Default Ferrari Life's INBOX - the funny random stuff

If anyone has ever checked the emails for a website's contact form, they know you can get some random stuff. From time to time, I'll share some of the better ones.

A few today

Not to be mean, but I couldn't make this stuff up if I wanted. A very misguided buyer. I love the VIN he is given too. So many things wrong here.

Hello, I have come across a 308 gts ferrari that I am contemplating on buying for $3000. I have researched the prices of parts and its a little out of my range so what im thinking is i would be able to resell
for a profit. This is what i know now and will email you more info as i get it assuming you respond and are willing to advise me. I also have pictures if you request thanks

- not sure on year yet but the mfg date is 10/27 (not sure if it would be a 87 or 88)
- it has 65000 miles on it
- automatic transmission
- needs some body work (fiberglass)
- non leather seats
- the vin number is 1G2PE119XJP204806 i cannot find a way to look it up for more specs but maybe you can

That's classic! I do get some unusual emails through my website as well, not sure that they're as entertaining as yours though. I'm curious if the California question was a truck driver trying to figure out how much it'll cost him to transport the car...

Not as rare as it should be. From the VIN I'm pretty sure it's a Pontiac Fiero with a 308 body kit.

...and if he still wants to know, its an '88, and only the add on Ferrari look a like parts are fiberglass, the rest are plastic
