Ford vs Ferrari

[Nick F40]

I need to visit the forum more well you guys said everything I was going to

[seeker589]

Am I the only one seeing a modeling project?

How about an F1 car with a latter rack and cargo bed towing a trailer?

Or a F150 lowered over a F1 chassis with a complex aero package with a F1 motor in the bed.

That said...

We have established that a Ford pick-up cannot do what an Ferrari F1 car can do and vice-versa. How observant we are!

One thing I need to say is that a Ferrari is a frivilous item - I can't think of ONE Ferrari that does anything truely practical. OK - so a 355 might bring a doctor to a hospital to save peoples' lives - an 20 year old Escort can do that!. The Ferrari car company are passion merchants. They sell things to move people's emotions. Some would say that kind of frivilous passionate emotion is a luxury - no more.

The Ford F150 and that family of products help us all on a almost daily basis. Small business owners, hobbiest, home builders, plumbers, lawn care professionals, snow removal operators, Thousands of Ford products, trucks or otherwise, carry people to and from work everyday. Nothing - NOTHING is more nobel than a machine that helps those who own it to keep the world working the way it needs to. That is far from frivilous.

Ferrari - while a valid product that serves some purpose - is more than a little superfluous compared to the great, reliable working truck - regardless of where that truck was made or what the manufacture is.

And it is copyrite infringement. Ford isn't just Ford - it is an international corporation that creates cars and trucks for the markets they manufacture in.

Some say bow to the great Ferrari - I say bow to the work truck!

All this from a Chevy fan and Acura driver!

It's not copyright infringement, Ferrari did not copy designs from a pickup truck on their F1 machine.

It's a trademark dispute. They are very different things.

Ford is still mad that Ferrari would sell to them back in the 60's. thus the creation of the Ford GT40. lawyers r ruining this world. what would they say about us printing our own decals, putting them on our cars and, then putting them on this website? would that be stealing. bet u they say it would be. kinda like dowloading music. things have gotten so petty over what?,,, money.

They both have round wheels. LOL I recall early Ford trucks using the name F-1, kinda similar to F1
