    then i see him on 95...he passed me
    and then i get off...go to where i need to go...and start to drive back home....
    then i see him on the other side of the road, asking a lady in a mini van how to get some where.

    he was nice...just seemed clueless....then again it wasnt his.

    You should have asked him if you could drive it. He seems pretty clueless. Nice. A $1500 per day rental and he doesn't even know what it is.

    I think he knew what it was. No one pay $1,500 a day to drive something he doesn't appreciate at the first place. May be, He just didn't think it was going to be a guy stopping to talk to him... his way of meeting girls while enjoy his day driving, I guess.

    i dont know he looked really clueless...he didnt know how to get out of a small parking alot...
    and would try to over tke someone and stop (had alot of room too)

    and in know it was not stolen cause i saw a the name of the store on the tag on the front bumper...

    but there are ppl in boca that dont ever know what a ferrari is, so it doesnt really shock me....at the time it did tho...

    Oh no, you're wrong there! There are people out there that will just say, "I need a fancy sports car for a few days; whatdoya got?"

    "Got A Ferrari, see it over in the lot?"

    "Cool, I'll take it"

    "$1500 a day, sign here"

    "You got it!"

    They don't think twice.

    Agreed. Not everyone puts F-cars on a "pedastal" the way we do.

    You mean... "rich and stupid"

    You remind me of one time back in the states. There were these fancy dress, looking rich guys ang gals in a group for golf but got no clue how to play the game. They bought the fees and went on first tee. And for the very first time swing on the ball to get on their first hole. You can imagine that the ball went no where. Fifteen minutes later, the club manager asked these fancy funny dress to step a side and get their money and leave...
