How to avoid being a Ferrari Nerd

I actually wore my Hubbell Ferrari shirt on July 4th. Great shirt by the way.

 

I believe the defining characteristic of the Ferrari Nerd is not the shirts, but rather the red shoes and socks. No male should ever wear red shoes and socks

 

Roger that...you also have to be careful not to mix different year's gear, as the color shifted....

 

The clown shoes are a big no-no.

 

LOL!!! Who doesn't wear Rosso Scuderia shorts with Rosso Corsa shoes and socks!?

 

Wearing more than 1 item of clothing with the Ferrari emblem on it is being a Ferrrari nerd in my book.

In fact, there is probably an inverse correlation between the number of clothing items worn with Ferrari emblems and the probability that the wearer actually owns a Ferrari.

Wheres the 308 dude ?

 

Isn't it kind of expensive to dress in full Ferrari combat gear? Ferrari clothes aren't cheap epecialy accessories like watches then adding water bottles and such, money better spent towards a real car or if you have one a cam belt change.

 

Good grief!

 

Enzodude is classic! Redefines the 'poser'. I would like an Enzodude crossing sign for my street.

I disagree, to an extent... a tastefull ferrari-related ball-cap can be added to a polo/simple logo shirt without too much fanfare.

i.e. I wear my active autowerks (a BMW tuner) hat (freebie from GatewayTech) with a chapter t-shirt or roundel-logo polo-shirt.

both BMW items, but not both BMW-branded items.





does that pass muster?

also, color MUST MUST MUST MUST contrast. for Ferrari, red shirt, black hat, or somesuch.

 

and would SOMEONE PLEASE POST MORE PICTURES!!!!!

 

I have a Ricambi America hat that I wear... I've gotten a couple smiles from people at the mall, so I must assume they're owners or at least are FChatters.

 

indeed... it seems you are less "that guy" if you wear items from firms related to teh marque... like sporting a RUF hat to go with your PCA shirt.

 

Even a Ferrari cap and a Ferrari polo shirt combo?

 

Best way to avoid being a Ferrari Nerd: Drive a Ferrari - don't wear Ferrari cloths.

Rob,

I think you are on to something. I don't think I own a single piece of Ferrari clothing, yet when I've struck up a conversation with someone wearing a Ferrari hat or jacket, it usually ends up that they don't have the car. On the other hand, the Ferrari wardrobe is a converstion starter.

I had to take a picture of that guy with his face painted red. I spotted him a couple times and snapped a pic right before the metro came. I knew it would be a classic Ferrari nerd shot

 

i am guilty of being a fan. i wear my silly clothes to the track on race day. i don't parade around in them elsewhere. i think a tasteful polo or cap at an event, like a car show or a marque get together, is appropriate. i rarely wear any badged apparel other than my red and black piloti driving shoes when i'm in the car,though. people shouldn't take themselves so seriously. relax and have fun. life's short.

 

Where can I get a WH racing shirt? It captures a time and place well, I love it.

You guys spend way too much time worrying what other people think. Life is far too short for me to give a rat's behind what others are concerned with.

If you want to not be a Ferrari nerd...........don't pose with your car. Don't be so concerned with how low your milage is, or if the weather will be OK for your trip to Starbucks...........and learn to drive the car........and make sure that you track it. Then wear whatever the hell you want, and tell everyone else to piss off.
