‘rrari with the back seat

2018 Ferrari GTC4Lusso V12

(This listing is from Bring a Trailer.)

There’s a word for people who have a couple of kids, sprout some grey hairs, make a little money and then run out and buy a 911.

Amateurs.

Your dentist doesn’t drive one of these. That dude in the school carpool line doing a Zoom call at 3:30 explaining to his staff why they all need to work in-office doesn’t have one of these. Neither does anybody at that shady telemarking joint that runs out of the industrial park and makes you wonder about the commission structures of no health exam term life policies.

This is the elite sports car brand option that lets you drive off with a couple of kids in the back, and not because it’s a downmarket SUV or, you know…a deeply compromised convertible designed primarily for the west coast Turo market. Instead, you’re talking about a proper front-engine V12 that honestly feels like an almost grotesque flex in the face of the interesting but modest design ethos represented by this thing.

There’s really not that much more to say about it. The only reason hip hop videos aren’t riddled with these is that too many rappers don’t live long enough to appreciate the practicality and the ones who do recognize that Ferrari doesn’t rhyme with much and GTC4Lusso rhymes with even less.

…GT C me rolling like a black sheep

Lusso (you go), ‘rrari with the back seat…

Alright, well that’s obviously fire so there must be some other reason. Maybe it’s that a Rolls Royce holds more bitches. And groceries.

But unless you, too, are hamstrung by a surplus of bitches and groceries, it’s probably time to drop a bid.
