I live in California

I am not BLACK...  but my car is

Just before my wife died, we took the then 25 year old black Ferrari to a sandwich shop close to the house on a Sunday afternoon.  Parking lot was empty.

Just as our food gets brought to us, a young black gent pulls into the same establishment in a new, red, fancy stripes, big wing, bright polished wheels, GT2. 

He parks leaving one space between us.

He walks into shop, notices us and gives a glaring, stern nod... (I have no idea what it meant, just remember it)

All of us are eating when a group of kids (12-15 yo) of all shapes and heritage come skateboarding across the parking lot.

The kids begin to gather around the Ferrari.

My wife nudges me and I respond, "yep, saw them".

We're finished so I gather up our trash and head for the door.

Other gent speaks up "those assholes" and storms out the door ahead of me.

By the time he gets to the crowd of kids standing around my car, he's in full anger mode

2 kids have their backs to his car but are toying with their skate boards near his car.

He starts screaming at them to get away from his car.

Then he starts to belittle my car and telling the kids how much more expensive his car is

He again tells them to stay away from his car

He tells them how much faster his car is.

He tells them how much cleaner his car is... (he was right)

Just as we get to the car, one kid snarks back at him....  Yeah, but this IS A FERRARI!

The crowd parted and I opened both doors, asked if anyone wanted to sit in the Ferrari. 

They all took turns, some wanted to see the motor.

Other gent goes back in store and back to his meal.

I start the Ferrari... ooohs, ahhhhs

Kids say thanks! and skate off

As they pass the window where the other gent was sitting several in unison yell "douche bag".

And that's the kind of attention you are going to get in a Ferrari... regardless of color

Go with it, or get annoyed by the attention. (Or lack thereof if you buy a Porsche)

It's not a matter of affording the ticket, it's just such a pain in the ass getting pulled over, especially since I'm always right on time, so any delays and I'll be late.

I would say, that if you are going to spring for a Ferrari, go for the model and color you like best and don't worry about the small stuff!

Subject: [Ferrari] Question for the list re: red cars

Okay, guys, I know from a resale point, "resale red" is always a good color choice, but from a driving standpoint, do you guys find driving a red Ferrari gets too much attention (especially from the police/revenue collectors) versus other colors? Currently spec'ing a car, and I've got to admit I'm definitely finding myself drawn to red, but concerned it will get more attention than I'd like to attract.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts/suggestions.
