DOUG! Always a bright spot to take a VINWiki break on a busy day. That bright spot goes supernova when it's Doug's smiling face after the intro music. Great story, keep up the great work!
The worst ferrari I have ever seen was, in fact, an MR2 faker. The owner spent 10 minutes arguing it was a 355 until I pointed out the tiny Toyota sticker in the rear window.
Taller people are more likely to be perceived as having RBF, because when you look up at someone from below you're more likely to look like you're frowning. You can help that a bit by tipping your chin down.
I’m 6’5” and I’ve been accused my entire life as being upset. I’m so care free and relaxed most of the time. I just haven’t ever figured out why until now. Funny part, I wasn’t upset until I was accused of it. Now I’m pissed.
One of the bands I'm in played a car show at a retirement community near Medina, OH, last summer. During our break I wandered around. The car that really stood out was a red vintage Ferrari. Now, I don't know Ferraris, but from a distance it looked pretty sharp, and I know good examples are unbelievably expensive. I thought this was kind of a weird spot for such a car to be shown, but who knows, maybe the owner has had it a long, long time and it's got a ton of miles or it's in poor condition and not worth that much. Up close the car looked okay, but the interior was super ratty, and didn't look like I thought it might. It really looked more homemade than handmade. I found out later it's a kit car, not an actual Ferrari. Doug lives in this region of Ohio, and he probably knows the car I'm talking about. At least it looked good on the outside!
The way the story was headed actually didn't surprise me. I attended an event last year to go over official Ferrari judging criteria and was shocked at how lax it is, compared to what I am used to in the muscle car world, especially the Mopar muscle cars. I have a 2012 458 Italia which is heavily optioned and I am the second owner. It's an amazing car, but has some flaws. That said a friend of mine who is a certified judge told me if I were to show it at a concours event, I could win with my car, and I was surprised by that due to what issues I know it has. But I am looking at it through the lens of Mopar muscle judging and not Ferrari judging. The twist at the end of this story does make this a hilarious story!
That’s definitely my favorite Doug story so far. I would have loved to have been there to see all the reactions to the “best restored 408”. I would have probably laughed to hard I would have had an aneurism!
Honestly love all Ferraris but it will most likely be a newer model that’s a hydbrid or all electric with screens and no buttons. Electric cars lack a soul.
Have to say best customer service I've ever had was from a Ferrari dealer when I wrecked my Maserati...... they must of called me 6 times asking if I needed anything.....
Haha thats hilarious! Also is it just me or is that F355 at 13:29 just gorgeous?! Am I the only one that loves these? F355 and 550M are some of my favorites. Had the poster of the yellow F355 on my wall in elementary/middle school that I bought from the Scholastic Book Fair at school. 355s are beautiful to me. Specifically the coupes.
I’ve a 1988 Mondial 3.2 QV Coupe & love it! It’s my 7th Ferrari since 1984 & I bought it as many are chosen for Historic Racing, which suggests they handle well! The 3.2 engine is well proven and my car is going well at over 75k miles. It has a manual shift & ABS brakes, plus lots of space for touring luggage. I had the Mondial 3.4t before but the chassis flexes with its engine out subframe for servicing. The 3.2 with a stiffer chassis is much better. I really have no desire to change from my Mondial which has increased in value too. Ferrari don’t make poor cars!
It's SCHENLEY park, not Henley. And it's not Downtown, it's in the Oakland neighborhood, home of the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Melon University, and Carlow College.
@@oriqnL I literally worked this event for the first 38 years. It's absolutely not considered "downtown" by anyone I've ever known, and I've lived here my whole life.
@@oriqnL "Downtown" is the area from the Point to the Strip in the North, the Point to the Liberty Bridge in the South, and bordered by Crawford-Roberts in the center. Oakland is not "downtown" it's Oakland. if you were to get in a cab and say "I want to go downtown" they aren't taking you to Oakland. Learn local geography, "bud."
@@Not_Ferrari still yapping i see. oakland is 3 mins away from the center of downtown bud its considered downtown if it wasnt the university of pittsburgh wouldnt be located there now pipe down
But they aren't objectively terrible cars. The Mondial and the Dino are pretty bad in lots of measurable ways. The 400i I have a soft spot for even though it was designed with only a ruler
Understandable, but the California for me was always beautiful. It's actually one of my favourites despite being snubbed by enthusiasts. There's a wonderful simplicity about it.
The older I get the less supercars interest me. I'm just going to buy a c5 or c6 vette and drive 100,000 plus miles, on top of whatever miles it already has, with minimal troubles. I don't care about impressing anyone or getting chicks. I don't care about parties or social events. I don't care about resale dollar amounts while purposefully ignoring inflation. I just want a fun car that doesn't need 3 engine out services before it hits 40,000 miles. As I'm typing this, the prick talking makes fun of corvette owners. I'm not sure the ego of most of the presenters on this channel is for me. I know I know, it's not an airport, I don't need to announce my departure. I've worked too long at the bottom to suffer rich stuck up jackasses.
Yeeesh... sounds like someone got some pent up emotions. In all seriousness, if exotics aren't for you, then I hope you do find a sense of joy in whatever you're pursuing.
Buy a Ferrari. That’s what you really want! When you have one you’ll realise that the owners are just as nice as you are! We love Corvettes too, & any drivers car! I’ve had 7 old manual shift Ferrari’s over 40 years and they’ve each been just fine. None has let me down and I just like how they drive. My 1988 Mondial 3.2QV coupe has 75k on her now and still pulled an easy 140mph + on a trackday last September. It was an inexpensive buy in 2019 and has been no trouble. When driving your Ferrari take a look at the Prancing- horse in the centre of the steering-wheel, it’s a good feeling!
I bought my first Porsche when I was young, thinking “Eh, I’ll get it out of my system instead of becoming one of those old guys that putters around in a sports car.” I’ve owned multiple sports cars and motorcycles, done track days and driving schools. Now I’m 60 and sort of sad to say… it worked. I still like something fast, but now I lean towards AMG or ///M sedans or SUVs (caused I’m scared to get a Stelvio Quadrifoglio).
Unless you're going to a track every weekend, where can you use all that power? I'd rather have something cheap like a Miata that I can use to its full potential on a back road and still be within legal limits. Corvettes are bargains and reliable as a truck.
God, I hate this man. I have no rational reason why but it's just an emotional response I get when he starts with his little persona. Edit: after watching a bit longer and hearing the bit about the bus and the liquor store I realized his vibe - douchey youth pastor!
Doug - "I actually protested your award." David - "I would have too!" That was gold!
That's one of the best stories ever.
"OH but it is..." lmfao
Schenley park is a fun place. Whether it’s vintage cars or evening speed runs on two wheels , always interesting times.
*Schenley park, come to PIRC if you want actual vintage racing, and tell the guy that mislabeled a 599 GTO to figure his stuff out

WTF is RBF
Resting beach face lol
Look it up.
I think he means resting female dog face.

Great story Doug! You have me laughing.
You're my top 3 Vinwiki guests.. I've been catching Switchcars as much as I can.. I enjoy it🤘🏻

This story is an example of while we don’t know each other well… you are one of my favorite cannonball friends.
Thanks bud!
Hope everyone has a great week!
As a 308gt4 owner I love this!!!! Yes many of them are horrible. There are a really couple good ones. I love unloved cars.
Unloved today maybe. I bought a “mid year” 1976 911s Targa, back when it was fully unloved…. Things change.
I too have RBF. Knowing is half the battle…. 😂

Its Schenely Park in Pittsburgh
the worst part of ferrari is the owners
couldn't agree more mister cheese
So buy one and help fix the culture.
That is debatable. The dealers are real slimeballs as well.
I say the same about Lamborghini owners.
Easy to say when you can’t afford one
That’s definitely my favorite Doug story so far. I would have loved to have been there to see all the reactions to the “best restored 408”. I would have probably laughed to hard I would have had an aneurism!
The worst Ferrari, usually, is someone else's !
Great story!!! Thanks for sharing with us Doug.
I'm sometimes questions the pictures you put up on screen.. like why the bmw at 6 minute mark?
A valuable life lesson in, "Keep your stupid mouth shut."
Also, maybe I missed it, but no picture of the car during the slideshow?
Still amusing,
3:49 every corvette is a one of one to it’s owner
What's RBF? did i miss where that was explained?
I'm not sure if an attractive bubbly female is a good control case when testing if RBF causes a lack of server interaction.
What is “RBF”?!?

Can't click on Doug story fast enough
Doug has a great tale to tell yet again!
Why is there a plaque on that muffler?
What is your pick for the WORST Ferrari ever made?
Honestly love all Ferraris but it will most likely be a newer model that’s a hydbrid or all electric with screens and no buttons. Electric cars lack a soul.
The SF90 with no luggage compartment reduces its usability, unless it has only solo occupancy always!
356 GTC4 aka "The Clown Car".
The Chrysler TC by Ferrari
The 308 2+2 is a strong candidate, but the 365/400/400i can’t be topped.
Have to say best customer service I've ever had was from a Ferrari dealer when I wrecked my Maserati...... they must of called me 6 times asking if I needed anything.....
at least the awards committee didn't double down on their mistake.
lol, who needs enemies when have friends like you..😂
I saw Doug early one morning at the PVGP. Wish I would’ve said hello.
The more I listen to WHAT Doug is saying rather than HOW he says it, I like him a lot more.
I laughed so hard. Doug was trying so hard to hype the car up but then just caved and called it a turd. 😂.
Very cool story Doug.
perfect caught it in the first 5 minutes lol
Just proves that looks and performance are NOT the same thing.
Doug is the best !
Haha thats hilarious!

No, the F355 in yellow is absolutely gorgeous. It's the 90s Ferrari I drooled over as a teenager.
Not just you, yellow 355 was my dream car, I still have the poster!
One of the best stories
When is the next Car Trek?
Mondial by far the worst i have driven
I’ve a 1988 Mondial 3.2 QV Coupe & love it! It’s my 7th Ferrari since 1984 & I bought it as many are chosen for Historic Racing, which suggests they handle well!

When you say funest so you mean evil or a good time?
Maybe not RBF.
Might be RDF.
This is not the worst Ferrari...the mondial...the 400i the 308 GT4 the 348
What the hell is RBF
resting B Face. You can work out what the B is
one of the "funnest" things i've ever done. ugh
Shenley park
Hi Doug 👋🏼
I see why nobody likes him,it's not "R.B.F" he's just a hater!!! What kind of "friend" protests their friends win?!?!?!
I have the same tone....lol
Public service announcement. RBF is not a thing. The original video was Bitchy Resting Face. --- BRF. Look it up.
Ask jay leno
Need to stop bringing this smarmy dude on your show.
the Ferrari California OR the Ferrari 456 are easily the worst looking Ferrari's to me
I love both tbh. Manual 456s are underrated.
California owner here, and while she may not be the most beautiful Ferrari ever, she's fun to drive and that engine sound🤌🎵
@@CartierCasey Nice. Are there any Ferrari Models you aren’t particularly fond of?
But they aren't objectively terrible cars. The Mondial and the Dino are pretty bad in lots of measurable ways. The 400i I have a soft spot for even though it was designed with only a ruler
