Ferrari in handicapped zone

I'd have dropped a dime... waited for the ticket writer to arrive.


Attacked By Ferrari Owner - Pee Prank - YouTube

Fake. I know some Ferrari guys and they would never behave like that.

Could be...guess I'm overly sensitive, since my wife uses handicapped zones with good reason.

The Ferrari guy was acting like a puzzy. On the 2nd push, I would have planted my feet and driven his jaw to the side of his face. OTOH, water (not pee) being dispensed on the hood of my car would have drawn a similar reaction from me. But not the puzzy shoving kind. People who engage in these antics deserve what comes about given the various dispositions of 'victims.'

So all I saw was 2 puzzys. And not fake puzzys.

Playing on stereotypes is always easy. But I disagree with your statement, I have met some exotic car owners that would have behaved like that. Hell, I've met some Porsche owners that would behave like that.

Sorry, forgot to put it in green. Ferrari owners can be real dicks!

You see capable people park in the Handicap spots all the time, I think that's about as low and disrespectful as a person can go.
2 pussy's for sure, the owner should have been dropped and then hosed down.

During the summer, there's a guy that shows up frequently to the local Sunday cruise in/car show in his Testarossa (of course, with shields on the fender). Even though it (naturally) caters to the domestic set, there are plenty of vintage sports cars that show up periodically through the day. This guy shows up at 9, parks right out front in the area reserved for the featured domestic iron of the weekend (Chevy day, Mopar day,etc) and sits in his lawn chair till 4 or so. Struck up a conversation with him one day, and within 45 seconds lived up to the Ferrari cliché. “Yeah, I’m going to sell this car soon since the market’s strong and buy a timeshare in Miami, might even have some cash leftover for a 360 Modena blah blah blah”…or something to that effect, was kind of hard hearing him talk with the gold chains clanging on his pregnant-like gut.

As a comparison, Kip Wasenko (former Design Director of Cadillac) frequently shows up in his 246 Dino and is always a pleasure to talk to. Very nice and humble guy with a clear passion for the marque and cars in general.
Then again, the Dino isn’t a Ferrari, right?

246 Dino > Testarossa

Corollary to that equation:

246 Dino owner > Testarossa owner.
