These cars aren't really designed to be driven. After a km or two, you'd be so damn uncormfortable all you'd be thinking about is where to pull over. Don't get me wrong Ferrari does make cars that can be driven, but the supercars (Enzo, F50 et al.) are not in the category. EDIT: I put about 500km a year on my GTO, and its not even in the same league as an Enzo. [ 07-10-2003, 06:50 PM: Message edited by: Animal ]

The Bentley is a supercar that can be driven, is meant to be driven, and is a pleasure to drive. Anyone rich enough to buy a hideously expensive car like the F50 and use it as a stationary ornament deserves to have all their cash given to some worthy cause. Like me. Why buy a supercar if you're only going to use it as a supercar shaped vase? The Bentley wins again [img]smile.gif[/img] Damn, maybe I should get a consultant's fee off them, for all the advertising i'm doing for them [ 07-10-2003, 07:31 PM: Message edited by: Bardan the Slayer ]

I know one day I will own a Ferrari......
maybe not a brand new one...........but I will own one. That Enzo wallpaper I had on my PC for ages...... The new F360 Modena is amazing.......pure amazing. Lambo's are also amazing, the new Gallardo (0-68mph in 1st gear!!!) is also amazing! I'd rather have a Ferrari tho....... I want a Testarossa in about 8 years or so, get it fully cleaned up, stick a private plate on it, and if its good nick it will then look like new. The only thing that dates a Rarri is its plate, so just get a private one.

Ferrari VS Lamborghini
Winner= FERRARI! My favourite car is the Ferrari F40. It was made in the late 80's but is still very stylish, even today! Just look at it! [img]smile.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/cool.gif[/img] [ 07-10-2003, 09:40 PM: Message edited by: GokuZool ] |

Your missing one important factor. The Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, McLaren's are a statement. It's about being able to say, "Look, I have an obscene amount of money." Why buy a supercar if you're only going to use it as a supercar shaped vase? Just for that reason, for the collectibility. Why do people collect stamps? It's not like you can use them anymore. It's the same principle for collecting cars, just on a bigger scale. I enjoy my cars. I own a GTO, Pantera and I just picked up a 46 Ford today. I rarely drive them, thats what my Cherokee is for. I guess you just have to be a "car guy" to understand. [img]smile.gif[/img] Oh, and by the way. Buying an F50 or an Enzo would do amazing things for the...ahem...shall we say proportions of the male anatomy as viewed by the females of our species.
