Default Poor man's Ferrari

So coming home from work today I was behind a newer, red Honda Fit that was lowered on steelies, had a large custom exhaust tip, and tinted windows. The license plate read "FITRARI." I went to grab my phone but the light turned green. I got a good chuckle!

There's a Fiat 500 styled after Ferrari, with the Italian racing stripes, red paint, Ferrari badges...

Sadly I've been cut off, nearly clipped and I constantly wonder why these 100hp Fitrari's are in the fast lane slowing up traffic.

So not surprised by the plate.

The fact that it is red just makes it seem like he went out and had intentions of this prior to purchasing it.

Haha pretty funny. I bet Ferrari owners are pissed.

I once saw a brand new Ferrari with a bumper sticker that said, "Dont' Laugh, It's Paid For." As you know, that sticker is usually affixed to a clunker. I thought the irony was pretty good. hehe

A few years ago I saw a guy with all these stickers on his 1992 Civic. My other car is a Porsche. He had a sticker that also said he had a Ferrari it was funny
