My rule is if you pull up in a $100k car you can drive any of ours. We have insurance so I don't worry about the car, I worry about the capability of the customer to handle the power and possible injure themselves.
Repeat customers can drive whatever they want.  |
I was out of town, and happened to know from F-chat that the Ferrari's California test/show car was staying at the local Ferrari dealership. I stopped by to check it out, salesman asked if I wanted to drive it. I was a bit dumbfounded, but as I wasn't a potential buyer I said no. I sometimes kick myself for saying that.
I've found the salespeople at Ferrari dealers to be some of the nicest car guys in any new car dealership I've been to. Fact is, they've seen someone poorly dressed drive out in an Aston, Porsche, Ferrari, whatever... they know rich people do not always look rich, so they won't make biased judgments like a lot of people tend to do.
