Ferris Bueller's Day Off — "He Just Rubs It with a Diaper"

"The 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California. Less than 100 were made. My father spent three years restoring this car. It is his love. It is his passion. It is ..."

"... his fault that he didn't lock the garage."

Every young man dreams of owning a fast car, but in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, high school seniors Ferris (Matthew Broderick) and Cameron (Alan Ruck) decide they've grown tired of waiting for the dream to become a reality. Ferris targets the vintage Ferrari so meticulously cared for by Cameron's father, coaxing his nervous friend into throwing that last shred of caution to the wind. Together, the rebels hit the open road, the wind in their hair and their school at their backs, two kids playing hooky in stolen wheels — and feeling like the tallest men on earth.
