OK since no one else has

Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)

Three kids Taking a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California out for a spin Synopsis:

Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) convinces his nervous hypochondriac friend Cameron (Alan Ruck) to take his father's carefully restored 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California out for a spin, although Cameron's father has memorized the car's mileage. Ferris promises to erase any miles they put on the car by driving the car home in reverse.

However, while the friends enjoy their day, two parking attendants borrow the Ferrari and take it on their own adventures, trashing it unmercifully and running up mileage dramatically in the process.

When the trio retrieve the car and Cameron spies the odometer reading, he enters a catatonic state. They return to Cameron's house, where they jack the car up in the garage and put it into reveres to reverse the odometer.

However, the car remained in reverse throughout the beating and when Cameron rested his foot on the front bumper one last time, the car falls off the jack, and quickly bursts through the plate glass window in the back of the sterile garage, and into a ravine below the house.

If there was one thing I wish we could have and that would a "valet switch" or something that limits the car to 20mph or 2000 rpms or both
If you have a tuner you can adjust the redline down to I believe 3000rpm. I don't think you can adjust the speed limiter though.

It very well may if you keep letting parking attendants park your car...

I'll usually let valets park my 'Stang if I'm in that sort of situation. They're usually clean, and they're trusted to park cars far more expensive than my own.

I won't however let anyone else drive it, except for the mechanics at the dealership when it's in for service. When I get inspected and the guy tries to drive, I just look at them like their nuts, say nothing about their grease-covered filthy clothes on my leather seats, and drive it in myself.


That's pretty cool about the valet, tho. Kudos.

I parked at a restaurant once, right on the front curb, right between a Maserati and a Vette, (just to be a shyt of course, ) and when I came out later on, there were people looking at MY car, and not the others. lol

Mustang FTW

Thats a great story but bieng a valet driver in my adolecent punk youth, I would never ever let valet park your car unless you absolutly have too. They do stupid things like rumage through your car, steel your change bump the front end into walls all, steal CD's and anything unassuming. Well at least that's what I've heard anyway. Cool story.
