The fun runs out when Ferris and Cameron realize the Ferrari has too many miles. After a failed attempt to reverse the miles on the vehicle, the Ferrari is driven off into a ravine destroying the car. Ferris makes it home just in time to avoid Rooney. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is a success as Rooney is picked up in humiliation by the school bus.
