Justify Your Ferrari

got far too much money and didnt know what to do with it all, so thought, i'll buy an expensive bright red ferrari so everyone will think, what a nice chap, as i drive past !!

 

Promised myself a Ferrari at the time I turned thirty. Told the wife to be (at the time) to put the wedding off a year, told her the car was a dream that I had to fulfill. By putting the wedding off I was able to pay for the car in cash, no credit needed. She agreed to it. Parents was all for me getting the car. No excuses needed to really. Was then able to save for the wedding.

 

I drive one because I can. Seems to rub people up just the right way!!

 

Promised myself I'd buy one when I sat in the just released 348 at the motor show when I was 19.
15 years later I did it

My philosophy is that if I die and my bank account is in credit then I haven't made the most of things. Get it spent

As my dad always says "It's better than spending your money on drugs"

 

Well mine is not anything like as expensive as some here, though (and how many times I am told this I do not know), I could of bought a new car for the money????

I bought one because all Ferrari's IMHO look and sound fantastic. I am on the F-car ladder now and already planning the next

 

Well i got mine to show all you muppets what a proper ferrari is 12 cylinders in the rear

 

As my dad said to my mum when I showed them my car for the first time:

"don't ask him why he bought it, ask him if he can afford it!"

 

Can't Justify it, but who cares

 

Soon after we got married, my wife told me I would never get a Ferrari as long as we were married.

She's now my ex-wife and I have a Ferrari.

How do I justify owning it? I makes me feel good!!!

 

Very easy - Life is too short, if you want one, get one.

As another F-Chatter once said, "on your death bed the only things you regret are the things you didn't do".

 

sigh.

Justify mine by working 70 odd hours a week to pay for it, so no-one can say I have'nt earnt the right to drive a Ferrari

 

I did'nt think coal miners got paid that much!

 

hey i worked down the pit for 10 years

 

The car don't actually wholly belong to me....the finance company still own about oohhh, half of it!! My motto in life is "I'm gonna go out owing"

 

who let you out?

 

illness and bad health

 

Had no one yet (family & friends) questioning my sanity on buying one, and now upgrading, guess that's cause they're happy for me. It's the people who ask you to justify it, they aren't your mates, thus to them - who gives a f.ck - but Ken, know where you're coming from

 

Not got one yet but I am sure petrolheadedness counts as justification!

 

Seems simple to me - I got it because I wanted to

 

I cant afford it, but the bank kindly offered to help me.

 

I justifed it by saying I'd sell my 911, buy an old Volvo estate, save on petrol, insurance etc and then it would be just about affordable and I would be a happy and attentive husband. So I got the 355. Just couldn't find a Volvo anywhere so I had to keep the 911 I was honestly going to sell it. Still, all worked out ok in the end, although I am poor now

 

Thought long and hard about this. I couldn't. So I sold it.

 

coulnt find a good skoda
