lol... my next door neighbour once got something similar to that...

He put his Mercedes SL55 AMG into the garage - they tried giving him a punto as a courtesy car.

So he kicked up a major fuss and refused to drive it away.

He ended up with a Porsche 911 turbo as a courtsey car

I think people are forgetting how much it costs to get your ferrari serviced too

You're not only losing your car for the time, but paying A LOT of money (probably more than the cost of a fiat 500)

I think if it was actually you in that situation you'd be a tad annoyed.

Agree with Paul, I would also like the chance to try out a similar performing car if it were me (like a 911 tubby).

I really wouldn't. If people can afford to buy Ferrari's, they can afford to service them.

Plus, if you had a Fiat 500 for a couple of days, think how rewarding it would be when you picked your Ferrari up

most people don't use their ferraris as daily drivers though, so when its in for a service they're not massively put out are they?

Dont talk rubbish

Its like if your 10 bed mansion got flooded and the insurance company moved you into a 1 berth caravan which leaked and was on a pig farm.

You wouldn't have a Ferrari as a daily driver, so all you'd need the 500 for is to get home and then back to the garage again a week later.

Thats slighty different

Like LiVe LeE said - You don't drive your Farrari everyday, so you're not massively dissapointed. I wouldn't be anyway, honest.

Some people do drive them everyday, infact Id bet that a large proportion do.

With service intervals between 5,000 and 12,000 driving one every day would be stupidly expensive

I'd probably go home and comfort myself by diving into my coin vault in the basement a la Duck Tales.
