    Griping wont help. Its been this way forever. Do a meetup at the dealership or a car show. Local Ferrari Club does it as well. Make sure you bring clear title because leases don't count as ownership. Just kidding but really they shouldn't. You haven't really owned a Ferrari unless you've waved good buy to a bunch of 6 figures one way or another. :p

    It's not that many non-owners are trolling/attacking owners - It's that those few who have such vitriol against owners are almost exclusively non-owners.

    Regret nothing my friend. The 968 is a very good car, and in my humble opinion a sexier design than the Mondial.

    There are many threads about the Owner's designation and entrance into the Owner's Forum. You can also be verified by a sponsor of FC in lieu of the verification from multiple owners. For me, I bought my 458 at Ferrari of Denver. They sent a message to FC verifying my ownership. Quick, simple, Easy.

    i was Rossa for years, but things happened as I said. I was happy to pay prior to all that, and in fact, toyed with the idea of a sponsorship of the forum to get my business established among the ferrarichat community worldwide, and again, the decision was made moot by events. As it stands, I am banned from posting in FREE areas of this site for being too vocal and loyal a tifosi.

    that said, the rest of this site is extremely informative, and I’ve had many great conversations and even meetings with members, I’ve learnt a lot and I like to think some have benefited from knowing me/getting some help from me. I believe that we should in the main be supportive of genuine Ferrari enthusiasts and owners, rather than have to put up with negative comments and/or threads that are entirely designed to rile, annoy, upset, depress a great number of people. I’m pretty proud of my stats to be honest, I have at least one like for every two posts I’ve ever made, and bearing in mind I probably had 5000 posts prior to the ‘like’ system happening, I must be doing something right as that makes it 1:1, even if some don’t agree!

    OK, 4 pages in and has there been even a single example? Report these miscreants, and forum history says they will be dealt with appropriately. Otherwise this looks like a misplaced vendetta against non-owners, of which I am a part of.

    Will I ever own a Ferrari? It looks like a negative at this point (unless Boxer prices take a quick tumble). But I enjoy discussing the brand and interacting with owners a great deal.

    Yeah, I have no vendetta against non-owners, and have helped out plenty of people that can’t get their own ferrari to enjoy driving or riding in mine (only a few months ago I picked up my new one, and let my brother in law drive it home and broadcast his drive on Facebook for his buddies). We have had plenty of people chime in and confirm that the trolling occurs, but most of us probably don’t have time to mess around reporting it (look a bit harder, by the way, and one thread has been discussed as an example)

    It takes less than a minute to report mis-behavior......and it seems to bother you alot, seems like something a good forum contributor would point out. Where is this thread? I have no issue calling out and reporting trolls.

    That’s what makes a forum interesting, we all have different opinions on things, it would be pretty boring if we all agreed on everything, and all had the same triggers etc. I’m glad you haven’t had to deal with any of the trolling, many here have and have commented. In my own experience being a snitch on the report button does little, others have better experiences, that’s life.

    I can’t believe there are people out there who dare frequent this website and DON’T own a Ferrari. As if! Do you also take the #7 Unsuccessful Train to Penn Station every morning? Amirite?

    Thread title using "hate" leads readers to a conclusion not in evidence. I don't think it has anything to do with either "hate" or owners vs non-owners.

    I think it's simply the phenomenon of some people talk when they should listen. We have lots of owners who have done one oil change or maybe even only seen a oil change done that will then proceed to lecture professional Ferrari techs, who have done thousands of oil changes, on how to do an oil change or tell other owners that the pros are ripping owners off and the owners should do their own and not patronize the pros. Similarly, there are lots of owners that will cruise the classified ads and reference their buying experience from 5-10 years ago and diss the car or price advertised by another owner because it doesn't accord with their outdated market perceptions. Lots of examples in assorted variations.

    Case in point, there's a Ferrari owner here who has been going on Ferrari ad threads and telling interested parties that the new C8 is a better buy. :rolleyes:

    That is simple. I’ve bought 2 of my Ferraris from dealers, so will try and go down that route and post how it goes.

    you mean post #89 on January 7th when you started the thread December 24th? You and others couldn't provide a ton of examples in 89 posts?
