Ever since I first watched the movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off I've been hankering for the 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder. So rare and valuable (Sothebys's recently sold on for $8,580,000 including fees) are these cars I don't expect to be driving one any time soon, let alone giving the keys to the garage to my offspring.Yet we we can live live in hope

It was a classic (movie and car) movie moment when the Ferrari used in Ferris Bullerer's day off went over the edge. In the film, Ferris convinces Cameron to borrow his father's car, the Ferrari. high school senior Ferris Bueller fakes illness to stay at home. Throughout the film, Ferris frequently breaks the fourth wall to talk about his friends and give the audience advice on various subjects.Cameron is dismayed when Ferris takes them into downtown Chicago in the car, to spend the day. Ferris promises they will return it as it was.The trio leave the car with parking attendants, who promptly take the car for a joyride. The trio explore the city, including the Art Institute of Chicago, Sears Tower, Chicago Mercantile Exchange, and attend a ball game at Wrigley Field, while occasionally their paths intersect with that of Ferris' father. Cameron remains uninterested and worried, and Ferris attempts to cheer him up by joining a parade float during the Von Steuben Day parade and spontaneously lip-syncing Wayne Newton's cover of "Danke Schoen", then into a rendition of The Beatles' "Twist and Shout" that excites the gathered crowds.
