i believe you're the one who needs to make a choice here, boy!
you either hate a ferrari and hate it even more from the bottom of your heart or just can't stand the fact that it has over-exceeded your expectations and has been giving you a migraine since the 488 has been out.
it's simple, be a man and admit it or just stfu and stop pulling all these propagandas out of your bum or drag your mentors bum to pull a harder fact that's covered in columbian coco.

how can you hurt my feelings, when you're the one who's revealing your own true and shite personality that plays every now and then the "i'm good with every car out there, as long as they hand over the keys and set a lap time" you're either dazed or mentally deficient.
bada bing bada boom...guess it's time to call for backup, huh ? your mentor with a bad breath2+

just say it, you're a natural ferrari hater and can't admit it on public forums.
if you were an obese stupid boy with no life, would you tell the whole forum about it ? of course not!
that's the typical hypocrite member you are, an exact copy of your comic superhero hippo-creep2+ just a bit on the dumb and dumber side.
