I have only ridden in a Ferrari once, and that was a 308 back in the '80s.
When my son was in Italy studying abroad, he was in Modena after going through the Ferrari museum, when someone on the street asked if he wanted to drive a 488 Spider. He jumped on it, and got to drive it around town for about 100 euros.
Yesterday, I took the Taycan out for the first time in a few weeks. Some young guy popped into my office asking whose car it is, and whether he could take pictures. He explained that he is a big fan and gear head, but has never seen a Taycan in the wild. Ended up taking a bunch of pictures with his cell.
Today, I drove it again. A fire marshal was doing the annual inspection of our office park, and when he came into mine asked all about the car. He was more interested in that than he was interested in the expired fire extinguisher and whether the emergency lights were working.
Neither of those types of things ever happens around here.
