Was the owner wearing a Ferrari shirt and hat as well?

You don't even need to ask that question. It's required for all Ferrari owners to wear at least one piece of Ferrari clothing at all times.

I think that's a given. The question is if he was wearing Ferrari undies and cologne.

While typically true, not always. Years ago I met an incredibly low key guy in Charlotte who regularly used his F40 as a track car! That was in addition to his fully built Porsche 930 race car. You'd never know he even owned a Ferrari unless someone else told you. Once I met him, he invited me over to check out both and bullE36 M3ted with me for a few hours. Very cool guy.

Somehow, that's even worse than having "CIVIC" across the top of your windshield.

Anyone remember the conversation between the Ferrari salesman and Memphis in Gone with 60 Seconds?

Yeah, that's the difference between the owner in the OP and the one referenced by dyintorace.

Essentially you've got newly-rich people, showing off and connoisseurs who just enjoy the cars. You see that in all of the high-end marques and you have to just roll with it and ignore the folks that don't have a clue.

The CIVIC windshield banner is my next mod. The 3" exhaust and 50mm blow off valve doesn't draw nearly enough attention.

I dunno about you, but I would totally put "CIVIC" across the top of the windshield of any Ferrari I owned.

That was a great part of that movie.

And I would drive a Ferrari while wearing an AMC Gremlin shirt.

Was that car part of the show or was the owner just an asshat that doesn't think the parking lines apply to him?

Another random point, I thought Ferraris were supposed to be attractive?

That is a big nasty pile of ugly, and this is coming from someone who loves ugly cars.

Just like Harley's, you must own 30 t-shirts before purchasing the bike.

Ooer, that's an unfortunate typo. I think that's supposed to be an 'L', not an 'N'...

(WTBerkeley is that even supposed to mean?)

It might be the other way around. My sister in law bought a Harley, now she "needs" new riding gear to match. It's driving her husband a bit nuts.

I actually like the second view better.
I still have to wonder if you asked because the best thing that I know to ask of a Ferrari owner is, "Is that a Fiero Kit-car?"

Decent side profile, but still fugly.

"Let's make it curvy and angular as hell"

"How's that going to work?"

"It isn't"

"BRILLIANT"

Man. And here I thought the Jensen GT had a somewhat ungainly profile.
