Yes - it's a Ferrari F355 with a fake Porsche Turbo emblem...

Found it on this site:
http://www.riceboypage.com/shame/hall_of_shame_10/hallofshame10.html

From the site:

Quote:
Some guys saw this car in the bay area and thought... wow man, a turbo on an F355? That sounds great!! But after some coercing, the owner of this Ferrari opened up the engine compartment... lack of turbo verified.

I don't know why you would want to defile the wonderful reputation and style of the F355 with a turbo badge from a Porsche... especially when you don't even have a turbo!! Nothing against Porsche, of course.
How weird... why would a Ferrari owner pretend to have a turbo when he doesn't??!! Especially with a Porsche badge!

It's not a Porsche, that's what's wrong with it.

Oh, I thought it was the nasty Toyota MR2 that was bastardized into a "Turbo F355". That fact that it had a turbo sign I thought was the red herring...

There's all kinds of posers in this world. I knew a putz in high school who had a 4 banger fox body Mustang that he put 5.0 emblems on.

What's really funny is when some Ferrari owner tries to drag race one of those suped up Toyota's or Honda's and looses.

Then of course Juan kick's there arse in his 911

Owner must have seen The Fast and the Stupid...uh er...... I mean Furious, and is too ignorant to realize that he really has a decent car there.

When I see things like that it reminds me that the gene pool needs a good cleaning.

That's what is meant by "more money than sense."

With all due respect....Shut UUUUp
I've seen some of the toys that have graced your garage. I'm sure you've made more than one Ferrari owner jealous.

F-Cars are NOT supposed to be yellow......ONLY red.

True story, I have this step sister....her Dad is like mega rich.....she borrowed the dork's F-car and went bistro bopping.......down in LALALand.

So after an afternoon of the malls, nails being done, hitting the bistro and NOT finding Mr Goodbar.....she hits the valet park. She tries to get Joe Adonis' attention and he hits her with the 'tude of.... "hey, I'm in need of a BJ and/or 20 bucks to attend ya quickly".....when Joe gets around to her....she says...the blue Ferrari....he says Yah right.....

The junior valet grabs the ticket gets the keys, gets Daddy's faggy blue F-car and gets a $50 for his trouble.....

Man.....I need a better broker......

I just happened to see it as I was driving wicked step mom in the P-car.....and asked about it later.....

I am confused, this is a better puzzle...is your step sister the daughter of your evil step mom which is the ex of the guy with the Ferrari?

but who is Joe Adonis and Mr Goodbar?

OK....let me 'splain it SLOWLY Lucy.....

Dad, divorced Mom.....Dad married wicked step Mom.....Wicked step Mom had kids before marrying Dad.....WSM divorced the mega rich dork BEFORE he hit the big time.....so yeah...you are right.....but I needed further expansion of the scenario.......

BTW, the dork, his daughter and the weasel step bro, thinks I'm an idiot and will have nothing to do with me or my family.....after meeting them, I'm ahead of the game.....they have some serious problems besides being semi related to ME.....
