to that guy. That, ladies and gentlemen, is how you drive a million dollar super car. Did you see the smile on that guys face towards the end, that's what these cars should do to you, leave your cheeks sore from smiling not giving u high blood pressure when it rains, once again to that man...

Eh- i can agree to an extent. The car should be driven- like the 6 hours he went to the track, but running it on the track under slippery conditions was stupid. He simply threw $5k down the drain and didnt really get a good track experience.

I loved this part:

"You already have an Enzo, so why did you get this car?"

"Well, because it's a Maserati and it has more heritage - but I love Ferrari too"

must be nice to make $600k decisions like that.

if he has the money to buy it, he has the money to fix a few bumps and stuff. why buy a car if you can't afford to drive it or repair it.

cars are probably one of the worst investments as it is, so if you just let it sit there, it is just losing value a little more slowly. i give a to him, but i wish i knew someone like that, maybe he'd buy me an echo that i can go play bumper cars with.

Bad ass-nice to see someone use the car for what its made for. I wish I could find the video but it was a Top Gear type show, testing the Carrera-S. They drove it through 4 foot snow drifts, just to prove the car was made for the bad weather and wouldn't slip. Best part of the whole video was a helicopter shot of this guy hauling ass down a snow covered stretch of some road. The snow plume behind him was awesome.
