i can atest to the condition of the car, i saw it in person. it was right beside my gs4 during HIN in april. the 8 miles were only done by gonig on and off the trailer :)

btw, i can't even afford the sales tax :D

It saddens me that many of these super-high-end exotics that beg to be driven hard are never even driven at all.:thumbdn::(

A 2-year-old car with only 8 miles...not good to the engine and the mechanical parts of the car if you ask me.

I guess if you own a car you can do anything to it, and that includes never ever driving it. Sigh..:confused:

Wow.... 28 bids on it... there's a lot of people with A LOT of money. I always thought that if I have a high-end car, I wouldn't be an old fart like my neighbor who drives his corvette 6 times a year (not exactly high-end, but same idea). If it was a 360 modena or a murcielago I'd prolly drive it all the time. However, I dunno... this is a whole new leauge.... only 5 of the roadsters are in existance... and this is 1.8 million... I'd be kinda scared to drive it with all the stupid retarded people on the road out there. Not to mention the stupid retarded condition of the roads! One St. Louis pothole and that front end is GOOOONE. This is an absolutely GORGEOUS car though, I've always liked it better than the McLaren F1 even.

I still just can't imagine that those who bought the supercars don't even drive them.:(

I feel the same way about exotics not be enjoyed enough. These cars need to be driven and driven hard sometimes. If you can afford to own an exotic, why not drive it the way it was designed to be driven. These
cars are specifically engineered to be a race car for the streets, so why do people drive them like Buicks. :confused:

I just checked out the high bidders previous items that he won. A neck tie for under $3, XBox games,
and some blank CD's. It seems odd that he is now bidding on the most expensive car ever built. :uh:

Didn't that thing totally own itself at Le Mans a while back? ALOAC (Auto Lift-Off And Crash) is a nifty feature, though...:D :D :D

Not bad! According to the Ebay calculator, my monthly payments would only be $30K+ on a 60 months note.

looking at how many of the GB have gone we may allowed to smell the tailpipe after it starts.

considering that it only has 8 miles on the odo i'm sure not too many have smelled the exhaust or heard what it sounded like...

the car looks a little funny though IMO
