Picked on by a Ferrari

[ButtonMasher]

Ok so a little back ground info before I begin. I live in the fairly wealthy city of Irvine, California. Most of the students at my high school come from families that can afford to buy them brand new Mercedes and BMWs. I consider myself extremely fortunate to be driving an FR-S.

Anyway, everyday after school some dad picks up his son in a Ferrari F430 Spyder. He usually waits for his son near where I park my car. As I was packing my stuff into the trunk, Mr Ferrari rolls up with the top down and says, "that's a nice car..." Initially I took this as a compliment and was about to thank him until he opens his mouth again. Then he says "but it's not as nice as my car. You know how much I paid for this? A lot more than yours probably". At this point I'm thinking, " ugh what an a-hole". But in reality I say "yeah sure. You're a grown man with a job picking on a high schooler that details cars on the weekend for money. Why don't you scuttle along so I can go home". Baaaad idea. He revs that motor to ear busting volumes and has been doing that around me for a week now. Even better yet, his son comes up to me now and then and says something like " my dad's car is so much better than yours...blah blah blah ". Sometimes he rudely pushes me aside on the staircase.

Anyway, thanks for reading my story. Have any of you been picked on by other people driving more expensive cars?

Time for a turbo.

Bragging about your car never ends well. You might see some key marks on his car soon enough. Sounds like when he was your age, he didn't have a car like you did.

This reminds me why i like cars like the M5, S 63 AMG, RS7. They have four doors and blow away assholes like these. If you're in a sporty coupe and you get blown away in a sedan, i can't think of anything more embarrassing unless it was a minivan.

Mr Ferrari must be compensating for something. What a doucher. Pour sugar into his gas tank.

Don't worry. Just remember.. He might have more money, but with more money comes more problems. I've seen it all before. The universe will always find equilibrium. Everybody has to give back what they took.

One more thing.. Don't pour sugar down his tank. You can't fight negativity with negativity. Shower him with love and positive things to say. It will be more effective.

Yeah, that is definitely a guy who bought the Ferrari to try and cover up his insecurities. Don't sweat it. Btw, I loved the come back, if you really did say it. People like him are why it's hard to respect guys who drive those kind of cars. Some are humble car guys, others are just douche bags who are trying to compensate.

[ButtonMasher]

Many of the other parents/students don't appreciate his revving. I believe a cop told him to stop disturbing the peace, to which he replied with a loud rev. But like evan said, he'll get what's coming for him.

I'm not gonna mess around with him because that's basically sinking to his level. Plus he's always sitting in his car waiting for his son.

What kind of grown man brags about his car to a HSer?

You should record videos of him being a douche then post it on youtube and send it to your local news stations.

edit- He's probably gonna crash his Ferrari sooner or later with his type of douchebag behavior.

Yeah you always hear stories of high school bullies. But the fact that I'm being "bullied" by a grown man makes me chuckle

He's probably suffering from "Little boy" syndrome downstairs.

I think you're better off, even if he has a Ferrari. You're appreciating your car, good for you. You sound like a very nice young person who will go far in life.
