Ah, but if you want to drive it, you'll first have to get into the car. Ferraris aren't the easiest cars to break into.

I would just sell the thing for parts. 8)

you realise that the height of the garagge is taller than an Hummer H2, because they also need to park , and the garagges are made in that way that a tow truck can fit in it, in case , some cars arent able to get out because of technical difficulties...so just rent a little GMC tow truck, to get the car out of the garagge, and in to a 18 wheeler, and of you go to mexico, and change the registration of the car and engine codes and other crap.....

you cant get more safer/cheapper than that

Yes, that would get you into the car, which is a start, but Ferraris are not the easiest cars to hot wire. And you'll have a broken window to deal with.

Sure you can. Just put a rope on the rearbumper, if you're lucky the owner left the handbrake off, and you can just tow it with you :')

Police: *WHIIEEEJJ* "Sir what are we doing over here?"
You: "Well I don't know, what are you doing over there?"
Police: *sigh*

why is everyone saying it would be "bad" to drive after all these years? Change all the fluids before you start it and it should be good to go.

^ I think its good to go exactly how it is now, its not a crappy fiesta, that you leave for a winter, and than doesent start up. And Im sure that if the owner comes after it, he will start it up, and take it home, exactly how it is now.....

And offcourse you realise that Ferrari is the best car in the world. Dont you?

Stop confusing Fiat 500, Lamborghini LP640, with Ferrari , Maseratti and Pagani Zonda

There is a difference betwen cars and SUPERCARS, and its not in the price

LOL... reliability = FERRARI??? That's one of the best jokes I've heard in times... surely the 360 is a much more reliable car than the ones before, but, in a Ferrari meeting, don't know why, there are always broken cars in the way!

Ferrari FXX, over 1 milion $, Ferrari Enzo over 1mil $, P4-5, over 3 mil $, Zagatto, over 2 mil $.....


hey, you cant charge people, something that is not reliable, at a moment in time, it wont sell...just look in the supercar rallyes now a days, how many Ferraris are in, and finsih thousands of kilometers just fine, as with the ordanary cars....when they finish, everyone else has left for home long time before them.

LMAO I worked on Ferraris, old and new, for over 2 years and I can honestly tell you, they arent the most reliable car out there. As stated before, people dont buy Ferraris for reliability; they buy them for the looks, performance and pedigree.

Any car that has been stored for a long time is subject to have problems with it, especially if it is in a harsh environment. Has nothing to do with it being a Ferrari or Hyundai.
