Ferrari Drivers And Their Parking Law Immunity [Pics]
Total Pro Sports - Is it me or can only a Ferrari get away with such a parking job. I don't want to be quick to judge on this one. After all, the drivers of these three red beauties could have hobbled out of their car, grabbed their wheelchairs from the trunk and rolled themselves into the country club. Then again, the trunks on the Ferrari F40, F50 and Enzo likely could not even fit a wheelchair.
With that all being said, I am going to go on and assume that being an asshole is the only thing handicapping the owners of these three Ferraris. Sadly, not even a ticket would do much good as their change compartments are likely filled with enough small bills to pay off several parking infractions.
So it seems that we should just come to terms with the fact that Ferrari drivers hold a certain sense of immunity when it comes to parking laws. Perhaps that is part of the added cost of purchasing such an expensive car.
At least it isn't the worst parking job we have ever witnessed.

these people make me sick
give him a ticket and save the tax payers some cash
dude if they have money to own one of those things parking tickets or towing charges are the least of their worries
They park like that because of ignorant soccer mom’s who would think nothing of opening their doors too far and doing thousands of dollars of damage. Not to mention their ratty little munchkins that have no respect for anything nice. If I had a car that cost as much as a house, I’d park like that too to get away from stupid people. Don’t fail to internalize what it would be like to have to walk away from something so costly and delicate (and possibly rare), with non-car-lovers swooping into parking spaces without much care.
How else are you going to prevent the idiot that would park next to you from dinging your ride?
If I was a cop I would have a field day.
Ummm..because Ferrari drivers are douchebags?

Finland’s progressive fine based on income. More money, more fine. Instead of a $100 parking ticket how about 10k?
They wouldn’t mind a ticket, but I’m quite sure they would mind a good keying. Douches.
Someone who’s actually handicapped needs to park next to them and “accidentally” scratch their door.
Its not only Ferrari drivers that think they can park like that, most people do. You should see how many time i go out and see cars and trucks take up four spaces. Or you come back to your car, as see the car next to you, people think that parking is rocket science and can’t figure out that the car goes in between the lines.
There’s nothing here that a pot of coffee and my fast acting bladder can’t fix.
Look at these three heroes. Nobody is using the spots anyways. Maybe the handicapped people should stop being the assholes and take up all the good spots all over the country.
I understand it… if they didn’t park away from other cars, some d-bag in a 1992 Geo Metro would think it was funny to ding a Ferrari with their door.
Besides when any obese person can get a handicapped sticker these days, and that’s like 30% of America, I don’t feel these spaces have some higher meaning anymore.
I would key the crap out of that car
Umm those are an interesting mix of ferraris. It’s every super car they’ve made from the 80s to the present. How do you know they were part of a magazine shoot or something and that they didn’t have permission to park them there from the owner of the property? If it was just one car I’d think it was just an asshole, but 3 distinct super-cars? That sounds like a photo shoot or magazine review to me. You know if this country club is Pebble Beach, once a year they park them on the green, so, you know, look out.
Well, handicapped or not, those are still illegal park jobs. You still gotta stay within the lines!
Parking ticket is definitely cheaper than repairing damage from other cars.
What’s more of the dick move, taking a handicapped space that’s probably not going to be used by an actual handicapped person, or doing thousands or tens of thousands of dollars to someone’s car because you’re too self-absorbed to watch what you’re doing?
Don’t mind me, I’m just still bitter because some high-school kid thought it would be “funny” to key my metallic, discontinued, one-of-260 paint job.
Envy much?
Every single post in these comments is wrong.
The owners of the establishment where they are parked (country club, hotel, casino, club, etc) usually move exotics and park them right infront of the door (handicapped spaces, wherever) themselves as advertisement of the exclusivity of their club.
Some, but not all rich people are assholes. Don’t bitch because your not.
Don’t bitch because YOU’RE not able to spell…
If I come across people parking like this in a shopping center, I make it a point to scrape my shopping cart across any part hanging over the line. Maybe then they will learn to park like the rest of us.
(I do realize that the testosterone surge that they must suffer from, does cause brain damage, and lowers the I.Q., but that is not really a ligitimate excuse.)
dear bob, go fuck yourself, you will never amount to anything worthwhile of affording a nice car such as this,
sincerely, everyone
Hmm I’m suddenly reminded of the 2006 Monaco GP and Michael Schumacher parking his Ferrari at the Rascasse corner during qualifying. It must be something abut Ferrari’s and bad parking.
It’s because the cost of the parking fine is negligable compared to the cost of running the vehicle anyway. Also most parking agencies are afraid to clamp, tow or lift a fararri because of the high possibility of being sued for damaging these fragile vehicles.
To those saying they would key/ding/damage the cars because of the way they parked…
Two wrongs dont make a right. I will remember that the next time I dont like the way YOU park, i’ll enjoy keying your car because you said its ok if you dont like how somebody parks.
How do you expect them to respect the spaces if you dont even respect their property. If you want the world to be a better place, start by making yourself a better person, not worse.
To people like kzm, get a life and try earn some money ! We park our cars like that because some idiots are not careful enough when opening their door.
I don´t care if people get upset, I don´t want a crap car door in my side.
people who speak about doing harm to other people’s car to “teach” them a lesson are total losers. Don’t you have better things to do then be enraged by jealousy?
Where’s a “I park like an idiot” bumper sticker when you need one!
Actually I have a pretty good story about Ferrari’s parked in the wrong spot.
I was in Rome in 02 with a friend of mine when we came around the corner and saw an amazing looking red Ferrari parked on the curb. As we got closer something looked pecular. Much to our surprise the owner had parked the car in a tow away zone. Apparently cops in Italy don’t have any issues towing an expensive car, because it was hooked up to a Polizia tow truck. I even took pictures to save for my scrap book.
Obviously I cannot be sure, but I dare say that they’ve parked like that to avoid careless people opening their doors into their pride and joy. And for this reason guarantee that they’d rather a small fine over having to get panel work done to these quality cars.
Richnessssssssssssssssssssss
If you own one of those you can do whatever you want.
I find it funny about you talking about thousands of dollars worth of damage! Don’t ANY of you have insurance? Last person I found that parked like that, I threw sunflower seeds in his car. I woulda pissed in it but I was next to a busy street.If you are THAT paranoid about someone hitting your car, park AWAY from everyone else. Go to the end of the lot. Use them legs. This way, everyone can still enjoy your car, no one hits it, AND you get exercise you desperately need.
I would have left them a note on the hood expressing my profound disappointment with their behaviour. Oh, and I’d write it using Zip-Strip.
I don’t mind people with expensive cars taking up more than one space to protect their investment. What pisses me off is people with expensive cars taking up more than one space near the door. If you want to take up more than one spot, fine, but park further away, in spots that aren’t going to be used.
I’m guessing these pictures are taken out of context. Let’s say that this is a private country club parking lot where state law requires the club to have a certain number of handicap parking spaces but they are never or rarely used. So some of the patrons who have some nice cars ask if they can park there to protect their investments. How would that be wrong?
As others have mentioned there are many idiots who do not know how to park properly or have no consideration for other peoples cars and will ding your car without a care in the world, but if you owned one of these cars would you be so quick to park in the average grocery store, mall or Walmart parking lot?
First off, these arent 250k Ferraris…. F40s are selling for around $750k and Enzos for around $1.3-1.5mm; not to mention theyre extremely rare. One of those cars alone is worth more money than most people will ever see. The three of them parked together far exceed the total value of everything else in that parking lot combined and the potential cost of repairing even a door scratch is considerably more than the $250 parking ticket. If I drove a car worth more than most peoples houses, Id park where ever the hell I wanted too. Life aint fair, deal with it.
it depends on where they park, if it is in a far away area where the spaces wont really get used then it is ok but if it is in a good parking location, then it can be annoying and you can send a tip to security to speed up the parking ticket process for them.
PS i do hate people who open their doors like there angry and hit someone elses car and in which case, take a pic of their car and license plate before leaving, it only takes a second to do and you can report it to the police if needed and have their insurance cover the repair cost
The real problem with this if it isn’t a photo shoot of some kind, is the fact that they think they can do whatever they want because they’re rich. They may work for their money, fine. They may value their investment, fine. I doubt they work more than the 40 hours a week that most people work. The person who pays 30k for a minivan, and has to work 40 hours a week to afford payments, is no worse off than the guy who can afford to pay 1.3m for a car. Just because they can afford it, they feel they have special privileges, when in actuality they don’t. If you don’t want your shit getting messed up, don’t park in a public place. Go someplace where all your other rich friends go, and park next to them. Take your “less suited” cars to places where they may be damaged. Don’t be a dick because you feel it’s your right. It’s not.
.
most Ferraris have scissor/butterfly doors that has can’t open when parking conventionally, so they have to park like that.
they have extremely small penises and need to make up
I would absolutely destroy those f**king windshields. If they can afford to pay for countless parking fines, then they should enjoy paying for a new windshield, and maybe new tires. And perhaps paint job, ding removal and explosion insurance. Learn to f**king park.
I’m going to get one of those washable car window marker things soccer mom’s use on their SUV’s. And if I EVER see someone doing this shit I’m going to write ‘douchebag’ in giant block letters all over the goddamn car. They’ll probably shit bricks until they get home (after driving all around town with douchebag written on their car) and find it’s washable.
I’m disabled, and there’s LOTS of legitimately disabled people that NEED those spots. Osteogenesis Imperfecta (brittle bones disease) and I can’t walk very far with my cane at all, and I can only imagine the nightmare of dealing with a wheelchair every day. Give us a goddamn break and leave those spots alone; they aren’t simply luxuries for us, they are necessities. It’s ridiculously arrogant for you to think “well because there’s some fat people who fake their disability, nobody needs the spot”
Some of the comments on this post make me sick.
/end rant
Maybe they just went to pee and were coming back after a few minutes
Oka, so what I’ve gained from these comments is….
It’s the most heinous crime in the world to park illegally… BUT, it’s okay to…
- piss in the car
- throw a slurpee on the car
- key the car
- destroy the windshield
- slash the tires
- put a big ding in the side
And you wonder why you have nothing nice. People are so tough on the internet. With my Wrangler, and even my Mercury Cougar, both neither worth over $10k but something I take a lot of pride in, I will double park or park sideways AWAY from any other cars. This way, I’m not taking up close spots, or parking in a handicap spot. I’ve never had a problem with the police since they get why I do it and that I’m being respectful, but by the comments – it sounds like you guys are the ignorant dicks who are the reason people like this need to resort to such extremes.
These guys may not care about parking tickets but I guarantee they would lose their shit if one of these babies were towed to an impound lot.
@zach … even you are a loser for taking up 2 parking spots (you only need one, that’s all anyone needs) … especially with your crappy cars. When I see douche’s like you taking up 2 parking spots I usually park my (even shittier) 88 nissan as close as possible and in the same parking spot(s) … just to piss you off (apparently to you the parking lines don’t matter .. why should they to me)
If you drive a Ferrari you have earned the right to park where ever and how ever you want!
From someone that owns a nice car….
To all you people that want to damage these cars… I’d be willing to bet that the owners of these cars worked their butts off to get these cars. I know I’ve worked my butt off for the last 10 years building my business, sacrificing more than I could have possibly ever imagined to afford my Porsche.
When my business starting doing well I bought my dream car, a very rare Porsche and paid CASH. It’s something I wanted to do for me. Just tonight I sat from inside a coffee shop and watched some girl in a old Toyota slam her door into the side of my car. The only thing she cared about was getting inside that coffee shop with her friends and now I have god only knows how much money in repair bills to have the dent and scrape marks removed.
I have her plate and pictures and am about to become her worst nightmare. I encourage anyone reading this that has had to deal with inconsiderate people to take them to court, perhaps they will think twice the next time they park. It’s time people learn a little respect for other peoples property.
