Thats pretty bad, not a good thing that they are already $100,000+ cars and they arent safe for the consumer

What do you expect? It's a Ferrari.

Funny thread, by the way.

common, anyone that knows anything knows that ferraris aren't known for the quality, they are known for their "class". yup. every classy guy i know drives a ferrari.

Don't know many classy guys, do you?

classy != flashy.

 

Humans are prone to err.

Agreed. A car that can go 200+ MPH and the word safety should not be used in the same sentence.

i guess you missed the sarcasm there.

someone in the Ford GT thread said that the ferrari had more "class" than the ford.

obviously that's about as stupid a statement as someone can make about cars as neither car has anything to do with class.

damn, now i gotta take the car in for service.
