Stupidest comments you have received about your Ferrari

Steve, I received your PM. For the record, I live in Canada, not Europe.

 

I wasn't sure I'd offended you. the other guy, maybe...

back on topic.

My favorite gas station is out in the boonies, west of where I live. I get a LOT of very strange looks, and "Holy cow, (but not the word cow), that's a FERRARI." it's my favorite gas station because they sell higher octane ethanol free.

Nope, didn't offend me...no offense taken.

 

Was my response somehow unclear?
Wow. Note to self- shorter words, fewer sentences.

 

I had my 456M for 5.5 years. I put it in the driveway to detail it all the time. It was Rosso Corsa and tan Daytona, so not subtle at all. In all those years, maybe a half dozen people stopped to talk about it, which I enjoy. I've had the yellow/tan 360 home only since the day after Christmas. Already two people have stopped, and I get a LOT more looks when I'm driving it around. A new neighbor's son even ran over with his phone - he looks to be about nine - and took some photos. Freaked out at the engine compartment when I opened it up for him. This car is, for some reason, much more of a magnet for attention than the V12.

I imagine I'll have more to add to this thread in the coming months and years.

 

I had to have the 348 towed in because the clutch was a bit noisy (I bought it that way, it was day 1 of ownership). Easy fix, and even did the needed flywheel maintenance and triple seals. The next door neighbor was leaving for the lake, but a couple days later saw me out mowing... "Steve, was that....a FERRARI??" so I decided to mess with him a bit. "I'm not sure what you're talking about..."

He was so mad when he figured out I was just messing with him.

Agree, starting not to want to even visit this thread any more if this idiotic banter keeps up.

 

I agree. My go to answers are

How much did it cost? I ask if they mean new. If yes then I quote a new 360 price. They usually say no, what did you pay, I just say I bought it new and the conversation ends there.

Next time I want to try something like “8 grand from an estate sale.”

Want to trade? “Sure but you get the car payment” (none really), “and the maintenance bills” (I do it all myself and it’s been reasonable). It’s then that people withdraw the request. “No thanks”

What’s the MPG? “IDK, but I usually have a gasoline tanker truck following me just in case”

I’ve gotten this one : You don’t see that every day, I reply “I do”

In 1990 my father drove his ‘85 308 to visit me at college one weekend. He let me take some of my friends for rides and I had to refill the tank. So I’m getting gas in Salamanca, NY and this guy asks, “ Is that one of them new sleaths?” I said, “No, it’s a Ferrari.” He replied, “ Oh, I thought it was a sleath.” So I’m driving back towards school wondering what the heck a sleath is and my buddy just starts laughing because he figured out the guy thought it was a Dodge Stealth.

 

Twice I have been asked if my 360 Spider was a Mustang. ( It is dark blue and has a horse on the back ) Better question was when my boss asked "what kind of engine is that" and I replied "400 hp 3.6L or 219ci V8". He then asked if Chevrolet made the engine. He is a Corvette enthusiast.

 

Best I ever got: Other then the dead bug on the windshield that car is perfect.
Most aggressive I ever got: You got my woman, you got my car...what else have you stolen from me?
Cutest I ever got: Little 4 year old boy runs up to the car while I am filling up screaming "Mom...it's a Furry...it's a Furry...oh my gosh...it's a Furry.
Dumbest I ever got: I traded one of those in on my new F150.

 

Had a couple over to the house last week and the guy kept looking at the Car (it was covered) and he says, "dude you got a corvette? I thought you were into Ferrari's? " so I pulled up the cover a little . "Oh my gosh, yeah that's not a vette!"

 

I'm in my 360, in 2 lane traffic and the woman in the car next to me shouts, "Hey I bet I can drive that car better than you!"
True story...

 

That's a new one...and a good one at that.

 

My Mrs said that about my Aston Martin when we first went out, so I stopped, let her get in the passenger seat and pull away....... 200 yards later we were in a ditch (luckily, a shallow one, with no damage except to her credibility ). She’s never asked to drive my cars again........

She was only 18 at the time though...... now she drives most stuff pretty well, but she has a lead foot and a ferrari would get her in the fast lane to traffic court, and prison

 

Sid, that’s funny. My Mrs. doesn’t ask, has driven few. But I got her an E36 M3/4 stick new when we married. We lived in country, I had E39 M5. We’d hoon all the way up and down hill, drifting and filling mirrors. No ditches fortunately. Skills decent.
She has E90 M3 now, refuses to let go. I offered my M4 GTS. She rejected it. “I’m keeping my S65 motor.”
Gets more comment on it than any of the Fcars.
Be well.

 

Hehe, she’s definitely a keeper if she can drift a M3 that well, wish mine was so skilled. Costs me a fortune in rim repairs

It would be a wash between myself and my wife, both have rally experience (me-3 years Team FIAT 1979-1982 and 1987-1989 Subaru SVX private entry for her) and we both did Corso Avanzato at Mt Tremblant with similar lap times in a 430 Challenge.
I'm curious what kind of comments she will get when she starts to drive her new Lusso this Spring.

 

Awesome!!!!!! Makes me laugh when some of the guys I know say ladies can’t drive- ive met a number in my career that could blow the doors off me and a few others!!

Wish her the best in the Lusso, I’m loving that model more every time I see one, the ultimate daily Ferrari

Me: No
Girl: are you sure!?
Me: I’m sure.
