If it truly was just the looks, you could build a fiero to look EXACTLY the same for much less. And you could make it faster too. Really, it is just to show you have the money. Highest priced car I'd ever get would be a viper, but it would cost me the same or more to build another car to look as good as a viper and be as fast, so I'd just buy the real thing. Don't get me wrong, I'd drive a ferrari if I was given one, but they really are a waste of money and are the exact same thing as buying 5 jets or painting a bunch of squirrels with real gold paint just because you can.

I like the viper but I would get a Porsche Turbo instead. Much better daily driver.

There are three ways to do things: the right way, the wrong way, and the Max Power way!
Isn't that just the wrong way?
Yeah, but faster!

That crash was pretty crazy. Although too bad for the guys and too bad for the ferrari, I must say that if you own a car like that drive it like you stole it. Think about it for second you're driving a ferrari need I say more.How could you not want to drive the car the way it was meant to be driven. Just my opinion and really too bad for the guys nobody deserves to get hurt especially in a car.

They play for the Atlanta Thrashers an NHL team. Also most NHL teams send their younger players to play for their minor league team.
Dude, it was sarcasm... commenting on how great the thrashers are....

I'm with Maxx on the Porsche Turbo, although I'm partial to the GT2's and C4's. And what kind of fool buys a Ferrari without knowing how to drive it. Cause if you can't handle it at 80 you shouldn't have anything faster than a Toyota.
I wouldn't mind if someone gave me a 360 though. Hint, Hint, Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge.

And you call yourself an auto enthusiast?

In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.

The problem with America is stupidity.
I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment
for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety
labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

The two most common things found in this world are hydrogen and stupidity. That comment validates that you poses a lot of the latter.
