When he just turned 16 and got his driver’s license, this Miami kid left a note in a Ferrari owner’s mailbox, and it ‘changed his life’ after he received an invitation to see the cars inside.
At 16 years old, Jimmy Farley and his best friend Connor were true gearheads, and their favorite pastime was to drive around the wealthy neighborhoods near his house and look at the supercars people owned.
Jimmy and Connor spotted a yellow Ferrari F12tdf in a local driveway, and the two best friends left a note in the owner’s mailbox to tell the owner how much they liked the supercar.
The owner and his wife read the note and kindly invited Jimmy and Connor to come and see the Ferrari F12tdf, as well as the other supercars in their collection. It was a pure paradise for Jimmy and his best friend.

A kid left a note in a Ferrari owner’s mailbox, and it ‘changes his life’
When you’re a true gearhead, you would never turn down the opportunity to show off your amazing supercars to fellow fans.
Meet Jimmy Farley, a teen who was freshly 16 with a driver’s license, and his best friend Connor. Both boys were obsessed with supercars.
The pair used to drive around the wealthy areas near Jimmy’s house and check out different expensive supercars in the driveways and garages of rich people.
When they spotted a yellow Ferrari F12tdf in a nearby driveway, the two boys decided to write a letter and drop it in the Ferrari owner’s mailbox, talking about how much they loved that car.
Much to their joy, the owner, Benjamin, sent the teens an email telling them how he and his wife first became interested in supercars when they were teens themselves, and invited the boys to come and see his collection.
It turns out that Benjamin didn’t just own a Ferrari F12tdf, but he had many other spectacular cars to wow the teens with.
Their invitation to see the cars inside
Jimmy and Connor went to visit Benjamin and his wife and got to see so many impressive supercars, like a 675 McLaren LT, McLaren Senna, and two Rolls-Royces.
The pièce de résistance was what Jimmy described as a ‘full Ferrari showroom’. Benjamin owned 10 of the most expensive Ferraris around, including a GTO, a Ferrari 458 Speciale, and the Ferrari F12tdf he saw in the driveway.
Benjamin let the teens sit in the cars and experience the amazing feeling of being behind the wheel of a supercar.
Recently, Jimmy received his very own supercar in the form of a Lamborghini Urus, and he emailed Benjamin to tell him about it.
Benjamin responded, telling him that one day, Jimmy might get a note from a boy wanting an invitation to see his supercar collection one day, in a sweet full-circle moment.
