Funniest/Stupidest comments you have received about your Ferrari

Lol! Thanks for your comment, and you sound like someone who just wants to start sh*t. There’s always some typical “*****” that has to comment like that on people’s on topic posts.

Did you ask if her name was Sabine or Danica?

 

I apologize.
I thought someone asked you if it was a Ferrari, and you denied it, just to be a smart-ass.
I misread your post. Sorry.

 

“Is it turbo?”
Random guy.

I think this is still my favorite thread on FChat

 

I was looking for some car care products at an auto parts store the other day and the guy asks, "what are you working on?" I said an older Ferrari. He says, "oh my gosh, well why don't you bring it down and we can see which product works the best?" And I replied, because it's February and there's salt all over the roads. (I live in NY) "oh yeah, you probably don't want to drive that when it's snowing....."

"How is it on gas?"

 

So today I was waiting at a light to turn left in my 360, and a couple of homeless guys, one pushing a shopping cart full of junk, go across the crosswalk. Well, the guy pushing the cart - thirty-ish I think - sees my car and starts yelling at me. I have no idea what he said, because the valve in my CS exhaust is stuck open, but I got the idea that I'm the cause of all of his - and the world's - problems because I drive a Ferrari.

So nice that in Texas you don't even need a CCP to be armed while driving.

 

One of those "must be nice...." people. . Whenever I hear that from someone I always say, "yes it is nice to enjoy a small reward for taking risks, working my ass off and having a great wife who enjoys this with me." Gotta love the sound when the valve is open too!

Today in Hilton Head, SC: “may I ask, who does this car belong to?”

I used to take my wife shopping. I hate shopping. So i'd get out, open the hood, and stand there until she comes back.
Got lots of funny comments.

 

I was driving my 360 Spider along moderate traffic and notice a cyclist on my rear right checking out the engine. After about 4 blocks I stop at a red light, but he continues on, not realizing that he went through a red light. A police cruiser nearly hit him and he swerved the last second to avoid a collision. He took a spill and rolled a few times on the asphalt. I'm sure he'll get cited, but a very lucky man indeed.

 

Even just 125 coats would be good.

 

Or this gem.....
Them: "What year is it?"
Me: "2002"
Them: "No way. There's no way it's that old, it still looks new. How can such an old car look so new?"
Me: "I have it completely rebuilt every few years"
Them: "Oh, now it makes sense."

 

“Fine. It loves it actually!”

Such a politely worded but stupid and invasive question.

 

The fellow checking cars into a major regional car show yesterday mistook my car for a Lotus.

 

oh dear....i could open a own thread over comments i received from men......and guys....i really hope for some of you that your Mrs doesnt read this #sleepingonthecouch

 

Come on, don't be shy. Do spill the beans

 

Why are people such haters? Im a younger guy,32, and I've probably been asked/told mine is a rental car 6-7x in the few months I've owned her. I usually reply with something to be ****** like "I didn't know there was a high demand to rent 16 year old cars". I mean for goodness sake I drive a 575, hell most people dont even know what is is. Even when they were new, I dont remember exotic car businesses renting them out, it was always 360 coupes and spiders.

 

Could also be a regional thing maybe? I’m 29 but could pass for 18 and I always expected someone to make a daddy’s car comment but nobody ever did to my surprise.

I had a few people ask me if my 355 is new so that goes to show how much the general public knows about cars.

 

Some people have asked if my 87 Testarossa is the... New Lamborghini...

Went to our local high end market to get some food with the wife. I was working on a car all day so covered in dirt, hair all over the place looking like a biker meets homeless guy.
Anyway sitting out front napping while wife goes in for food. Some nice lady asks me if I was hungry I say yes I am starving did not eat all day. I dont have enough energy to get up.
Nice lady offers to buy me a meal I said thanks but I'm going to take my ferrari and go get something, at this point she thinks I'm delusional and backs up a little. She takes another step back when I pull something out of my pocket. I click my alarm button the car starts beeping. She turns red as can be embarrassed, apologizes over and over.
Was fun leading her on and told her she was a very nice lady

Not a Ferrari but mistaken for one. 85-86ish I was sitting at a red light in a black RX-7 and a guy walking down the the street yelled out to me, "that's the same car they use in that show right?" I told him close enough but a different color. He probably still talks about seeing Magnums car.
Side note, within a 50 mile radius there is one 355 that's the only Ferrari ever in my area.

 

well i am still not sure if the usual.."oh your husband lets you drive his car?" or my Mum`s "is that really necessary?" is the stupidest...but the nicest was definately the day when i collected the Speciale and went from Maranello to our house in Tuscany...was driving through Montevarchi and the cops stopped next to me, rolled their window down and encouraged me to go full chat..and i dont speak much italian so i tried to explain that its quite new and has only 150 km on the clock...well they got out of the car and had a look and we tried to talk a little and while we did that a bunch of 6-7 teenage boys on their scooters showed up and inspected the car as well...all that mid town, in the middle of the road...causing a traffic jam...after we were done i got into the car and got a quire funny escort with the cops ahead of me and 6 scooters behind me who were honking and blowing kisses etc.....happens only in Italy i guess....everytime i go for a drive there its 100 % positive reactions so all the love you get in this country is the only option ferrari doesnt charge you for

 

That was lovely and adds the "specialness" of the brand. It's the kind of experience that makes us feel good and gets engraved in our memory!

Your Mum's comment was priceless
