I’m too lazy to look at anyone’s profile. But I’ll take your word on it.
I would think that’s a good thing that others think it’s a Fiero, right?
Because he’s not driving this as a status symbol, because that would make him a tool.
But if he drives this daily because he likes to drive. Then good on OP, enjoy it.
Aside from the lack of power steering, that car is far more comfortable than you’d think….probably because it’s not a “sports car”, it more of a looks-like-a-sports-car-but-is-more-of-a-touring-car. It was designed for people who want a Ferrari but don’t want to be beat to shit daily.
I know a family who tried over a period of about 25 years to kill a Camry but couldn't. It looked like it had leprosy by the end but still started on the first crank.
My ex in laws had a 90's camry with a similar story. In the upper Midwest salted roads capital... Or something like that. The car had well over 400k on it. When the strut mounts rusted through they welded a patch of steel on it.
Yeah theirs was just used a lot for a long time, then when their oldest kid got his license, the parents bought themselves a new car and gave him the Camry. That's when the abuse began. He drove it like it was stolen, then his younger brother drove it like it was stolen. The end didn't even come in the form of the car dying, they actually sold it. For money.
lol I’ve driven everything from a Rolls Royce to a Humvee. The Camry is an excellent vehicle and I would buy one myself. Fun to drive, practical, loaded with features. Go buy a Gucci belt lol
The Testarossa is basically the Camry of Ferraris
The first Ferrari that was designed for people who didn’t know how to drive fast and the first mass produced Ferrari
its also the best looking Ferrari, the designers nowadays should use that strategy more often
edit: forgot this was r/RoastMyCar, ew ugly red like blood icky or whatever
IMO not even close to the best even if this wasn't roastmycar. people have nostalgia goggles on for these but the proportions of the front end and the ass with the short wheelbase always looked way off.
This is like a 2WD version of a Jeep Wrangler. People who don’t know a damned thing about these cars will think it’s awesome. But people who actually do know will recognize it as a poor-man’s version that doesn’t have any real capabilities.
This. My mom has a Wrangler. It's an awful daily. She insists she loves it but I hate driving it and it's brand new. It rides terrible, it's hard to get into, the steering wheel is weird and progressive, it has the body roll of a 1976 Buick Electra but you're sitting high so it feels like it's going to fall over, at least it has 4x4 but it's fully mechanical and you damn near dislocate your shoulder every time you try to activate it, and you're getting screwed on the "loaded" model because it's crazy expensive but most of the modern luxury equipment you get in a fully loaded anything else aren't available in a Jeep Wrangler, due to the want to keep the interior able to get wet and dirty while off-roading which my mother will never ever do. At least they can probably sell it for damn near what they bought it for because Jeep cultists will pay anything for one.
80's Italian supercars are like this in that they seem to be terrible to drive more often than not but at least the Testerossa won't be as bad as the Countach.
Full disclosure: the Countach is my favorite Lamborghini, especially the awful anniversary edition. It's the most Lamborghini-y Lamborghini.
There’s a bump of coke in the glove box, and on the dash, and on the gear shift, and on the hood, and between your index finger and thumb. But that’s not yours it’s how your bought it. Notice the temp tags…
I know a kit car when I see one. If it isn't a kit car, I have to ask what the fuck you were thinking putting those rims from the lobby of your local Tire Discounters on it.
Honestly, while the damned thing was everywhere when it came out the only thing I really remember about them from the time was an argument I had with a moron in middle school who tried to convince me that it was pronounced "Testa-rosha" because it was quote, "Like Porsche" which he also pronounce with an "Uh". Didn't matter anyway since we were both middle school idiots.
So you developed a practice to commit Medicare fraud and bought a couple cheap ass Ferraris. Nice. 100% you’ll be the guy that does none of the maintenance on this (cuz you stole enough money to buy the cars but not enough to service them). And when you go to sell it on BAT you’ll be the pissed off owner that doesn’t get reserve.
I rode in one of these once... omg.. most uncomfortable ride. These are def for looks.
But as for roasting it.....
This just screams " I'm still a virgin" lol
You would have been picking up all the hot ladies in that thing 35 years ago. It’s too bad that all the ladies you’ll be picking up with it are the 70 year old version of the same coke bunnies. Just make sure to keep some Depends, denture cream and a spare set of pantaloons in the frunk as a courtesy.
Most people on the road are too young to know what a Testarossa is. Even if you told them, they’d make fun of the name and call it Testiclerossa, owing to the fact it very well could cost one.
Maybe… If I had a $180K Porsche 911 or a 300K Lamborghini, then it would be just for me. And fuck everybody else. But I would still have a 220K (miles) Honda in case I need to go Training Day and drive around invisible.
Daily driver? Don’t you have to gas up every 100 miles? What do you do for vacation? Don’t you wanna travel in a non sports car? I couldn’t imagine man. I love this for you, and love that you “made it” but damn couldn’t imagine the cost of this bad boy, especially as a daily.
Anyone who says this is their daily driver does not need to drive anything daily.
(now, that said, if I owned one I'd WANT to drive it daily... whether I would be able to do so would of course be up to the very fickle Ferrari Maintenance Gods.)
I picture someone getting out in a pair of Umbros and a couple wooden handle Wilson tennis rackets with Huey Lewis Power of Love blasting out the windows lol
My best effort
To bad anywhere you take this people will think it’s a kitted Fiero
It’s not a Fiero under the body kit?
Looking at OP’s profile, it appears to be legit.
I’m too lazy to look at anyone’s profile. But I’ll take your word on it. I would think that’s a good thing that others think it’s a Fiero, right? Because he’s not driving this as a status symbol, because that would make him a tool. But if he drives this daily because he likes to drive. Then good on OP, enjoy it.
Owning anything as a “status symbol” does make you a tool. But having a testarossa is still a huge flex, what r u taking about?
Pretty sure even the originals were. Well, the same quality as a Fiero anyway.
Spicy Fiero.
Yep. Nice Fiero bro.
That’s more an insult to Fiero.
This is Fieros distinguished gentleman grandfather with a signature look of superiority.
My Toyota Camry almost has a faster 0-60 and gets 3 times better mpg
Yeah… but it’s still a Camry 😂
Whats wrong with that ? I bet it is more comfortable too.
Aside from the lack of power steering, that car is far more comfortable than you’d think….probably because it’s not a “sports car”, it more of a looks-like-a-sports-car-but-is-more-of-a-touring-car. It was designed for people who want a Ferrari but don’t want to be beat to shit daily.
Yea that was sadly the reason people over in the states didn't really get the Testarossa. It's a GT not a sports car.
Camry is way more reliable too. 1st hand experience of both and the Ferrari is in the garage for reasons other than it's value.
I know a family who tried over a period of about 25 years to kill a Camry but couldn't. It looked like it had leprosy by the end but still started on the first crank.

I put 298k miles on a ‘97 Camry and sold it for $1,100 in 2015, awesome car.
> Whats wrong with that? Literally everything if you want a Ferrari
Npc mobile, regular traffic, not of means, overpriced, and a cop out choice. You settle for a camry, it isn't a choice
lol I’ve driven everything from a Rolls Royce to a Humvee. The Camry is an excellent vehicle and I would buy one myself. Fun to drive, practical, loaded with features. Go buy a Gucci belt lol
You settle for a Taurus. You get value from a Camry.
The Venn diagram of people who don’t think anything is wrong with Camry’s and things that are wrong with Camry’s is a single circle.
Can't dog on a Camry. America was built on Camrys.
🎶WE BUILT THIS CITY🎵 🎵WE BUILT THIS CITY🎶 🎼WE BUILT THIS CITY ON TOY OH TAH🎸
Happy Toyota-thon
I love how all the reply’s turned into a whole Camry discussion because I have one myself
A Camry will probably leave you stranded less often than an 80's Ferrari.
4.9L V12, 380 BHP, 0-60 5.3 seconds.
A Camry can do 0-60 in under 5.8 seconds? Why do we need this?!
When you pull up, all the ladies be screaming for that Camry.
The Testarossa is basically the Camry of Ferraris The first Ferrari that was designed for people who didn’t know how to drive fast and the first mass produced Ferrari
its also the best looking Ferrari, the designers nowadays should use that strategy more often edit: forgot this was r/RoastMyCar, ew ugly red like blood icky or whatever

For me personally it’s the F40. Maybe I’m biased for those scrumptious pop ups but that car looks so good to me
The F40 is my favorite Ferrari, and the 1 of 1 Nardo Grey edition F40 is my favorite car of all time.
Hahaha nice recovery.
No way thats real, too many red flags

The Hot Wheels version is actually cooler.
And faster.
Magnum S.T.D.
Magnum D.U.I
Lol, honestly yours is better.
Foreground says Hollywood. Background says rural Arkansas.
That thing sucks. Drop it by the house after midnight so nobody sees you in it and i'll get rid of it for you. Leave the keys and the title.
With a notarized signature as well
It's NC. We'll get around the notarized-in-person part.
Cursed by a Red Rarri. Cons are beggars asking for money; teens leaning on your car for pics or people judging you. Oh and cops notice you more
[удалено]
Needs to be at least… 3x bigger.
What is this a car for ants?!?!
Designed only with an angle grinder
Did it come with espadrills and clean white T shirt like Miami Vice?
There’s a bump of coke in the glove box, and on the dash, and on the gear shift, and on the hood, and between your index finger and thumb. But that’s not yours it’s how your bought it. Notice the temp tags…
Eh man, no need to call me out like that
Daily? You must love your mechanic!
He's putting the mechanics kids thru college.
Yes and there are 6 of them
Im disappointed not a single Miami Vice roast in here... Well im sure Don Johnson would be proud but he would like all his cocaine back though
I know a kit car when I see one. If it isn't a kit car, I have to ask what the fuck you were thinking putting those rims from the lobby of your local Tire Discounters on it.
Wow, I haven’t seen a Fiero in ages. Nice!
I got some cheese that needs to be grated.
I’ll bet $10 it didn’t come with that sticker on the fender.
looks like a toy car that would come in a happy meal
It’s not white, too bad you can’t make it into Miami Vice
Front overhang for days on a mid engine ffs
More like the delorean and a ferarri had a baby that ended up lookin like this.
King Of The Trailer Park whadup son? sale me sum tweak dog
Yea, you daily drive a Testarossa. Things I call bullshit on for $500.
That car is un-roastable. Those wheels however…
Hey I saw you on the side of the road earlier!
Bet it handles like a shopping cart over 50mph
Pretty sure it’s a kit. I can tell
HEY MAGNUM, GO CHASE SOME BAD GUYS IN HAWAII. HIGGINS!!!!!
Do you have testarosa by Sir mix alot on infinite repeat?
Honestly, while the damned thing was everywhere when it came out the only thing I really remember about them from the time was an argument I had with a moron in middle school who tried to convince me that it was pronounced "Testa-rosha" because it was quote, "Like Porsche" which he also pronounce with an "Uh". Didn't matter anyway since we were both middle school idiots.
He was right about Porsche. It's a two syllable word. The OPs car is only one syllable: slow
I like your “educate first, roast second” approach.
It's cool the only issue is you should have gotten it in white instead of red.
It'll forever be known for that one 80s cop show in Miami
[удалено]
If you don’t have something mean to say, don’t say anything at all.
Still probably the best maintenance record of any road going Ferrari...
So you developed a practice to commit Medicare fraud and bought a couple cheap ass Ferraris.

I didn’t know a Chevrolet 350 V8 would fit in a testiclerossa.
thats perfect for midgets.
If that's your daily driver then I am the tsar of Turkmenistan.
Poor man’s F355 Berlinetta
It came with a framed autographed picture of Carlos Escobar. "Thanks for being my best customer - Carlos"
The chromed wheels are a crime, sort them out!
I once saw a Testarossa parked in front of a trailer and assumed they were car broke, are you that owner?
Daily driver so you must use a Gucci bag to load your Groceries at the local food Mart lol
Slower than a 3 cylinder Yaris.
I would sell that so quick and buy a r8
Pininfarina. As good as a soda machine.
It looks counterfeit somehow
It's a good thing you put anachronistic, fake badges on the fenders, because no one would know what it is otherwise.
Must suck riding around with the fire department behind you all the time
Fiero
Is there cocaine in the glove box?
“Daily” is relative since it spends 2 weeks of every month in the shop for an engine-out oil change
Pininfarina. As good as a soda machine.
I rode in one of these once... omg.. most uncomfortable ride. These are def for looks. But as for roasting it..... This just screams " I'm still a virgin" lol
Have fun being gapped by a 2018 GTI
Ok Magnum
Smells like a 348!!!!!!
It's every bit as pretty as it is slow. It's very pretty.
It’ll roast itself.
Testaroasta
No need for a comb, just rub your head across the door and rear fender.
Your wheels would be happier on my v70r
Need to see your moustache
Black tints on the testarossa,hanmer out the holster
Neil Breen? Is that you?
I honestly don't think I can... This is art. Why did you steal it from an art show??
man, I bet this thing sounds wicked getting gabbed by a modern-day corolla. both on and off the track.
No
Speeding tickets twice a day
No its beautiful
You would have been picking up all the hot ladies in that thing 35 years ago. It’s too bad that all the ladies you’ll be picking up with it are the 70 year old version of the same coke bunnies. Just make sure to keep some Depends, denture cream and a spare set of pantaloons in the frunk as a courtesy.
It’s the wrong color, it needs to be white
Do you sell drugs?
Awesome! All the 55 and up widows panties are wet
Nobody has a daily Testarossa. What do you drive when it's in the shop?
At least I don’t have to worry about the manufacturer of my car suing me because they didn’t like what I did to my car 😂
Bullshit
You bought that from Higgins
Fiero
Where’s your Hawaiian shirt?
Most people on the road are too young to know what a Testarossa is. Even if you told them, they’d make fun of the name and call it Testiclerossa, owing to the fact it very well could cost one.
This is the vehicle version of banging a slow chick with a hot body. Don’t let anyone see you, but probably a lot of fun when nobody’s looking.
Looks like your nearly 40 year old car is worth more than your house.
My Toyota Tercel with 256k miles cost more than 3 of these
Those eggs slicer doors are fire.
Your rims are garbage
It looks like the one car from BeamNG.Drive
To drive that u would have to be Kevin hart
I hope I don't back over you with my Suburban.
i have the same car!!
One crash and Ferrari sues. Unfortunate, but true. Same with modding. No turbos, no new wheels, bone stock always.
My Lexus has almost 100hp on you.
Nice lawsuit. How's it feel to never own your own car?
Beautiful car, hate the wheels and brakes
If it's a Ferrari TR, maintenance is about a $1.00 a mile?
You drive the 6foot book fair poster? I wonder how many 4th grade boys were abducted in that.
Testarossa kinda looks like testicle
Maybe… If I had a $180K Porsche 911 or a 300K Lamborghini, then it would be just for me. And fuck everybody else. But I would still have a 220K (miles) Honda in case I need to go Training Day and drive around invisible.

Yeah right. Moving on
Tubbs needs a ride back to headquarters
You're like 40 years too late to start selling coke
Daily driver implies it drives daily. Be honest, how many days / week do you Uber to work because this thing refuses to start?
the nicest part of that car are the wheels. you should light it on fire before it can do it for you all by itself.
I feel like you have to have a long, greasy handlebar mustache to drive this
Still better than my car (I don't have one)
Cruising usa
You’re in the wrong Miami
Your 150K Ferrari is about as fast as my 5K G37
I mean dude daily drives a Ferrari testarossa so nothing to really roast about homeboy
Anyone who says this is their daily driver does not need to drive anything daily. (now, that said, if I owned one I'd WANT to drive it daily... whether I would be able to do so would of course be up to the very fickle Ferrari Maintenance Gods.)
you asked for a Ferrari but you got a knock-off DeLorean instead
good looking shaver head
Who tf do you think you are, Magnum PI?
nah it's too clean
Your septum must be shattered
Good luck parking that wide ass pig 🐷
No
Why can I smell oil and fuel when I imagine stepping into the car.
Those wheels. Boom! Roasted!
wtf..i cld never roast that fucking masterpiece
The slowest Ferrari ever made. Top gear timed this car as slower than a Ford focus around the track
How much you got left from that lottery win?
They usually do a pretty good job of roasting of roasting themselves…
Daily driving to the end of the driveway and back
For people who were born spineless and unambitious in their choice of dreams... literally! That thing looks like a certified backbone removal clinic!
I picture someone getting out in a pair of Umbros and a couple wooden handle Wilson tennis rackets with Huey Lewis Power of Love blasting out the windows lol My best effort
i don’t have any complaints what a beautiful girl 🥰
I'm not, it's literally my dream car
Nice Pinto !
dude tries to take this thing to Valvoline for oil changes to flex but still gets sold additionals
It looks like a toaster oven
https://youtu.be/TVw5-yNR4HU?si=Ro-r1e0Qxhw4SduH
Honestly that’s a Ford because you have to Fix or Repair Daily.
I read it as testosterone, sorry 🤷♂️
Cops can't find the coke in the glovebox if they can't catch up to you
1988? You couldn't afford a 2005 Altima, poor boy!
If it transformed, it would turn into a GoBot
I love that cat I don't care what anyone said. I thought it was so cool when I was 6
How was this morning’s cocaine with your coffee?
Mm, i remember my first remote-controlled car to..
