When I saw it, I had to smile - because I remember that wonderful 1980s movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off". For me, one of the best movies from that decade.
The house is owned by the father of Cameron, the red-shirted geek friend of Ferris Bueller. It's going for $2.9 million - well, $2.3 million in USD. It doesn't include the Ferrari (damaged or otherwise). I won't mind buying the house, but I think I'm a few hundred dollars short. Hahaha!!
Ferris Bueller house for sale

It is the house where Ferris Bueller and his long-suffering friend send a prized Ferrari crashing through a wall and into a ravine.
Now the secluded Chicago-area home made famous in cult teen comedy Ferris Bueller's Day Off is up for sale for $2.9 million.
"There's been a lot of interest in it already," estate agent Meladee Hughes, from Sudler Sotheby's International, said.
The 490sqm, steel-and-glass house sits on a platform on the edge of woodlands at Highland Park, just north of Chicago in the US state of Illinois.
But what viewers of the 1986 movie will remember most is the glass garage where Ferris (Matthew Broderick) and partner-in-crime Cameron Frye (Alan Ruck) try to turn back the odometer on a Ferrari so Cameron's father will not know they used his prized sports car.
The plan goes horribly wrong when the car crashes off the garage and into the ravine outside.
Ms Hughes said the four-bedroom, four-bathroom house still had a wall dedicated to the movie, including behind-the-scenes photographs of Ruck and Broderick.
The house where Bueller staged his sick day is in Long Beach, California.
