If you were thinking about picking up the Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder replica used in the filming of Ferris Bueller's Day Off, you may want to think again. None other than Ferris himself – Matthew Broderick, that is, the actor who played the title role – has a thing or two to say about to car that catapulted him into stardom.

The movie prop replicar, reportedly built atop an old MG, is heading shortly for the auction block. Quoted in New York magazine from the red carpet, however, at the debut of longtime friend and former co-star Nathan Lane at the opening of The Addams Family, Broderick recalled that the car was "unreliable" and "often didn't start". So to paraphrase his famous line form the movie, even if you have the means, he would not highly recommend picking one up.
