1/18 scale Ferrari 250GT California Spider: If you had access to a (toy) car like this, would you take it back right away?

Neither would I.

 

Any visual discrepancies between this 1/18 scale Hot Wheels shelf model and the "Ferrari 250GT California" seen in Ferris Bueller's Day Off are because of the fact that the car seen in Ferris Bueller's Day Off was actually an MGB modified to look like a Ferrari 250GT.

 

Cameron: The 1961 Ferrari 250GT California. Less than a hundred were made. My father spent three years restoring this car. It is his love, it is his passion.

 

Ferris: It is his fault he didn't lock the garage.

 

Cameron: Ferris, what are you talking about?

 

Ferris: Whoo!

 

Cameron: Ferris, my father loves this car more than life itself.

 

Ferris: A man with priorities so far out of whack doesn't deserve such a fine automobile.

 

Cameron: No, no. Apparently, you don't understand!

 

Ferris: Wow!

 

Cameron: Ferris, he never drives it. He just rubs it with a diaper.

 

(Ferris runs his finger along the side of the car.)

 

Cameron: Hey, remember how insane he went when I broke my retainer? Huh? Come on, that was a little piece of plastic, this is a Ferrari.

 

Ferris: Che bella!

 

(Ferris blows a kiss to the car.)

 

Ferris: Cameron, I'm sorry, but we can't pick up Sloane in your car. Mr. Rooney would never believe Mr. Peterson drives that piece of shit.

 

Cameron: It's not a piece of shit.

 

Ferris: It is a piece of shit. Don't worry about it, I don't even have a piece of shit, I have to envy yours.

 

Cameron: (Sarcastically) Oh, thanks.

 

Ferris: Look, I'm sorry. There's nothing else we can do. (Gets in car.) Whoo!

 

Cameron: He knows the mileage, Ferris.

 

Ferris: He doesn't trust you?

 

Cameron: Never has, never will.

 

Ferris: Look, this is real simple. Whatever miles we put on, we'll take off.

 

Cameron: How?

 

Ferris: We'll drive home backwards.

 

Cameron: (Grunty laugh.) No. NO!

 

(Ferris starts engine.)

 

Cameron: Ferris, forget it, you're just going to have to think of something else! I'm putting my foot down!

 

(Ferris begins to drive out of the garage.)

 

Cameron: How about we rent a nice Cadillac? My treat! We could call a limo! A nice stretch job with a TV and a bar! How about that?

 

(Ferris backs towards garage to pick up Cameron)

 

Ferris: Come on, live a little!

 

(Cameron makes a sign of the cross.)
