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

What do you expect? It's a Ferrari.

Funny thread, by the way.

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.
 
im glad you posted this. now the stupid fvcking ford haters can stfu.

i may be an american car lover but im not blindly loyal to them.
 
And the difference is this thread is nowhere close to the 100 posts on the Ford GT recall thread.
