Ferrari to Vatican: Ain’t No Sin

Thou shalt not drive a Ferrari

Responding to a document issued by the Vatican that includes the driving “Ten Commandments“, Ferrari has rejected the notion that buying their automobiles is a sin.

As reported by Reuters, “Ferrari’s general manager acknowledged the Vatican’s concern that some drivers could use the cars as status symbols, but he said most people bought Ferraris for the love of driving.”

According to the Vatican document, “Cars particularly lend themselves to being used by their owners to show off, and as a means for outshining other people and arousing a feeling of envy”

“Unless having fun has become a sin, I don’t believe it (to be wrong),” Ferrari’s general manager Amedeo Felisa told Reuters.

Vroom Vroom.

    “most people bought Ferraris for the love of driving” ?!

    Really?
    for the love of driving, huh?
    And is it necessary to spend $300,000 “for the love of driving” or because it will look good next to the other thirty over-priced vehicles in the garage of some ridiculously wealthy ball player. Obviously, vanity has nothing to do with it.

    Don’t you love sales people? They have such a way with words….someones going to hell, me thinks it is the car salesman!
