The Ketchup Post -Packet IX- How to Buy

So even if you do have the money, how do you buy a Ferrari? Craigslist? Cars.com? Where do you see Ferrari's for sale? The Ferrari dealership?



My account now has over $100,000usd in CASH!! I walk into the Ferrari of Houston Dealership feeling like a Rockstar.

I don't really plan on buying anything, because the dealership always charges way too much, just like with normal cars. But I at least want to test drive a few and see the interiors so that I know have some sort of baseline of the condition that a 360 Modena should be in.

Keep in mind I currently drive a Ford Escort. This is my actual car. Even with professional models showing it off, it doesn't scream "Rock Star" as loud as I hope.


I set foot into the Ferrari of Houston dealership. The front desk lady is cute and says 'hi'. The salesmen in the back look up briefly. And then they all return to doing their work. Salesmen are very busy people apparently.

**************Walk to Salesman
Errorik: Can you help show me a couple cars?
Steve: Hi Sir, you're going to have to talk to Sally at the front desk.

**************Walk to Front Desk
Errorik: Hi, can someone show me a 360 modena?
Cute Front Desk Lady: Yes, one second
Errorik: Thank you ma'am.
Cute Front Desk Lady (On intercom): Steve, I have a Mr. Errorik here interested in a 360 Modena, are you available to show Mr. Errorik anything we have to offer this afternoon.
Steve (On intercom): Yes, I'll be right up.

***************Steve Walks Up
Steve: Oh, it's you. Look, it's the end of the day and I got a few things to catch up on. Is this something quick?
Errorik: Hi, I'm Errorik. I'm interested in buying a 360 Modena. Can you help show me a couple of your cars?
Steve: Oh, those? We don't have any for sale right now. Sorry, son.
Errorik: What about the ones listed on your website?
Steve: I must have forgot, they're out back. Right this way.

***************We Walk to the Cars
Errorik: Okay, wow, nice. These cars are amazing. I've been wanting one for a long time. I was thinking about getting this color.
Steve: Yes, Ferrari's do set a standard.
Errorik: Can I get in?

Steve: No.
Errorik: Hahaha
Steve: ?
Errorik: Oh, are you serious?
Steve: I'm afraid so. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Errorik: I'd like to check out the interior and take it for a test drive.
Steve: That's just not a possibility. These cars are very valuable and expensive to maintain.
Errorik: Oh, okay. Sorry to inconvenience you. Thanks for your time.
Steve: Good day.

That's the first time I had see "Ferrari Arrogance". I had never experienced it before in my life because I had never met a Ferrari Driver or Salesman before.

First time for everything though.
