It almost made me sick when they wrecked it.
Fortunately someone actually here on FR told me it was a replica.

That scene from Ferris Bueller is akin to murder

Because in the last few years, the "investor" class came in and started buying Ferraris. Most of them are not car guys, and most of them could really care less about the cars. To them, it was a money/ego thing.

Because it had a big showroom price tag. If they’d slapped a big price tag on a Volkswagon Bug when it first came out, they’d have big price tags today.

Yes, something inside me died when I saw that scene. But the relief was that it could have been me in my teenage years.

That was NOT a real Ferrari in Bueller.
It was a replica based on a 240 Datsun chassis.

The 512 BBi is maybe my favorite. Followed by the 365 Daytona and 250 GTO.
I have seen the Ferrari 333SP race in the IMSA Series many times. I was at Daytona to see their win in the 24 Hours of Daytona. I also saw the Daytona Race where Max Papis was closing fast in the Ferrari 333SP at the end of the race trying to win. There was not enough time so he came in second. That is where he EARNED his nickname “Mad Max”.

“I’d be surprised if that kid still has either the Ferrari or the girlfriend.”
If he’s smart, no. Well, at least not the girlfriend.

The 512 BBi is maybe my favorite. About 15 years ago I saw one parked on the street at night. I couldn't stop looking at it. I swear the thing was alive.

During my misspent youth I had the supreme pleasure of racing a Ferrari 250 GTO all the way through Denver at about 3:00 in the morning. I was in a very tricked out Alfa Romeo. Nothing could ever compare to the exhaust note of those two Italian engines traveling at between a hundred and a hundred-fifty miles an hour. He would pass me in the straights and I would catch him in the corners. It's amazing how many "corners" Interstate 25 has at those speeds! The event remains a high point of my life. What a great sport he was to open up that Ferrari and let er go.
Yes, I did lose my license for something else shortly after that. :) As I should have.

The owner has it insured for $30M, which would be the starting price at auction. It’s a V12 1961.
While at this event, the owner walked away for awhile. He returned to find the divot in the hood (above right of the yellow horse emblem) from someone having sat on it for a photograph.

I saw a yellow one parked in front of the Phoenix Saloon in New Braunfels, Texas, last week. I could only wonder why one would spend that kind of money on a Ferrari other than red.

I could only wonder why one would spend that kind of money on a Ferrari other than red. A Ferrari should be red, but I liked the wet black one above.
Justin Bieber has a white Ferrari. White Ferraris should be illegal.
