Your most embarrassing, ghetto-move in a Ferrari?

funny posts!

 

One day at work, I went to roll up the windows for a 355 that was sitting outside. I decided to close the door behind me for whatever reason. When I successfully rolled the windows up, I went to open the door handle.

Problem is, I couldn't find it.

Looked all over but had no luck and started to feel incredibly stupid.

I eventually had to just roll the window back down again and reach over and pull the lever on the outside of the car to open the door. No one saw, but I had to go in and ask Nikki where the hell the door handle on the 355 is!!! Once I realized where it was it was definitely a DUH! moment

Rookie mistakes...

 

One time, I was really really low on gas in my 360. I was so desperate for fuel, I pull off the FWY in a not-so-great area to find a gas station. When I finally got to the gas station, I felt a great sense of relief as if I had been holding my pee for an hour and finally got to a restroom. That's how low on gas I was.

I pop the gas tank, open my door, hop out of the car all excited to put in some fuel and then realize.... I don't have my wallet.

I was so desperate for gas that I looked around and SERIOUSLY considered asking someone for a couple bucks so I could put some gas in to make sure I made it home.

Then I thought about how that would look. The people at the gas station were already staring at me cause I was in a bright red, loud-as-hell Ferrari. So I didn't have a "ghetto moment", except in my mind but man, that would have been G-H-E-T-T-O.

I ended up making it home driving super slow to conserve fuel.

 

Blasting "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath (from the 1999 Reunion CD) through my 308's sound system.

 

Hardly a ghetto move.

Black Sabbath ROCKS! I have a Judas Priest CD in my 308, and particularly like to play "Headin' Out to the Highway" and "Steeler" on fast drives; that is, of course, when I'm not just enjoying the delightful roar of the engine.

 

funny haha...

 

i turn on my radio on my 348 (rarely) and P Didi was raping....a ghetto moment.

 

What was Diddy raping?

 

Lol.. What missing out on a alphabet does to a sentence........ P.Diddy you rapist!

 

I have a couple of moments to mention.

The first one was when I went through the drive-thru at the pharmacy to pick up my prescription. When the guy inside sent my order out in the tray, I asked him if the discount had been applied to the total. Because it was hot outside, I had left the engine running for the A/C. So, he could not hear me over the sound of my 348 exhaust note. I repeated my question a couple of times without luck. He finally screamed at me that he could not hear me over the engine (as he rolled his eyes). So I screamed out very loud "DID YOU APPLY MY DISCOUNT TO MY TOTAL!". Then my girlfriend and I looked around to see everyone else in line looking at us like we were idiots. We left quickly.


The second time was when I was teaching my girlfriend how to drive my 348. She had been doing great for over two hours and was having a blast. Then she said that she needed a bottle of water. So we proceeded to try and find some place to pick up said water. We were coming up on a store on our left. There was a turn lane in the middle of the road. As we were getting close to the store turn in, I could see that the entry was too steep for the front end. We were slowing down in the turn lane when I told her to stop here. She said "Why?" as she proceeded to pull in. I shouted "STOP!" but she continued to ask why and continued to pull in. I knew exactly what was about to happen and it did. She scraped the front end as we started into the parking lot. So, she hits the brakes and stops. Now we are hanging half way into the street with cars flying by. I told her to go ahead and move forward into the parking lot. It was too late for the front end. About that time, some cars pulled up next to us on the way out and stopped to watch. Of course, this made my GF very nervous so she revved the engine much higher than needed and popped the clutch. This launched us up and into the parking lot. She then panicked and slammed the brakes on a second time. I told her to just stop right there. I tried to not act angry but I am sure it showed a bit. We got out and swapped seats and took off while a rather large crowd of people had gathered for the event. Needless to say that we did not stop there for water. I told her that in the future (if I ever let her drive it again) when I say to stop the car, to do so without an explanation.

 

HA ha ha ha that's telling her

 

WHY??






<ducks>

I feel your pain. I don't let ANYONE drive my cars unless they've spent plenty of time riding with me, to know how/why I do what I do, and that they understand those "quirks". If they ask why I don't just park next to the half-primer '78 Monte Carlo with the 4 ft. long doors that weigh a quarter ton, so they won't have to walk as far, they're immediately banned from even getting borrowing the key to grab something out of the car.
Very, very, very few people have driven any of my cars, especially the non-DDs.

I did, however, have an otherwise wonderful gf manage to sit the passenger side rocker panel perfectly on a corner curb in my new RX-7 convertible - fortunately, that curb was exactly 1/16" shorter than said rocker, with me in the seat, and she stopped immediately. Got out, backed it up, no damage. She was so careful after that, that I could have turned her loose in anything. She got it - I miss that one....if I'd only known, at 25......sigh.
Damn, I sound like Tex.

 

Hey now, lets leave the monte carlo out of this...I drive one and i think their are worse cars to park beside ;p. oh and just measured the doors, and i think 3 feet would be more accurate. lol.

 

I actually want one, purely for the "nothing to lose" intimidation factor.
Those 1/8" plate-steel doors must be more than 3 ft......I just know it.

 

wow, those are 2 rough stories...hopefully the damage to the front end wasn't bad.

 

Well, I thought that she was to that place of understanding. She had ridden with me many times and was aware of the bottoming out issues. I think it was a case of brain fade. She was in the middle of the street and there were cars coming down the road and I think that she just used her autopilot reaction of getting out of the road. I think that she thought that I did not think she could make it into the parking lot before the oncoming car arrived. If I had yelled to stop the car because it was going to bottom out I think she would have stopped. But anyway, like I said, if she is ever allowed to drive again, she knows to stop on command (hopefully).

 

The first 348 I ever bought, the driver side door got stuck in the closed position on the way home from the dealer so I had to climb out of the window at the gas station and climb back in through the window (Dukes Of Hazzard style)....um yeah....3 times!! (dealer was 1k miles away from home)...Although the last 2 gas stops I just climbed out the passenger side door.

Had my passenger side door get stuck with the next 348 I had, twice while girls were in the car....and I couldn't let them out...umm....one time AT THE CLUB in the FRONT of the club.

I wanted the horsey on the front so I tied it onto the lower front grill with twisty ties from some loafs of bread....

I got backed into by a truck that was too high and couldn't see me, once again, right in front of the nightclub....

Was hooking up with a girl in the passenger seat(very difficult btw) and she kicked my rear view mirror off...

Drove to the body shop with no front bumper on one time because it was getting resprayed...very interesting sight for a lot of people im sure..

Last time I went to take it out I met a girl out and she came back to my house JUST to take a spin in it and the clutch pedal dropped to the floor with no pressure....Told her "ummm, I guess not"....

Door hinge pin fell out one time so I used a paper clip as a temporary fix...

 

I once forgot to put on my red Ferrari hat and jacket and Rolex before venturing out in my Ferrari among the unwashed proletariat masses.

And I forgot my Grey Poupon.

It was very traumatizing.

 

Are you in therapy? Good luck with that.

I once finished my jar or Grey Poupon right before a guy in a lambo asked for some. Very humiliating.

 

LoL....I have been to the Dollar Store on more than one occasion in my 355. HA!

I say...."HoLLLLLLAAaaaaaaa for 'da DOLLLLLAAaaaAAA Sto'!!"

It makes me feel like I fit in. hahahahaha!

 

not a ferrari,but i've managed to reverse into a lamp post while talking to a girl on the phone,and also reverse into a bollard,while that same girl was in my sitting in my car......

 

Life ain't always beautiful, but its a beautiful ride....

Ferrari' are always beautiful, but they ain't always a beautiful ride....

 

I rolled my 512 into a ditch, (hit some gravel on a corner)..smelled gas which motivated me to kick out the windshield, crawl out and cut ,my arms on the glass..a kid on a bike was watching and laughing ...I called a tow truck, standing there like a fool was very embarassing and trying to explain away my accident...oh I have learned..
