Mark Stewart yep but the point is you're already aware of that. You don't go "oh i never imagined this ferrari could draw so much attention". You want the driving experience without the attention go buy a BMW M3. part of the experience of driving a ferrari IS drawing attention.
A non M3 draws attention of petrolheads only. the average people won't notice the difference between an M3 and a common bmw 3serie while you can still enjoy the driving experience cause that things goes as fast as a ferrari 430.
Mark Stewart bullshit! You buy a Ferrari for attention . Besides only little small guys can fit in a Ferrari so it's a status thing . " look I'm a tiny man but I have a Ferrari so I have a big wallet " lol . Oh my gosh look at all the peasants staring at my big red wallet !lol .
He explained in one of his videos that the reason he doesn't do such videos on his personal cars anymore is because people gradually lose interest the more videos you make about your car.
+HollatotheBalla just walked up to my car today after getting out at walmart, saw this dumbass hit my car with her door and then just sit there with her door against mine as she gets out and her fat ass shakes her car, causing her door to rub up and down against mind. i walked up and unlocked my car and cleared my throat and the bitch just said "oh" and walked away i hate people.
+HollatotheBalla My old Mercedes has an aluminum trim on the sides which looks cool but actually prevents door dings (unless a its a dude in a lifted truck).
+WALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOW In my experience you don't even have to go to a store parking lot to have stuff like that happen, it even happens when you have residential reserved parking. My parents' old car got reversed into 3 times (one time requiring a whole new door and some more body work) and the right hand side is full of dings from an asshole family with a parking spot on the right hand side of the car. However nobody has ever left a note even apologizing for the damage. The only time somebody has contacted my parents was when some stuck up bitch reversed into the car and tried to make a run for it before a neighbor stopped her and threatened to call the cops. Short version of the story is that parking lots, wherever they are, always bring out the worst in people.
+tom11zz884 the funny thing is i used to have a 350Z and people hit my shit all the time with their doors. Then i traded it in for a Tundra. No one has ever even dinged it. I swear people are just assholes and do it on purpose to nice looking cars.
Teach a man how to fish and he can feed himself...that old saying is true....(I know it isn't verbatim and I don't care)...Know how to work on your own car and you can fix it yourself instead of paying someone else. Also some mechanics, not all, are not very honest about their work. The best person who will ALWAYS treat you right and well is yourself.
+Jia L. that's just it, if the average person won, say 50k the first thing that they would want to do is get a new car. when what they should be doing is investing it and turning it into 80k then 120k then 200k and so on. well, they get the car, and then there is an accident and they can't get another because of insurance problems.
Air Koi yes you do if you have to repair it then where da money at? You probably by this point have bought a ferrari and have 1 dollar left if it has problems then you need to be rich to repair it
I drive a VW Golf and I am constantly, 24/7 thinking about whether people will scratch or dent my car. On-street parking is the only option where I live. I also die a little whenever I need to go over a hump or pot hole. If I had a Ferrari, I'd probably never use it, I'd lock it inside my garage and never even touch it.
mrcuboid I personally own 6 VW's one of which happens to be a 1986 Golf Diesel. Its one of my all time favorite cars. It has 230,000 miles on it and still averages 48mpg.
MrMidnightClubm50 There's really nothing wrong with the car. It's rock solid and reliable. I've even owned one before. But let's be honest...we're watching a video about a super car costing more than 5 times whatever a VW costs so to compare your worries about random people denting/scratching your 30 grand V-Dub to the worries of a Ferrari owner is silly really. Dents and scratches to a V-Dub can be fixed at a random body shop. The cost to fix a scratch/dent to a Ferrari will probably be the cost of an entire Golf looooooooool
I don't understand the hate on this video. He's covering the negatives that come from driving it on a practical level which is the interesting part! HE isn't actually complaining about driving a Ferrari, it's just very interesting info about it.
+Nick Wright but they are things that would apply to ANY car thats not a "beater" that you bought specifically because you wanted something to rag on and not care.
because it's the underlying message.... yeah there's problems with all cars but it's the classic reverse psych ....you discourage the sheep by talking about how bad it is to be rich enough to afford the rich persons things!!! you've got to learn to read between the lines! !!!
His only legit critiques are the attention he gets..... because he bought a red one, and the fact that the roads are shitty. The rest of the issues are stuff he just has in his head
Daddy Doug, I want you to know damn that's a car that does lots of stuff. Digimon. Lampoo. Lepe don da poopie de lamoo poo poo eoo eoo anoo anoo snot snot snot snot snot snot snot snot. Bogger. Boogers are sd pars.
I'm curious what Doug thinks about this car now after all these years driving crazy exotics daily. This is the Honda Civic of sports cars by comparison.
Some of the people in the comments took this video wayyyyyyyy to seriously.... He's just giving an OBJECTIVE point of view that MAJORITY of us car drivers can relate to with expense prices and such... And on a side note to everyone saying if he can afford a Ferrari he won't care about gas and maintenance expenses, rich people tend to pay the MOST attention to nickel and diming everything.. You get to that point by only investing in assets so it makes sense even if it's chump change..
cars suck when it's too hard to get a license in the first place especially when you can barely pass the 50 question written test that changes more then i change my underwear and there should be a real device that limits the speed instead of signs that people don't follow
darkholyPL in any two seater sports car, the passenger seat is not a passenger seat. It’s extra cargo space. Only one person rides in a sports car, the driver. Everyone else is cargo.
They always make full inspection on a car at dealer services. If they find something they will tell you but your not forced to fix it if you don't want too.
I had a brand new Miata. Once when parking it in a large chain supermarket parking lot, even though I parked well away from every car, a runaway grocery cart hit the side and left a big dent. I complained about it and was contacted by the companies attorney. He told me, if I took the company to court, I would lose because they are not responsible. However, he was a nice man, and maybe even sympathized with my dilemma. He suggested that I get it fixed and send the bill to the company telling them the story like I expected them to pay for it. Amazing, they did, and that was that.
I get screws and nails in pretty much every tire I buy... just because it's a Ferrari does not mean you can't patch it yourself for 10 bucks.. especially a screw that's right in the middle of the tire like that. That's a 20 minute permanent fix.
Every morning, I would wait at my crosswalk to walk into my first class of the morning at exactly the same time, and every day, waiting at the light, was the same gentleman in a Lamborghini Diablo 6.0 VT.
As someone who's been daily-driving MR2s, Fieros, an Elise, various Zs, and a CRX for the past 15 years, the only thing with any real merit here is the price issue. Even my Elise lost a lot of value at only 47k miles. But I buy sports cars to drive them, so I go in with the mentality that it's going to depreciate, not sit on a shelf as a collector's item. At which point it's just an issue of whether a given person can afford to do that with a given car. Yes, sports cars don't have as many seats as a double-decker bus. But that only matters if you have more than one passenger. Obviously, a two-seater isn't good for a family of eight. But it's fine for one or two people. One you didn't mention: sports cars have limited trunk / frunk space. But there's plenty of room for groceries. My MR2 Spyder (third gen) had far less room than a 360 Spider, but I never had real issues by myself. (Different story when a date and I discovered we had to crush the corners of the pizza box to make it fit in the frunk.) And I've gone camping with two people in both Fieros and (second gen) MR2s. And even my mom's Outback doesn't fit eight 12-foot sheets of sheetrock in the back. Sometimes you just have to borrow or rent something bigger; that's life. Yes, parking the car in a random location is risky. The only difference here is in the cost of that risk versus the cost with a $500 Honda. Which goes back to, "can you afford a Ferrari?" not "can you drive it daily?" There's also the difference that most places I ever went had parking lots and/or garages nearby, so I rarely had to park street-side anywhere, making this a situational issue. Yes, dealerships are expensive. No, you don't actually have to use them. It's just a matter of how much you care about resale value versus saving money now (and how much you trust the random shop versus the dealership), which again ultimately comes down to "can you afford a Ferrari?" Yes, putting miles on the car costs money. The important aspect you didn't cover here is the historically enormous relative costs of maintaining supercars versus a Camry. In the 38k miles I drove my Elise, a Gallardo would have needed three to four clutches, each costing about $10k. That's as much in clutches as my entire car cost. Again, this boils down to affordability, not whether you can drive it daily. Ditto for insurance costs. Yes, the attention can get annoying. Especially since 99% of it comes from middle-aged and older dudes. But you get used to it and learn when to have fun with it and when to say "sorry, in a hurry, have a nice day!" (Unless you're into older dudes, in which case it's probably a bonus.) Yes, sports cars are bumpier than my mom's Outback . But I still feel more comfortable in my MR2 because I like the road feel and the control.
agree you need to be able to afford it without insurance in order to buy it then you can most definitely drive it everyday and not even care where you park it and whatever.
I completely disagree with most of Mr. DeMuros points. I regularly drive and have daily driven my MUCH older Ferrari 308 QV. It draws a lot of attention - yeah, but I expect that. Services are costly, especially at a Ferrari dealership, however, when I got a screw in my tire I took it right the local tire place and it cost me less than $20. I drive it for ME, not for the resale value. I park at WalMart or the grocery store and have learned to NOT worry about little scratches and such. People LOVE the car and generally respect it for what it is. As James Glickenhaus said - not driving your Ferrari is like not having sex with your girlfriend so that she will be better for her next boyfriend.
But Mr. DeMuro seemed extremely worried about resale value in his video which does make my analogy apply. That is what I was referencing... If he doesnt want to drive a Ferrari every day because he is worried about the resale value, then maybe he shouldnt own a Ferrari.
Ira Pelismino that is if there's a wide space in front, but the video's setup is different, no parking space. I'd rather ride a motorbike, a normal one for this occasion for no parking problem :p
Hi, I have a question, if a Ferrari crashes and gets small damage in the front, but enough to have a small piece of its skin falls out, then can we still drive the vehicle to some place before getting it fixed? Thank you very much.
Well, I've talked to an Enzo owner and he's worried about the mileage. Fair enough, an Enzo is an *investment* and not a toy for the "typical hedge-fund-manager".
The point is not to intentionally make bad financial decisions. The point is that the financially responsible thing to is to be in a comfortable/secure enough financial position that IF you suddenly and completely lost the car then it wouldn't significantly affect you at all. It's like investing/gambling. You should be well enough off to lose double what you're currently investing/gambling and still be fine. It's NOT that you plan to lose money. It's being responsible enough to be in a good enough financial position to be able to take those bumps/risks/loses from the start, which is the smart/responsible thing to do, if possible.
***** All cars aren't unobtainable expensive per-say unless we're talking Hyper cars. Maserati's and Aston Martins can be bought for 50-60K. I dnt know where ur looking but I cnt find one Ferrari (unless it's 100yrs old) for under 90K
e314ds Ebay wow stop lol I'm sure ur getting real quality there. A Ferrari with 100K miles that will more than likely explode once u go around the block. Dude u can buy C5's Vettes at that price. Lets not be ignorant ;)
Guy Random Definitely a good point. So far this year I've probably spent about 2k on my F430 on maintenance (and another 2.5k on insurance) and will likely spend another 8k by having capristo headers installed. You just have to accept that an expensive car comes with a premium when it comes to parts and labor. Regular mantenance (oil, brake flush, radiator fluid) comes like at 1k a year, so that is not bad. 15k maintenance might be a little more expensive, but if you are a DIYer and feel bold, you might be able to buy the spark plugs for 30 bucks a pop and do the job yourself and save some cash in the process.
Great video, but Doug glossed over the fact that not only do you get attention, you have to know everything about the car. Year, model, engine size, piston firing pattern... some people know more about your car than you do and are upset at you for not knowing.
lol if you can afford a ferrari then gas and regular maintenance shouldn't be a financial issue in the first place. btw the 1st part was stupid, those girls being all upset, yeah right its a ferrari!!! i would gladly sit on my friends lap no problem, the only true part about this video is the constant "is someone gonna hit my car" thoughts when you park somewhere, oh and the non-stop attention from pedestrians part is what you get when you buy a super car like a ferrari, love it or hate it either way get used to it lol.
I think with regards to attention he is separating Ferrari customers into two distinct camps - those that buy the car for the symbol/name brand prestige and those who buy the car for the PERFORMANCE. I quite honestly consider my 911 turbo S to be a super car (it is around the $200k mark after all, with performance that dwarfs a 360) but the car only receives looks and generates excitement among car enthusiasts. If someone approaches me to ask about my car, they are much more likely to talk to me about the car's performance figures than questions like how much I paid for the car or what I do/did for a living. 99% of people have no idea what a turbo S is or that it is any different from a normal Porsche 911. Additionally, maintenance should always be considered an issue - why would I buy a car I will have to pay $15k a year to maintain on top of a large price point when I can pay the same amount for a more reliable one? People who you consider wealthy don't become so by being careless with their money, they become so through hard work and dedication (for the most part). Thanks for your time.
Just for the record, a modena like that is worth ~70k So yea, gas and regular maintenance is considerable Gator Guy I would surely get more impressed by a turbo S on the street than a... 360
TwskiTV You are different than the average driver and may know a thing or two about cars... read the comment in its entirety one more time. Thanks for the contribution.
Gator Guy I expressed myself badly, I know average people would preffer the Ferrari but the way I said it looked like I was disagreeing with you. Wasn't my intention
Shared this video countless times, Doug. Every 15 years I buy a supercar, after I forget the reality of them owning you, not you owning them. THANK YOU.
I remember watching this video years ago! I don’t really remember any of it, or even if I watched the whole video, but I remember that at one point I’ve watched this video!
And the big irony is- If you don't drive your Ferrari every day, the seals get dry. Then when the owner wants to have fun and jumps into it to have a fling and leans on it, something leaks, and/or something breaks. They must be driven daily for at least a few miles.
I used to be a chauffeur and got to drive lots of great cars, but one weekend I was expected to drive a 458 and stay in London for 2 nights and 3 days. No one tells you how bloody wide they are. There was only one car park that I could physically get the car in on Mayfair just up the road from the Dorchester but I didn't buy an overnight ticket in advance so I couldn't leave it there. I couldn't park it on the road because I was a coward even if I could physically do it. 2011 model had no sensors, so I ended up driving out of London and sleeping IN the car at the service station at Junction 1 of the M1. I got to my hotel for just 50 minutes to shower and change once. I never, ever wanted to drive one ever again.
Robin Addis-Vaughn It was when I was helping a friend when both his parents got cancer and he had to nurse them. First his mother, then his father. His mother died relatively quickly, though it was horrific but his father lingered for ages. The chauffeuring was easy brainless work. The fun part was I often got to take the cars home.
ali Servan I'm sorry for your friend's loss. An awful reason to get a sweet gig though! Which was the coolest to drive? An attorney friend of mine, he's probably the best attorney I've ever met, he comes across as this county lawyer, exaggerates the accent when in other states, and boy are they shocked when he goes for the kill and gets it. He's very generous to his staff as well. He loaned his brand new Corvette out to the receptionist to use her entire birthday weekend. I gave him hell about it, he tossed me the keys, I didn't even work for him, this was while I was Clerk of Court. I caught them, but I couldn't drive it because it was stick shift, so he took me for a fast ride! But, the sweetest thing he did was help his paralegal. She was like me, had a natural ability to understand the law but she had a small child and couldn't afford it. She got into law school, her parents helped take care of her child, she got loans and when she graduated, she had a job waiting for her. I'm sure he helped her with expenses but not expecting anything in return, except a great lawyer. He answered his own phone sometimes if they were busy and as long as it wasn't his case, and you needed a quick answer, he never hesitated with the answer. Very cool guy!
Robin Addis-Vaughn He sounds awesome! To be honest most of the cars I drove were a bit of a disappointment. The only exec car I loved was the Mercedes S class and the Maybach, but 7 Series BMW gave me back ache and the Bentley Flying Spur was fast (had it up to 177 mph) but the driving position was awful. I kept bumping my head and I'm only 5'7"! Of the supercars the Lamborghini had no working windows and no aircon so was like sitting in a microwave, the ferraris are just too wide for UK roads, I drove a Noble which was very cool but scary. The only car I was blown away by and ended up really REALLY wanting was an Aston Martin DB9. It was a nice job and every single client was really lovely. Not one douchebag :D
+[̲̅G̲̅][̲̅A̲̅][̲̅M̲̅][̲̅E̲̅][̲̅S̲̅] [̲̅&̲̅] [̲̅M̲̅][̲̅O̲̅][̲̅R̲̅][̲̅E̲̅] I actually like the idea of tying your miles/kilometers to your insurance payments.
+infiltr80r -In a sense, insurance companies already do. The more miles that you report per year increases the likelihood of incidences, thus raising your rates.
Rick Perry Wow, completely different in Europe then. I have never reported miles/km in any form and the payments are only related to my age, accident record and engine power...and possibly to how long I've had the license. Sucks for me as I barely drove.
I have been driving mine every day for 20 years. Its got scratches , worn seats, dog saliva on the windows etc...It has 205k on the clock and I take it to my local mechanic who loves having it in his workshop because he loves it and so do his customers. He charges me proper rates. Steer clear of Ferrari dealers. To my kids and grandkids I am a legend to all their mates. One day I will sell it for more than I bought it. Stick to your Honda Doug and don't worry about it too much, its a car and you can repair scratches.
Paying outright for a supercar is so dumb, if you can afford to buy it finance the car and invest the money else where unless your buying something ultra rare and sought after, that £200-£300k you drop on a Lamborghini or Ferrari you won't be selling that for that money
Hey Doug I'm a little late to the party on this one, but I work for a valet team that deals with Super and Hyper cars very often!! There are many options you have with us. Like being able to front park you expensive car yourself and take the keys if you aren't trusting. This does happen. Also, when we are handed the keys only the most well experienced will touch your car, and of course we take extreme precaution to make sure your car is well handled. We don't want to lose our jobs ya know lol.
I used to have a badass classic 1973 Camaro. It had 650 hp and a $6000 paint job. I know it's not comparable to a Ferrari, but it was something that everyone who saw it loved it and I got offers for it every day. Basically a super fast show car. It was my daily driver for a little over a year, and while it was really cool at first, you pretty quickly realize that it's not ideal to drive something like that on a daily basis, that and the fact that even the coolest car in the world gets to seem pretty hum drum plain with enough time behind the wheel. When you use it every day it loses something. It somehow seems less special to you, and in my opinion that's the highest cost of all about using something like that every day.
+The Acanthus/Plinth Type People who come from long blood lines of money just about consider themselves royalty, and such cars would be considered "low." They do spend huge money on cars. Cars that they pay people to drive so they can ride around in the back seat of them. Just not sports cars like these. I don't think anyone considers any car an investment.
+The Acanthus/Plinth Type What's wealthy and what's rich? You seem to think there's a difference between the two. You talked about "old money," art, real estate, and other sort of investments. Families like that are bloodlines of wealth, and are not just a little wealthy, they're super-wealthy. Those types of people consider them above everyone else, and they buy expensive cars that they use as taxis. Oh, and art to them is not an investment. It's just another thing to own so they can feel superiour to everyone else. All they crave is power over common people. The wealthy people who drive normal cars don't have much money. Their wealth doesn't span many generations, if any at all. They still don't buy cars. They lease them. They don't think they're good enough to not have to drive. These are people who are still connected to their local community and do commerce with them. They aren't tied into crooked global mafia dealings with companies that are worth trillions and have thousands of companies under them, like the super-wealthy. They want their wealth to do good and to support future generations. There are not really any ins-between.
+The Acanthus/Plinth Type I already outlined what old and new wealthy is. Are you some kind of idiot? The families that you listed as NOT being "old money" wealthy are in fact, the opposite of what you claim. Their wealth spans many generations. Between money and assets, their wealth is in the trillions. Also, money isn't everything. People like this have power. These families have no disappeared. These people are part of royal blood lines that span back millennia. Every president that gets elected can be traced back to King John of England (the exception being Martin van Buren). Just because their bank accounts aren't as huge as your opinion thinks it needs to be, these people own the world. You obviously have no idea where the people you claim aren't "old money" wealthy come from. Bill Gates is not the beginning of his dynasty. His ancestors may have not been filthy rich, but they had power. Donald Trump is wealthy. I don't care how he acts, or when his money was acquired. He is wealthy. You're not wealthy if you're not making any more of your own money, and you're just living off of your ancestors. And I don't know what a "maxed out" car is. A wealthy person does not drive a Ford, of ANY type. Go ahead thinking you're wealthy. You're probably the last generation of your bloodline that has any money. Wealthy has nothing to do with modesty. Just because someone drives a Ferrari, and the other person gets driven around in a Bentley, doesn't make the latter more wealthy. People have individual personalities, and are different. Being wealthy and doing nothing to make your own money means you come from a family that made a company that still pays you. An example would be the Du Pont family. John Du Pont was into wrastling and doing cocaine. This would be right in line with owning Ferraris. Yet they were wealthy, because their wealth continually came from their namesake's company. The Kennedy family is not wealthy. They have no continual source of money, they are almost extinct, and they have no more power. A person who wins the lottery is not wealthy because their money doesn't grow until they invest it. It has nothing to do with when they acquired their money. If they opened a company and it because one of the world's largest companies, and this all happened within a year, they would still be wealthy. I guess not in your eyes. But you can't really be objective about this.
+bath salt bandit Correct. A wealthy person does not drive a Ford Fusion. He is delusional. His ancestors were wealthy. He is not. He is living off of their accomplishments, and contributing nothing of his own to the last bits of wealth that exist.
+Tim Ramich Fun fact: It is physically possible for a wealthy person to drive a Ford. In fact, countless research institutes in my country have *failed* to refute that hypothesis. It's also been proven by Science on various occasion, and by me, who's experienced it indirectly. To be honest, I know a multi-millionaire who rides the public bus to work everyday. Where I live one can easily gain all of his lottery winnings within a year without paying taxes and investing in the money over the course of several years like in the U.S.A. In fact, a 54-year-old man decided to "collect" his earnings within one WEEK of winning. Of course, a dear example of non-wealthy is obviously Dan Bilzerian, who inherited $100 million dollars from his father, Paul Bilzerian. Anyway I remember once, I saw on the news the story of a family-business which started small, but ended with producing over $60,000,000 per year. Over the proceeding decades the descendants of that family began making around $4,000,000 per person. However, something truly remarkable occurred: the newest CEO incidentally decided that he'd drive a 2006 Toyota Prius as a daily vehicle and, his only luxury car would actually be a maxed-out Chevrolet Camaro. So you see, the Internet is home to frauds, and warnings; I am not a fraud, but I'm giving you a warning. No matter what you choose to believe in, remember this: Society has proven that wealthy ones are not just physically, but spiritually able to drive a Ford as well. You're welcome, stupid.
I had an 83 year old customer named Walter (who's wife was 29) and he had a 66 Ferrari with over 200,000 miles that he still drove 3 times a year from Seattle to Vegas.
Hilarious video!!! dude the parking part "between a Max and an old Lex" sitting there wondering "is she safe!?" lmao that is so me! and I'm driving a Veloster! :D
Brandon Nixon 80k more or less, but remember that it is almost a 20yr old car. With 80k you are close to buying a new BMW 750 Li. Another thing, some Ferraris do tend to appreciate in value....80k right now ,but maybe 100 or 120k in a year or two (e.g. a 2001 lambo. diablo was about 130k about 3yrs ago, going for like 300k right now).
*General rule:* If you buy a car you can *barely* afford, you will worry all the time and have a hard time maintaining it. You don't buy a Ferrari if you have 100k, you buy it if you have millions..and then 500$ are not even worth mentioning.
***** 500$ or a couple of grands should be far from expensive for a Ferrari owner.. unless he went out of his league and barely collected the money to buy it. heck, its even cheap if you compare Ferrari price/repair price vs average car price/average repair price.
I think this is the point he's making, if you use this as a daily driver, expect mega bills. Your comments is an excellent rule to follow. If you buy too far out of your budget all you'll do is worry about it and at that point, are you really enjoying that thing you saved for so hard?
***** The man is talking about depreciation due to millage and not having the tyre done at an Fcar dealer. That is simply ridiculous. It's a 360, not a 250. Drive it and enjoy it. If it gets a scratch, have it fixed and noone would care if it has a "non-oe" plug in the tyre. Come time to sell, have fresh tyres put on it at a shop that won't scratch your wheels, and balance them properly. Far from every Fcar owner has their tyres changed at their dealer, and often if they do, it won't be in the service history. He is simply creating faults that are not there. Heck, driven properly, a clutch can last between 25-35k miles.
Nearly anyone can afford a Ferrari. You can find them used for the same price as a brand new truck or most other "driver's" cars. Hell, I'm sure you can find them as cheap as a new commuter car.
[I so relate to this video...] While living in / spending time in Chicago... I have had too many restless dinners... and/or overnights at a girl friends... the horror of finding your car whacked or boxed in... I eventually refuse(d) to park on the street... always paid a premium... (respectfully - fearfully) I never ever double parked, always park the farthest out at the mall or store, in spite of this my car (a modest CLK550) took a shopping cart once, I will assume deliberate. I had people hock loogies on my windows, had someone throw a cup of coffee... I eventually bought a Jeep 4WD, to drive downtown and/or street park... Now living in the country, I worry about deer ~hitting me~ I cannot imagine the !!! very real strain of driving a Ferrari !!!
I use to hang out at the local Ferrari dealer here in Portland OR when they sold Ducatis there (I owned one then)....a doctor comes in driving an F40...the doc scrapes the crap out of the front air dam pulling in...I visibly cringe...the salesman who I hung out with sees me cringe and says to me..."Get this, that's his "daily driver" car, so that scraping doesn't matter to him"....THAT is how you daily drive a Ferrari...you buy one you don't give a crap about and use it as a daily driver...lol!
Walmart execs make a decent living. Wouldn't be surprised to see a Ferrari in a Walmart parking lot in Northwest Arkansas...although it would be double parked towards the back of the lot.
mathlover101hotmail Not cheaper than most new BMW. Maybe cheaper than a fully equipped top tier bmw. Although this ferrari is old, it's still about 60 grand.

buying a ferrari and complaining that it draws attention it's like buying a swimming pool and complaining that it's wet
Some of us by them for the driving experience and the attention is often an unwanted byproduct.
Mark Stewart yep but the point is you're already aware of that. You don't go "oh i never imagined this ferrari could draw so much attention". You want the driving experience without the attention go buy a BMW M3. part of the experience of driving a ferrari IS drawing attention.
A non M3 draws attention of petrolheads only. the average people won't notice the difference between an M3 and a common bmw 3serie while you can still enjoy the driving experience cause that things goes as fast as a ferrari 430.
Mark Stewart bullshit! You buy a Ferrari for attention . Besides only little small guys can fit in a Ferrari so it's a status thing . " look I'm a tiny man but I have a Ferrari so I have a big wallet " lol . Oh my gosh look at all the peasants staring at my big red wallet !lol .

He explained in one of his videos that the reason he doesn't do such videos on his personal cars anymore is because people gradually lose interest the more videos you make about your car.

HollatotheBalla Just for the hell of it.
+HollatotheBalla just walked up to my car today after getting out at walmart, saw this dumbass hit my car with her door and then just sit there with her door against mine as she gets out and her fat ass shakes her car, causing her door to rub up and down against mind. i walked up and unlocked my car and cleared my throat and the bitch just said "oh" and walked away
i hate people.
+HollatotheBalla My old Mercedes has an aluminum trim on the sides which looks cool but actually prevents door dings (unless a its a dude in a lifted truck).
+WALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOWALOW In my experience you don't even have to go to a store parking lot to have stuff like that happen, it even happens when you have residential reserved parking.
My parents' old car got reversed into 3 times (one time requiring a whole new door and some more body work) and the right hand side is full of dings from an asshole family with a parking spot on the right hand side of the car. However nobody has ever left a note even apologizing for the damage. The only time somebody has contacted my parents was when some stuck up bitch reversed into the car and tried to make a run for it before a neighbor stopped her and threatened to call the cops.
Short version of the story is that parking lots, wherever they are, always bring out the worst in people.
+tom11zz884 the funny thing is i used to have a 350Z and people hit my shit all the time with their doors. Then i traded it in for a Tundra. No one has ever even dinged it. I swear people are just assholes and do it on purpose to nice looking cars.

Teach a man how to fish and he can feed himself...that old saying is true....(I know it isn't verbatim and I don't care)...Know how to work on your own car and you can fix it yourself instead of paying someone else. Also some mechanics, not all, are not very honest about their work. The best person who will ALWAYS treat you right and well is yourself.
Think wisely people; don't look rich, BE RICH.
+Jia L. that's just it, if the average person won, say 50k the first thing that they would want to do is get a new car. when what they should be doing is investing it and turning it into 80k then 120k then 200k and so on. well, they get the car, and then there is an accident and they can't get another because of insurance problems.

Having a Ferrari has nothing to do with looking rich for some people. Lots of enthusiasts just love the cars.

Interesting. Never had an issue.

MrMidnightClubm50
There's really nothing wrong with the car. It's rock solid and reliable. I've even owned one before. But let's be honest...we're watching a video about a super car costing more than 5 times whatever a VW costs so to compare your worries about random people denting/scratching your 30 grand V-Dub to the worries of a Ferrari owner is silly really. Dents and scratches to a V-Dub can be fixed at a random body shop. The cost to fix a scratch/dent to a Ferrari will probably be the cost of an entire Golf looooooooool
I don't understand the hate on this video. He's covering the negatives that come from driving it on a practical level which is the interesting part! HE isn't actually complaining about driving a Ferrari, it's just very interesting info about it.

I had a brand new Miata. Once when parking it in a large chain supermarket parking lot, even though I parked well away from every car, a runaway grocery cart hit the side and left a big dent. I complained about it and was contacted by the companies attorney. He told me, if I took the company to court, I would lose because they are not responsible. However, he was a nice man, and maybe even sympathized with my dilemma. He suggested that I get it fixed and send the bill to the company telling them the story like I expected them to pay for it. Amazing, they did, and that was that.

guys, a lot of ferrari owners have their own mechanic. Its much better that way.
Damn this is one of the funniest video i have ever seen. Other car reviewer don't do 'fun' things. Only Doug does which makes it even better to watch.
As someone who's been daily-driving MR2s, Fieros, an Elise, various Zs, and a CRX for the past 15 years, the only thing with any real merit here is the price issue. Even my Elise lost a lot of value at only 47k miles. But I buy sports cars to drive them, so I go in with the mentality that it's going to depreciate, not sit on a shelf as a collector's item. At which point it's just an issue of whether a given person can afford to do that with a given car.
Yes, sports cars don't have as many seats as a double-decker bus. But that only matters if you have more than one passenger. Obviously, a two-seater isn't good for a family of eight. But it's fine for one or two people.
One you didn't mention: sports cars have limited trunk / frunk space. But there's plenty of room for groceries. My MR2 Spyder (third gen) had far less room than a 360 Spider, but I never had real issues by myself. (Different story when a date and I discovered we had to crush the corners of the pizza box to make it fit in the frunk.) And I've gone camping with two people in both Fieros and (second gen) MR2s.
And even my mom's Outback doesn't fit eight 12-foot sheets of sheetrock in the back. Sometimes you just have to borrow or rent something bigger; that's life.
Yes, parking the car in a random location is risky. The only difference here is in the cost of that risk versus the cost with a $500 Honda. Which goes back to, "can you afford a Ferrari?" not "can you drive it daily?"
There's also the difference that most places I ever went had parking lots and/or garages nearby, so I rarely had to park street-side anywhere, making this a situational issue.
Yes, dealerships are expensive. No, you don't actually have to use them. It's just a matter of how much you care about resale value versus saving money now (and how much you trust the random shop versus the dealership), which again ultimately comes down to "can you afford a Ferrari?"
Yes, putting miles on the car costs money. The important aspect you didn't cover here is the historically enormous relative costs of maintaining supercars versus a Camry. In the 38k miles I drove my Elise, a Gallardo would have needed three to four clutches, each costing about $10k. That's as much in clutches as my entire car cost. Again, this boils down to affordability, not whether you can drive it daily. Ditto for insurance costs.
Yes, the attention can get annoying. Especially since 99% of it comes from middle-aged and older dudes. But you get used to it and learn when to have fun with it and when to say "sorry, in a hurry, have a nice day!" (Unless you're into older dudes, in which case it's probably a bonus.)
Yes, sports cars are bumpier than my mom's Outback . But I still feel more comfortable in my MR2 because I like the road feel and the control.
its a rich mans toy, not an everyday driver. i feel like most people know this.
what if you're not the typical person and doesn't give a shit and actually drives it more then once a month
Not to mention.. do you really want to have the stress of always worrying about it? Will someone scratch it, or ram a shopping cart into it, etc.
agree you need to be able to afford it without insurance in order to buy it then you can most definitely drive it everyday and not even care where you park it and whatever.
George Tsougkrakis I think a car lover would probably still worry about it.
It's a $60k car. That's in no way a prohibitively expensive car, nor an investment. So why care about resale? Enjoy it.
I completely disagree with most of Mr. DeMuros points. I regularly drive and have daily driven my MUCH older Ferrari 308 QV. It draws a lot of attention - yeah, but I expect that. Services are costly, especially at a Ferrari dealership, however, when I got a screw in my tire I took it right the local tire place and it cost me less than $20. I drive it for ME, not for the resale value. I park at WalMart or the grocery store and have learned to NOT worry about little scratches and such. People LOVE the car and generally respect it for what it is. As James Glickenhaus said - not driving your Ferrari is like not having sex with your girlfriend so that she will be better for her next boyfriend.
Next boyfriend, I thought it wasn't for sale "Thomas Magnum".
Minr is not and will not be up for sale...as I said above, I bought it for me and drive the crap out of it!!!
Patrick Gray Well that analogy really doesn't apply.
But Mr. DeMuro seemed extremely worried about resale value in his video which does make my analogy apply. That is what I was referencing... If he doesnt want to drive a Ferrari every day because he is worried about the resale value, then maybe he shouldnt own a Ferrari.
Patrick Gray Thanks for clarifying,

I thought the whole time. When you are worrying so much about your car, you are certanly not rich enough to own a ferrari.

Marvin Becker any rich guy would still have to take the time to fix it
Marvin Becker
The point is not to intentionally make bad financial decisions. The point is that the financially responsible thing to is to be in a comfortable/secure enough financial position that IF you suddenly and completely lost the car then it wouldn't significantly affect you at all. It's like investing/gambling. You should be well enough off to lose double what you're currently investing/gambling and still be fine. It's NOT that you plan to lose money. It's being responsible enough to be in a good enough financial position to be able to take those bumps/risks/loses from the start, which is the smart/responsible thing to do, if possible.
But who gives a fuck about maintenance costs when they already bought such an expensive car? ...
***** All cars aren't unobtainable expensive per-say unless we're talking Hyper cars. Maserati's and Aston Martins can be bought for 50-60K. I dnt know where ur looking but I cnt find one Ferrari (unless it's 100yrs old) for under 90K
e314ds Ebay wow stop lol I'm sure ur getting real quality there. A Ferrari with 100K miles that will more than likely explode once u go around the block. Dude u can buy C5's Vettes at that price. Lets not be ignorant ;)
e314ds Dude no need to be so condescending. But you are right you can get Ferrari's for under 70k.
Guy Random
Definitely a good point. So far this year I've probably spent about 2k on my F430 on maintenance (and another 2.5k on insurance) and will likely spend another 8k by having capristo headers installed. You just have to accept that an expensive car comes with a premium when it comes to parts and labor. Regular mantenance (oil, brake flush, radiator fluid) comes like at 1k a year, so that is not bad. 15k maintenance might be a little more expensive, but if you are a DIYer and feel bold, you might be able to buy the spark plugs for 30 bucks a pop and do the job yourself and save some cash in the process.
It's less than 100k and its like 10 years old
Doug: takes Ferrari to probably show off
Screw in tire: Screw You!
Great video, but Doug glossed over the fact that not only do you get attention, you have to know everything about the car. Year, model, engine size, piston firing pattern... some people know more about your car than you do and are upset at you for not knowing.
lol if you can afford a ferrari then gas and regular maintenance shouldn't be a financial issue in the first place. btw the 1st part was stupid, those girls being all upset, yeah right its a ferrari!!! i would gladly sit on my friends lap no problem, the only true part about this video is the constant "is someone gonna hit my car" thoughts when you park somewhere, oh and the non-stop attention from pedestrians part is what you get when you buy a super car like a ferrari, love it or hate it either way get used to it lol.
I think with regards to attention he is separating Ferrari customers into two distinct camps - those that buy the car for the symbol/name brand prestige and those who buy the car for the PERFORMANCE. I quite honestly consider my 911 turbo S to be a super car (it is around the $200k mark after all, with performance that dwarfs a 360) but the car only receives looks and generates excitement among car enthusiasts. If someone approaches me to ask about my car, they are much more likely to talk to me about the car's performance figures than questions like how much I paid for the car or what I do/did for a living. 99% of people have no idea what a turbo S is or that it is any different from a normal Porsche 911.
Additionally, maintenance should always be considered an issue - why would I buy a car I will have to pay $15k a year to maintain on top of a large price point when I can pay the same amount for a more reliable one? People who you consider wealthy don't become so by being careless with their money, they become so through hard work and dedication (for the most part).
Thanks for your time.
Just for the record, a modena like that is worth ~70k
So yea, gas and regular maintenance is considerable
Gator Guy I would surely get more impressed by a turbo S on the street than a... 360
TwskiTV You are different than the average driver and may know a thing or two about cars... read the comment in its entirety one more time. Thanks for the contribution.

And the big irony is- If you don't drive your Ferrari every day, the seals get dry. Then when the owner wants to have fun and jumps into it to have a fling and leans on it, something leaks, and/or something breaks. They must be driven daily for at least a few miles.

I used to be a chauffeur and got to drive lots of great cars, but one weekend I was expected to drive a 458 and stay in London for 2 nights and 3 days. No one tells you how bloody wide they are. There was only one car park that I could physically get the car in on Mayfair just up the road from the Dorchester but I didn't buy an overnight ticket in advance so I couldn't leave it there. I couldn't park it on the road because I was a coward even if I could physically do it. 2011 model had no sensors, so I ended up driving out of London and sleeping IN the car at the service station at Junction 1 of the M1. I got to my hotel for just 50 minutes to shower and change once. I never, ever wanted to drive one ever again.
Well, that shoots the shit out of my having to drive my mama's minivan! ;)
Robin Addis-Vaughn It was when I was helping a friend when both his parents got cancer and he had to nurse them. First his mother, then his father. His mother died relatively quickly, though it was horrific but his father lingered for ages. The chauffeuring was easy brainless work. The fun part was I often got to take the cars home.
ali Servan I'm sorry for your friend's loss. An awful reason to get a sweet gig though! Which was the coolest to drive? An attorney friend of mine, he's probably the best attorney I've ever met, he comes across as this county lawyer, exaggerates the accent when in other states, and boy are they shocked when he goes for the kill and gets it. He's very generous to his staff as well. He loaned his brand new Corvette out to the receptionist to use her entire birthday weekend. I gave him hell about it, he tossed me the keys, I didn't even work for him, this was while I was Clerk of Court. I caught them, but I couldn't drive it because it was stick shift, so he took me for a fast ride! But, the sweetest thing he did was help his paralegal. She was like me, had a natural ability to understand the law but she had a small child and couldn't afford it. She got into law school, her parents helped take care of her child, she got loans and when she graduated, she had a job waiting for her. I'm sure he helped her with expenses but not expecting anything in return, except a great lawyer. He answered his own phone sometimes if they were busy and as long as it wasn't his case, and you needed a quick answer, he never hesitated with the answer. Very cool guy!
Robin Addis-Vaughn He sounds awesome! To be honest most of the cars I drove were a bit of a disappointment. The only exec car I loved was the Mercedes S class and the Maybach, but 7 Series BMW gave me back ache and the Bentley Flying Spur was fast (had it up to 177 mph) but the driving position was awful. I kept bumping my head and I'm only 5'7"! Of the supercars the Lamborghini had no working windows and no aircon so was like sitting in a microwave, the ferraris are just too wide for UK roads, I drove a Noble which was very cool but scary. The only car I was blown away by and ended up really REALLY wanting was an Aston Martin DB9. It was a nice job and every single client was really lovely. Not one douchebag :D
ali Servan you drove James Bond's car!!! Holy fucking shit!! Pictures? Pretty please!!! With sugar on top!
1:30 lol I have Jetta and do that, I don't want to imagine how hard must be with a Ferrari
Thanks man that was a good idea and advice
Wtf, limited miles a year insurance??? USA is getting crazyer every day..
it's the collectors car insurance that he has so he can't drive it that much
If you can actually afford to buy a car like this, you can usually insure yourself by giving the state collateral in the form of cash.
+[̲̅G̲̅][̲̅A̲̅][̲̅M̲̅][̲̅E̲̅][̲̅S̲̅] [̲̅&̲̅] [̲̅M̲̅][̲̅O̲̅][̲̅R̲̅][̲̅E̲̅] I actually like the idea of tying your miles/kilometers to your insurance payments.
+infiltr80r -In a sense, insurance companies already do. The more miles that you report per year increases the likelihood of incidences, thus raising your rates.
Rick Perry
Wow, completely different in Europe then. I have never reported miles/km in any form and the payments are only related to my age, accident record and engine power...and possibly to how long I've had the license.
Sucks for me as I barely drove.
I have an 09 F430. Dont even think about the miles, enjoy the darn thing...we only live once!
YES!
***** Please tell me how you afford one, I'd like to own one someday! (no sarcasm in that comment by the way)

***** Thank you.
What do you do? Can you tell me up here, business owner?
Fantastic video👍
Most of these are merely problems for people who own a Ferrari who in reality don't afford to own a Ferrari.
Yep that's why I'll never get one, just let Doug get em and tell us about it.
Picking up 2 girls? What a player ha
And he hid the better looking one underneath!
MazDanRX795 if you wanna see more of her, her name is Britt, she is in the "teaching my friend how to drive a manual" i think thats the video
It really is His Friend and her friend, Doug is gay. He has mentioned it in like 3 separate videos that he's gay
And even in a ferrari
Yeah I bet Doug gets all the babes... with a Ferrari or even a Toyota Camry.
Elon Musk daily drove his Mclaren F1 until he crashed it.
MVrockersPS3 AND he had no insurance
Lol he was too cheap to insure it
Mr.Bean also drove his F1 more or less daily, then crashed it while he was trying to sell it, lol
MVrockersPS3 who the fuck cares about Mlon Fusk
@@automan224 people that make money
If you have to think about what each trip costs in terms of $'s, owning a Ferrari is too expensive for you
I have been driving mine every day for 20 years. Its got scratches , worn seats, dog saliva on the windows etc...It has 205k on the clock and I take it to my local mechanic who loves having it in his workshop because he loves it and so do his customers. He charges me proper rates. Steer clear of Ferrari dealers. To my kids and grandkids I am a legend to all their mates. One day I will sell it for more than I bought it. Stick to your Honda Doug and don't worry about it too much, its a car and you can repair scratches.
2:05 is your door open??
+Skinny Animus Wow, nice catch! I can't imagine it is though.... right? Who wouldn't notice that?!?!
+Skinny Animus It was. You can hear him close it in the next shot.
+Skinny Animus Maybe he couldnt find the switch for the interior light so he held the door open a bit.
+MrBeard17 lol!, could be!.
+Skinny Animus I cannot unsee this stupidness, LOL!
If you have a Ferrari you should have enough money to overcome the worries
That is a ferrari 360 modena. Those models are less then 100k.
Perhaps it's not so much about the worries, rather it's the hassles
nelson verdugo that’s a broke person’s mentality. Rich people are rich because they don’t think like that lol.
Paying outright for a supercar is so dumb, if you can afford to buy it finance the car and invest the money else where unless your buying something ultra rare and sought after, that £200-£300k you drop on a Lamborghini or Ferrari you won't be selling that for that money
@@Pain-ju1ih Thank you for the Valuable information.
Hey Doug I'm a little late to the party on this one, but I work for a valet team that deals with Super and Hyper cars very often!! There are many options you have with us. Like being able to front park you expensive car yourself and take the keys if you aren't trusting. This does happen. Also, when we are handed the keys only the most well experienced will touch your car, and of course we take extreme precaution to make sure your car is well handled. We don't want to lose our jobs ya know lol.
@Adam Rx only one of the two of those is correct. You choose which one xD
@Adam Rx thanks xD if you're ever at the Boca Resort ask for Trey and ill take care of ya ;)
I used to have a badass classic 1973 Camaro. It had 650 hp and a $6000 paint job. I know it's not comparable to a Ferrari, but it was something that everyone who saw it loved it and I got offers for it every day. Basically a super fast show car. It was my daily driver for a little over a year, and while it was really cool at first, you pretty quickly realize that it's not ideal to drive something like that on a daily basis, that and the fact that even the coolest car in the world gets to seem pretty hum drum plain with enough time behind the wheel. When you use it every day it loses something. It somehow seems less special to you, and in my opinion that's the highest cost of all about using something like that every day.
musta been an automatic.
2:25 Is the Door Open????
Right wtf?
It's an optical illusion due to the light.
@@ritvikgiridharan2845 no its swinging all around over the bumps..
Probably because he is using the dome light since he is shooting video at night...
i guess it's the only way for the light.
Personally, if I could afford to buy a car like this in the first place, everything you addressed I would not be concerned about.
+The Acanthus/Plinth Type People who come from long blood lines of money just about consider themselves royalty, and such cars would be considered "low." They do spend huge money on cars. Cars that they pay people to drive so they can ride around in the back seat of them. Just not sports cars like these. I don't think anyone considers any car an investment.
+The Acanthus/Plinth Type What's wealthy and what's rich? You seem to think there's a difference between the two. You talked about "old money," art, real estate, and other sort of investments. Families like that are bloodlines of wealth, and are not just a little wealthy, they're super-wealthy. Those types of people consider them above everyone else, and they buy expensive cars that they use as taxis. Oh, and art to them is not an investment. It's just another thing to own so they can feel superiour to everyone else. All they crave is power over common people.
The wealthy people who drive normal cars don't have much money. Their wealth doesn't span many generations, if any at all. They still don't buy cars. They lease them. They don't think they're good enough to not have to drive. These are people who are still connected to their local community and do commerce with them. They aren't tied into crooked global mafia dealings with companies that are worth trillions and have thousands of companies under them, like the super-wealthy. They want their wealth to do good and to support future generations.
There are not really any ins-between.
+The Acanthus/Plinth Type I already outlined what old and new wealthy is. Are you some kind of idiot?
The families that you listed as NOT being "old money" wealthy are in fact, the opposite of what you claim. Their wealth spans many generations. Between money and assets, their wealth is in the trillions. Also, money isn't everything. People like this have power. These families have no disappeared. These people are part of royal blood lines that span back millennia. Every president that gets elected can be traced back to King John of England (the exception being Martin van Buren). Just because their bank accounts aren't as huge as your opinion thinks it needs to be, these people own the world.
You obviously have no idea where the people you claim aren't "old money" wealthy come from. Bill Gates is not the beginning of his dynasty. His ancestors may have not been filthy rich, but they had power.
Donald Trump is wealthy. I don't care how he acts, or when his money was acquired. He is wealthy.
You're not wealthy if you're not making any more of your own money, and you're just living off of your ancestors. And I don't know what a "maxed out" car is. A wealthy person does not drive a Ford, of ANY type. Go ahead thinking you're wealthy. You're probably the last generation of your bloodline that has any money.
Wealthy has nothing to do with modesty. Just because someone drives a Ferrari, and the other person gets driven around in a Bentley, doesn't make the latter more wealthy. People have individual personalities, and are different.
Being wealthy and doing nothing to make your own money means you come from a family that made a company that still pays you. An example would be the Du Pont family. John Du Pont was into wrastling and doing cocaine. This would be right in line with owning Ferraris. Yet they were wealthy, because their wealth continually came from their namesake's company.
The Kennedy family is not wealthy. They have no continual source of money, they are almost extinct, and they have no more power.
A person who wins the lottery is not wealthy because their money doesn't grow until they invest it. It has nothing to do with when they acquired their money. If they opened a company and it because one of the world's largest companies, and this all happened within a year, they would still be wealthy. I guess not in your eyes. But you can't really be objective about this.
+bath salt bandit Correct. A wealthy person does not drive a Ford Fusion. He is delusional. His ancestors were wealthy. He is not. He is living off of their accomplishments, and contributing nothing of his own to the last bits of wealth that exist.
+Tim Ramich Fun fact: It is physically possible for a wealthy person to drive a Ford. In fact, countless research institutes in my country have *failed* to refute that hypothesis. It's also been proven by Science on various occasion, and by me, who's experienced it indirectly. To be honest, I know a multi-millionaire who rides the public bus to work everyday.
Where I live one can easily gain all of his lottery winnings within a year without paying taxes and investing in the money over the course of several years like in the U.S.A. In fact, a 54-year-old man decided to "collect" his earnings within one WEEK of winning.
Of course, a dear example of non-wealthy is obviously Dan Bilzerian, who inherited $100 million dollars from his father, Paul Bilzerian.
Anyway I remember once, I saw on the news the story of a family-business which started small, but ended with producing over $60,000,000 per year. Over the proceeding decades the descendants of that family began making around $4,000,000 per person. However, something truly remarkable occurred: the newest CEO incidentally decided that he'd drive a 2006 Toyota Prius as a daily vehicle and, his only luxury car would actually be a maxed-out Chevrolet Camaro.
So you see, the Internet is home to frauds, and warnings; I am not a fraud, but I'm giving you a warning. No matter what you choose to believe in, remember this: Society has proven that wealthy ones are not just physically, but spiritually able to drive a Ford as well.
You're welcome, stupid.
I had an 83 year old customer named Walter (who's wife was 29) and he had a 66 Ferrari with over 200,000 miles that he still drove 3 times a year from Seattle to Vegas.
Hilarious video!!! dude the parking part "between a Max and an old Lex" sitting there wondering "is she safe!?" lmao that is so me! and I'm driving a Veloster! :D
You guys know thats like a $80,000 car!
Brandon Nixon 424,000$
TehEpikDukzGaming www.carsforsale.com/vehicle/details/8209403
yeah $424,00 sure
Brandon Nixon 80k more or less, but remember that it is almost a 20yr old car. With 80k you are close to buying a new BMW 750 Li. Another thing, some Ferraris do tend to appreciate in value....80k right now ,but maybe 100 or 120k in a year or two (e.g. a 2001 lambo. diablo was about 130k about 3yrs ago, going for like 300k right now).
Not even close, average price is like 120k
***** The f430 is but his is a 360 which is 80-100k
*General rule:* If you buy a car you can *barely* afford, you will worry all the time and have a hard time maintaining it.
You don't buy a Ferrari if you have 100k, you buy it if you have millions..and then 500$ are not even worth mentioning.
***** 500$ or a couple of grands should be far from expensive for a Ferrari owner.. unless he went out of his league and barely collected the money to buy it.
heck, its even cheap if you compare Ferrari price/repair price vs average car price/average repair price.
I think this is the point he's making, if you use this as a daily driver, expect mega bills. Your comments is an excellent rule to follow. If you buy too far out of your budget all you'll do is worry about it and at that point, are you really enjoying that thing you saved for so hard?
***** The man is talking about depreciation due to millage and not having the tyre done at an Fcar dealer. That is simply ridiculous. It's a 360, not a 250. Drive it and enjoy it. If it gets a scratch, have it fixed and noone would care if it has a "non-oe" plug in the tyre. Come time to sell, have fresh tyres put on it at a shop that won't scratch your wheels, and balance them properly. Far from every Fcar owner has their tyres changed at their dealer, and often if they do, it won't be in the service history. He is simply creating faults that are not there. Heck, driven properly, a clutch can last between 25-35k miles.
Nearly anyone can afford a Ferrari. You can find them used for the same price as a brand new truck or most other "driver's" cars. Hell, I'm sure you can find them as cheap as a new commuter car.
nemanja milosevic you can buy a used 360 for dirt cheap, considering what a brand new 458 goes for. a brand new CLS550 cost more than a 360.
UA-cam just decided to bring me this early version of Doug in 2023 and it's just what I wanted.
Thanks, does this apply as much when you buy used (pre loved)?
As much as those things “suck”, I still would if I could 😂😭
Devex your Robux and you should be able to afford one
Can't you? I thought youtube+robux would get you that 200k.
Linkmon99 That’s What makes roblox sooo good. Devex.
Trust me they are NOT every day cars
WTH
Go to Monaco, if you wanna blend in.
Doug the type of guy who buys a Ferrari as his daily and shops at Wal-Mart for all his automotive needs.
[I so relate to this video...] While living in / spending time in Chicago... I have had too many restless dinners... and/or overnights at a girl friends... the horror of finding your car whacked or boxed in... I eventually refuse(d) to park on the street... always paid a premium... (respectfully - fearfully) I never ever double parked, always park the farthest out at the mall or store, in spite of this my car (a modest CLK550) took a shopping cart once, I will assume deliberate. I had people hock loogies on my windows, had someone throw a cup of coffee... I eventually bought a Jeep 4WD, to drive downtown and/or street park... Now living in the country, I worry about deer ~hitting me~ I cannot imagine the !!! very real strain of driving a Ferrari !!!
I love that "clicking " sound when you're shifting, my uncle had the GTS(like Magnum P.I.) and it had that sound
4:52 370z spotted. shouldve raced him
a much better looking car
ivanoff4o it isn't
+ivanoff4o 370z is so fucking ugly lmao.
Wasn't sure if it was a 350z or a 370z... guess it was a 370z
4:55
2:26: look over Doug's shoulder, and you can see that he's driving with the door slightly opened
I use to hang out at the local Ferrari dealer here in Portland OR when they sold Ducatis there (I owned one then)....a doctor comes in driving an F40...the doc scrapes the crap out of the front air dam pulling in...I visibly cringe...the salesman who I hung out with sees me cringe and says to me..."Get this, that's his "daily driver" car, so that scraping doesn't matter to him"....THAT is how you daily drive a Ferrari...you buy one you don't give a crap about and use it as a daily driver...lol!
that 350z at 4:52 :O
+PIERClNG It's a 370Z with the same body/wheel color scheme as mine. I shouted at my monitor when I saw it.
+Purplefrsh looks so good
+Purplefrsh nice life story.
+PIERClNG In my opinion , better choice than a Ferrari
+Christopher Colaço yessss
Good video, but come on, a Ferrari owner shopping at Wal Mart?
Walmart execs make a decent living. Wouldn't be surprised to see a Ferrari in a Walmart parking lot in Northwest Arkansas...although it would be double parked towards the back of the lot.
Matt Garrett
Hmmmm
You do realize this is a CHEAP ferrari. It is cheaper than a most new BMWs
mathlover101hotmail Not cheaper than most new BMW. Maybe cheaper than a fully equipped top tier bmw. Although this ferrari is old, it's still about 60 grand.
palonazo 60 grand is cheaper than most new BMWs. 60 grand is not much in the car realm. I spent many times that on my garage queen.
Here in Mexico it costs over 3 bucks to patch a tire
5 if you leave a tip lol
Can someone explain to me why one would be limited to 6,000 km per year? Who can tell you how much you are allowed to drive?
