Had a Ferrari 360 Modena on my rear for about 2 mile this morning. When I was exiting the freeway he gave me a honk and a thumbs up!:thumbsuplic.jpg

Better yet, I was driving my Heritage yesterday and got a thumbs up from a Corvette driver AND a BMW M3 driver!

I not only got the thumbs up from a Gallardo spider yesterday (coming towards me in the opposite direction) but a double light flash!!!

If these guys had half-a-brain each, they'd be on their respective on-line forums bragging that they got a thumbs-up from a Ford GT! :)

Even better yet they would be telling their friends and their forum that they actually got to see a FORD GT in person , all of the cars mentioned on this thread with the exception of the GT are pretty common everyday cars around here

A fellow came up to me yesterday and said, "Wow, a Ford GT!! This car is like a unicorn, you only read about them or see a artist renderings of them, but you NEVER see one in person"!

I was on Woodward last week and got a 'thumbs up' ...and then the guy stopped where I parked and offered me $30.00 Cash for a ride down to 14 mile and back in my Ford GT.
Naturally I declined...never know what 'arms' these folks in Detroit may be 'packing'.

That's a near impossibility as most of them have their thumbs up their butts to begin with!!!

I have actually. I used to have a green Hybrid sticker on the back of my 09 Viper vert just to annoy folks. I guess a Prius owner thought it was for real and gave me the thumbs up at a light. He then passed and I got to see the usual bumpers stickers.

I've been invited to a Ferrari dealership event tomorrow night. On the two previous occasions that I have been invited to Ferrari debut (California and FF) events, I haven't brought the Ford GT. Didn't want to infringe on their event or look like I was trying to show them up or something.

But, it really shouldn't matter right? A car guy should be a car guy regardless...

Thoughts?

I've taken my GT to Ferrari of Central NJ for a few events, gets lots of love from other car nuts, the ones that own a Ferrari just for the name and "prestige" aren't car nuts, and could care less about any car that isn't theirs!!!!

A club gathering or maybe a meeting of F owners at a restaurant, I don't think it would be an issue but to an event at Ferrari place of business where hopes are to sell Ferrari's I'd probably leave the GT at home.

Well, I do have a Prius. And a Volt. So I guess that would be a yes.
