The Story

Ferris Bueller is a wise-cracking high school student from the fictional suburb of Shermer, Illinois (located close to Chicago, Illinois), who decides to take a day off from school for a little fun by pretending to be sick. As Ferris says “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop to look around once in a while, you could miss it.” To this end, Ferris convinces his best friend Cameron to take his father’s 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California out for a spin, despite the fact that Cameron’s Dad has so little trust in him he has recorded the car’s mileage on his wrist (Ferris makes the promise to erase any miles they put on the car). Using the Ferrari as a high-class prop to give his masquerade as his girlfriend Sloane’s father (Mr. Peterson) credibility, Ferris tricks the high school principal, Ed Rooney, into thinking her grandmother is dead, and the fun is just beginning….
