"My wife, who is significantly younger than me." He just wanted to flex
Lol facts
ill approve the flex.
@@oOWN3Do approved and encourage all future flexing
@@somenygaard looking at the photos it’s also obv homedude works on keeping from looking decrepit. Gets harder and harder every year, if you can pull it off why not? The right women of a certain age are like radioactive decay to OldMan mental and emotional funk.
@@samsonian I’m guilty of the same crime but not as many years as this one looks. My wife is 13 years younger than me.
Found a stolen F40, didn't reunite it with the owner. Bought another F40 for a good price, don't drive it. Sigh.
Lmao right??
My thoughts exactly. A very anti-climactic story with a lame ending.
How much money do you need to just buy cars that you can only look at?
Houndreds or thousands to drive it? What? Who cares - just drive your car.
Yeah, I knew I should have just watched the Adventures with Purpose video...
No happy ending to this video. The guy sounds kinda cool tho.
“I have an F-40. I can look at it, I can touch it, but I can’t drive it.” I strongly feel this also applies to his significantly younger wife as well.
He seems to enjoy it
Driving a wife does sound rather difficult, so you might be right
When you're like me, driving women is quite easy. Driving them insane 😂
I’ll never understand buying a car to not drive. If I’m buying a car I’m gonna drive it!
They're collectors and exotic cars depreciate fast .
Agreed I would drive the shit out of an F40...... but only late at night when nobody else is on the road to smack it 😁
It’s like marrying someone and not sleeping with them so that the next husband or wife could enjoy it.
That’s because he buys cars differently than you. You buy them to get to work to make money. He buys them to make money for him.
This car is very different😂😂
World's most worthless car? The one you can own but never drive.
Like owning a house you can't go in.
If you aren’t able to hide it in plain sight, it really is just a waist of space
@@neonblack6010 divorce sucks?
Like having a girlfriend an dont have sex with her to save her up for the next guy....
Unlike the stolen F40, the one you can drive but never own.
Imagine having the balls to post a stolen million dollar Ferrari for sale on a global classified site
Doubt they knew it was stolen
@@ashishpatel350 they wouldn't let it leave the warehouse does that make you think they dont know its stolen?
The Yakuza dgaf.
It's actually more common than you think !
the dealer was sus
"I have a Ferrari F40, but I won't drive it". Were sadder words ever spoken?
“Not a lot of people are willing to go all the way to Japan to look at a car.”
I’d be willing to go all the way to Japan for any reason, even if it’s no reason at all.
LOL right? I imported a Daewoo Matiz from Korea, and my wife is only a year younger than me :D
Half japanese
110% am willing to go back for family, own an RHD car and live there,
Cringe.
@@highvisibilityraincoat You speak of yourself. Not me.
@@NoTraceOfSense 🤓🤓🤓
Hes not a car guy, hes one of those car investor types .....
Thats the exact vibe he gives off. Everyone’s BS meters are going off here...
He did say he’s a “collector”
@@johnnywood8082, so what? You can collect things and still use them. I collect guns. I've shot all of mine, with the exception of a couple of parts guns and one that I can't get ammo for (it's a .32 rimfire).
@@---cr8nw 😂😂
I was simply making a statement in relation to what the other two guys said about him not being a car guy just doing it for investment. Meaning he never claimed to be a “car guy”.
He could do whatever he wants with his money he could buy it and light it on fire for all I care. his money to do whatever he wants with.
@@johnnywood8082, they didn't say anything at all about him being a collector. They said he's an investor. That has a whole different meaning than collector.
Not driving a car like that is like not making love to your partner, for fear that they'll be less desirable in future relationships.
Exactly, like just buy a scale model car if you just want to stare at it, makes no sense.
Not driving a car like that is like not making love to your partner, for fear that they'll be less desirable in future relationships.
Not really I personally would drive the hell out of it but trust and believe I understand why you wouldn’t put miles on a car like that
Best analogy for this situation I've ever heard. 👍👍
I mean do you sell you partner after 10-20 years for big profit? Thats why people buy and dont drive them. Its just an investment for some rich guy.
I actually felt sad when he said he wanted to drive it but couldn't.
To me, you see the car as more of an investment than something you really wanted. Because if you did, you'd drive it, and not worry about the km's.
She’s not in it for the money.
You cant take your money with you when you kick the bucket. Drive it.
Man i love u for saying that. Everything is worthless when ur gone
His wife and pool-boy will enjoy it when he's worm food. 😂
Damn you said it right ! he is the Y2K SCROOGE lmao !!! I feel sorry for this sort of people ! never enjoy their life !
My childhood friend had so ridiculously expensive couches at their home that nobody was allowed to sit on them, not even adults. Kinda perfect analogy for a car you can't drive.
@@weirdbeardgarage Why don't they just wrap them in plastic like the Portuguese?
The car was built to drive , not to look at in a garage or on a pedestal
Well i totally agree but he bought it with his own money so who are we to judge what he does on his own car anyway
@@b.roa2366 it’s sad a car is built to be driven
@DeadlyButSilent2 a Ferrari is meant to be enjoyed
@DeadlyButSilent2 raced. That car won’t like stop and go traffic
The moral of the story: always listen to your hot, young wife.
how to lose everything you own to somebody who pretended to like you
Ed, your channel is by far my favorite. I’m a car guy myself, that went from broke to very successful. Thank you for always giving me more to shoot for in life with the car stories!
Calls Italian Police department "I found a stolen Ferrari"
Italian Police: "And?! Get outta here it's our lunch break"
As someone who had two cars stolen in Italy, 74 Fiat 500 and BMW 745, I can attest to this. Nothing gets done from 12-2 which actually means an hour or so before and after those times.
It took me over an hour every month to deposit the rent into my landlords bank account.
@@somenygaard did you get your cars back? What happened after?
@@mo-hammadabunaser1367 nope never saw them again. I didn’t speak Italian and I believe they were stolen by tow companies who , imo, targeted people who they knew would have a hard time tracking them down.
guys i'm sorry for your experience.but unless you are talking about 1992 it isn't that way.
Hmmm, I wonder how you say, "Whadda you want, a medal?" in Italian?
I mean, you CAN drive it but you choose not to.
seriously, why not at least drive it a few hundred miles a year? Kind of ridiculous
In the firearm world, we call this kind of guy a FUDD.
^^^^ THIS!
True
Not familiar with that acronym what does it mean ?
@@charlie1832 It refers to Elmer FUDD. Watch some looney tunes and you'll understand.
"I would love to drive it everyday, but I cant." ummm yes you can. you just dont want to.
"Bring it over here and it's immediately worth 300-400 thousand dollars more!" and then complains that driving it will lower the value. Lame.
How do you think he got to the point where he could buy cars like that?
I cant wrap my head around buying a million dollar car and being afraid to drive it.
You make 5x the money in a few years
@@MrInternFTL That's the stupidest thing I've heard today. If you buy a million dollars of car, you fucking drive the car.
Anyone dropping that is not waiting for more money to show up.
@@Stadanco yes and a well functioning example is worth more, and if were going to be honest letting a car sit for long periods of time is a waste of money.
@@sv_cheats1970 Probably why the turbo failed in the first place
@@Biker_Gremling most likely
"If you have the Ferrari and keep it in the box you're gonna outgrow it so drive it"
-Kevin Mccallister, Home Alone
"My wife, who is significantly younger than me." Totally didn't expect that one after hearing you're rich. XD
honestly rather not hear from a guy who buys a car only to never drive it...
Didn't try to report it to local police? "Hey, these guys are trying to sell me a stolen car, they're in this warehouse..."
That's what I don't get. The Italians might not care, but the Japanese authorities take that kind of stuff very seriously.
Also Japanese police are EVERYWHERE. I've had to pop in to one of the "koban" boxes before over a lost passport. Friendliest cops I've ever dealt with. They all have their "japanese to english police phrasebook". And a decent sense of humor. He'd have very easily been able to rectify the issue.
Sounds like a good idea until you realize the yakuza can have that entire situation wiped away
Or at least contact Interpol
You just know that they're together for love. Has ABSOLUTELY nothing at all to do with money.
Nothing at ALL!!
LMFAO 😂
mad props to a company that holds to a price and then takes care of a problem on a used car
🤦♂️ what is the point of buying the car if you’re not going to drive it. Ffs, sell it to someone who will actually drive it.
Guy flies across the world to see and maybe buy a $1 mil car....hopes for a reward for calling in a theft that happened 20 years ago. Damn...
He's 100% a "Kevin" 😂
@@Karl_Kampfwagen guy was wack af you don’t snitch lol
Well I try to get an award too! If I owned that car and it was stolen and I get a mil plus car back hell yeah I give that guy an award! At least 50k
Apparently, there was another car, an F50, that was stolen in Italy in 2003, went to Japan, then to Canada, where it was sold to someone in Florida. The car was intercepted before it entered the US, with sketchy in modifications. They still do no not know who legally owns the car.
Nothing sadder than spending years searching for the "Holy Grail" car, then just having it sitting around in a warehouse
I bet he doesn't "enjoy" his wife either because he is scared of depraciation on her, well thats a good way to keep her in mint condition for next "owner"
TOP COMMENT!!! 🤘
I’m sure somebody is taking her out for joyrides unbeknownst to him.. but he never turns her on to notice the mileage
Ouch!
Somebody's got to do the Italian tuneups and fluid changes...
I enjoy her
This guys a bum. I don't wanna hear stories of rich dudes who don't even drive the cars they own.
Agreed. Dude is a pure Chad
Probably the furthest thing from a bum lol
😭😭😭😭
yeah, not someone interesting whatsoever
The original poster probably lives in his moms basement and plays video games
That's really cool you found out that one was stolen before buying, but buying one and not driving it is a total waste of money.
This man has good taste. Tall and young.
Who else just called the police station in Italy to see if they can get a reward but still didn’t get an answer
Lol. Best comment!!👏👏👏👏👏
Finds stolen car in Japan
"Ah yes let me call Italy"
And not the Japanese police and tell them it's a stolen car last seen in Italy :D
Japan has a 99%conviction rate, and they really love confessions, even if they have to give a beating to get it.
He’s a money man. Japan= No reward. Italy = Reward. That’s a no brainer.
@@TheBrianFlanagan But even so if he's such a car collector wouldn't he want that F40 to go back to it's original owner, reward or not i would have called the cops if i knew it was stolen.
Something tells me the local police would be *persuaded* to not investigate.
@@the_kombinator Probably but since the italians didn't pick up the phone it'd been better than nothing probably.
I don't knock the guy for not driving it. He is just holding it in prestine condition for somebody who will.
Totally agree with the comment that it's the 'holy grail.' Have always loved the F40 since I was a kid... I was obsessed with the F40 and the Porsche 959. Downright amazing cars, and the sound of the F40 is INTOXICATING. Thanks for sharing this incredible story! 👍👍
If I'm his age, with his money and I finally get my dream car - There is absolutely no chance I'd care about the money lost on how much I drive it.
Life's too short, you can't take an F40 to the grave man.
Life's even shorter for him 🤣
Techinally you can if you wreck bad enough and have it in your will to be buried with it.
yeah thats the biggest problem with the car community. everyone wants it to be a asset but forgets why they wanted one to begin with. like the reviewers of the day saying this is the best handling super car off all time.
This was not his dream car or it would have been his first purchase. He said he had a warehouse... he was looking for an investment
Technically you can...you can even be buried in it!
Imagine buying a dream car and then not drive it. What a pug
Lol
Can tell this dude is not a real car guy. Any real car guy would’ve done almost anything to reunite the F40 with its original owner.
I enjoy this channel quite a bit
I like how he said Ferrari charged him a “little bit of labor”. His little bit of labor is probably what my car is worth lol
That labor was worth more than the value he got from driving it.
Yeah labor for turbo swaps at Ferrari on an F40 had to be close to $10K
Good story until the part where he’s afraid to drive the car because of possible depreciation. What a waste.
As soon as he said "Palermo, Italy", I immediately thought "Mafia Insurance Job".
On your death bed I’d hate for you to say to yourself “gosh I can’t believe I was actually able to own my dream car but I was too afraid of depreciation to actually drive and enjoy it”.
We do love some stolen exotic car stories!
Car crime seems to be beneath police radar these days even if you give them video footage showing the low life scum clearly, yet miss £0.50 from your taxes and you get a full armed Swat team and tax collector at your door.
Can you adopt me im 25
Yes we do some of my favorite VINwiki stories are about the stolen cars !!
Ed, this story just drives home how right you are about buying imperfect cars so you can actually afford to drive them.
Ed here in new Zealand we have a nz new 2016 superleggera Gallardo. How is this possible
You never saw Ferris get the miles off a Ferrari? Drive the car and call Ferris and Cameron....enjoy the day off!
Yes I love that movie
@@ethansgarage7627 everyone does, that Smokey and the Bandit and Cannonball Run are some of the best movies.
Just unhook the odometer. Shit man I did that on lesser cars in my youth.
“ I’m sorry for my fake accent”🤣🤣
Someone should open a company to buy ownership of insurance losses. Find leads and take ownership of the vehicles. Pricing for claims will be adjusted to make sure it's not worth exploiting this system.
" We can look at it and touch it". What a waste. Drive it. Enjoy it. It's a car.
@@Joe-hs3jz No- they don't. As the man stated, in Europe (& other places) they drive them. On Petrolicious, there is a man living here ( stateside) who drives his. It's a car. Drive it & enjoy it.
@@mrmoss149 Also to mention is the F40 that rallies in the Japan snow.
@@Joe-hs3jz do you think that the stuff you see in museums has never been used?? History is made by those articles that have been used and abused, this type of collectors are annoying.
@@Joe-hs3jz Why ? You still have some F40 in some Ferrari museum ! Sure the guy do what he wants with HIS car but it's a shitty mentality, he said it himself, it's to maintain the value, not to put it in a museum.
@@Joe-hs3jz Watch the Auto Biography "The Case of the Plot Enzo" episode. The car was crashed at 200mph and Ferrari rebuilt it.
I wonder if his wife is with him for his personality or because he can afford an F40 🤔
Don’t think he cares 😇
He definitely knows
Imagine not driving it, natural selection at this point
It's kind of like being 5 years old and somebody giving you your favorite matchbox car that you're not allowed to open it and play with it ,,kind of breaks your heart
May as well get a life size model of one, if you're never going to drive it.
great story but man you cant even enjoy the car at this point... that sucks.
He can enjoy it he just doesn't want to lose money for having a good time
@@hacatan24 and you think that is enjoying a car for what it truly is? A car not a painting. You drive cars you look at paintings. There is an f40 in my area and the guy who owns it takes it out on weekends during the summer and cruises hwy100 with hundreds of other cars.. that is truly enjoying a car for what it is.
@@hacatan24 So does he have a bad time when he enjoys it? That sounds shitty to me... I mean I get it, its gonna cost him a shit ton of money, but if he can't eat that depreciation then what's the point? Find a cool shop with one that has a cars and coffee every few months and look at it there for free.
Probably the guys were members of the Yakuza. Good escape, friend.
So what, they're going to kill him if he doesn't buy it? Follow him around and threaten him if he does?
What the fuck is he escaping from? IDK seems he walked away from a messy situation and didn't have the wherewithal to report it to the local police. I've had better adventures than this guy in my early 10s lol.
proof that money CAN buy happiness
This is what makes me sad: people buy amazing cars but don't drive them because they'll lose value. Why not collect stamps instead?
Can you imagine buying a stamp and not mailing a letter with it?
my inner child is raging at this man. twiddling his thumbs with my dream car locked in his shed
"Siesta" time.. In Italy? You lost me there
Why not call the local authorities instead of police on another continent?
Exactly!
because by the time he left they moved the car and deleted their numbers. Come on that must be obvious.
@@tombutcher3021 If that's the case then either way it's futile haha, it just makes more sense to call local if you're going to do only one. I did go back watch it again and he said he left before he called.
@@MadCarTK A car like this is owned by gangsters local police are not doing a thing and they wanted the mechanic to come to them, they would of walked up to him told him in Japanese pass this car or you are in trouble.
So why didn't he report to the local authorities that he found a stolen car that's worth a million dollars? He has a location of the car, phone number and a person of contact..... 2+2 is equaling 9 here and I'm confused.
Did you not finish the video 🤦🏻♂️🤔 he did call them
@@crispyfurburgerthe4th669 He called the Italian cops, who probably didn't even have the documents anymore from a car theft over 20 years ago. He should have called the Japanese cops, they could have actually helped him
@@generalguilmon6719 I mean how’s that gonna work tho it’s been registered in Japan so why would they care obviously they don’t if they let them register it in Japan
@@crispyfurburgerthe4th669 Lol did you even watch the video?
@@crispyfurburgerthe4th669 looks like you didnt watch the whole video, the car could have not been ever registered in japan, it could have sat in a garage or if it never sees public roads why register it?
This f40 has been put up for sale again in Japan for 1.2million and I’m 100% sure it’s the same one and same people trying to sell it again
Imagine looking years upon years for a good deal on a F40, scanning all kinds of forums and watching for valuta drops, getting a good deal with alot of luck involved and then not even driving it because *hurr hurr* 'it only has 7000".... RIDICULOUS. Great story tho! Keep it up.
Mark: “I brought my wife”
Me: “that’s cool”
Mark: “- who’s significantly younger than me”
Me: “My man”
The low key flex😂💯
Brought the wife or bought the wife
@@madmyro How is that low key in any sense? Low key would be to show a pic of her face for 3 seconds and let your mind wonder. He's just bragging.
I BOUGHT my wife...you mean? ;)
*Bought
No 20 or some year old hot chick would get with an old man (except for very rare cases) for their personality...
Its the money she married
Anyone else sick they're like, damn 1.5 mil $ car.
Oh we can't drive it?
What?
Having a car you literally never drive is like not having that car at all
I have the picture of this in the garage in Texas from a number of years back. Wild to hear the full story
What a novel idea, actually driving cars! ;D
He looks about my Dads age but his wife looks younger than his F40
You got your reward. The yakuza didn’t assassinate you.
Ok this is for real the last one before bed.
Next big RUclips series that should have started yesterday

This dude just admitted he has a sugar baby. Lol bruh she likes the money.
Orrrr some people just genuinely like one another regardless of age (where legal ages permit) and the money is a bonus or doesn't even matter
@@JoeyBrod exactly and it sounds like she’s smart too, happy for the guy she’s looking out for him
@@JoeyBrod nah bro. Stop tryin lol
He may be using her just the same lol
who knows she could be on the outs with a prenup to burn for warmth .
@@JoeyBrod Yup, I have a coworker who is 25 and she's with, and has had a couple kids with, a dude who I believe is in his 40s. As long as it's consenting, let 'em do what they want.
That Ferrari is one of my favorite cars of all time.
That’s why the turbo blew originally , It rotted from not being driven .
What a disappointing story.
The only real takeaway is that hypergamy is alive and well 😎
whats the point of having a car if your afraid to drive it? (exepte for investement)
“I’d love to drive it everyday, but I can’t.” Yeah, you keep telling yourself that, boss.
drive your ferrari until your heart's content, time doesn't wait for anyone
I can’t imagine spending that kind of money on a car I don’t drive .
Wish he kept the serial number for the thing, would really help in hunting down its rightful owner and current whereabouts.
Same
It's stories like this that sour me on the fantasy of exotic car ownership. This man is an investor, not a car guy.
If I'm ever rich enough to spend millions on cars,the last thing I'll be concerned with is resale
8:02 hope he doesn't apply that philosophy two his wife
Keep it fresh for the next guy! Not me I’d wear out her and the car and enjoy every second of it
@@bartleskeet1623 😏
Guy has gotta own stock in Viagra.
Wait, he's a polygamist now?
That would just make me sad to see it everyday and not drive it!!
He clearly bought it just to say he has 1
DK Engineering is probably 1 of the Top 10 exotic dealerships on the planet. So great hearing him speak of them in such glowing terms. On a side note, all you need to do is see his wife to know he's winning the game of life.
The F40 is retro wave dream car 🤤
Younger wife, strong flex.
I remember doing a few weeks work experience at DK Engineering back in the 90s :)... probably around the time that F40 was being stolen in Italy.
having a car you cant drive is like having no car 🤦🏻♂️
“Significantly”
I have to say stolen exotic stories are like the craziest stories ever!
Some things you won’t expect to happen would actually happen
And here I was waiting to buy a 50$ british pipe bender till the pound went down! lolz
I’m kind of disappointed that an attempt to recover the vehicle wasn’t pursued further...🤷♂️
IMAGINE ACUALLY FINDING AN F40 LIKE GODDAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
