it's kinda heart breaking for me to see the California burnt out like that. Especial after seeing the Megafactories Ferrari Factory episode on the National Geographic Channel. Sooooo much work goes into building a Ferrari, so much craftsmanship and attention to detail. If you haven't seen the episode it is a must for any car aficionado.
I think what rubs most members the wrong way is the type of driver many of us have seen in a Ferrari or other exotics. The word douche-bag comes to mind. More money than brains, and an ego the size of Siberia. However, this is a completely natural feeling for a true car lover. Enzo Ferrari himself loathed the wealthy. He was in fact disgusted that they wanted to buy the brand and not the car. He only sold the road cars to finance his true passion, Formula 1. Lucky for us, he left a legacy of some truly amazing cars.

Gotta agree to someone's earlier comment:
one of my favorite things is pull up to an intersection, and have someone in a Porshe or something give my car the long look, and say "nice car"... You know 2/3 of them have no idea what it is, but it is something exotic and sexy.
Enjoy your ride

Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas, and oil, we have decided to turn off the light at the end of the tunnel. We apologize for any inconvenience.
