Riding it hard

People who buy exotics to show off their income are morons. If you got it, beat it.

I agree somewhat. Even if you have the means to drop on say a Ferrari for examples sake, high end exotics do not like miles, I forget the exact mileage but at that point car goes back to Ferrari they pull the whole engine do all the necessary work on it and send it back. All at a price tag that I'm sure would make most people think twice DD'ing a car like that. They should absolutely be taken out and driven like they were meant to, but maybe at a less than daily occurrence.

A Ferrari and the like is really status symbol if you ask me. And no, I ain't hatin' cuz you drive a Ferrari and I don't. I highly doubt most of the people who can afford them are avid drivers who could even drift around a corner.

I remember certain Ferrari models, I think the F50 and F40 had a stipulation that you had to have owned a Ferrari(s) prior to purchasing this one. In other words, you had to have experience w/ high performance, high end cars prior to buying this model regardless of how rich you were. I guess Ferrari wanted to ensure that owners didn't smash them so that they'd exist for a long time.

Here's why:
