I do agree with him that cars, no matter how expensive, are meant to be driven. A perfect specimen of any car sitting in a museum might as well be a plastic model. Real cars belong on the road (or track).

That's my kind of guy. I bet he enjoys his super cars MUCH more than those that buy them just to let them collect dust.

Good for him.. at least he is having fun with a mill plus, and he has an enzo... very nice.


I cry when my lexus gets a paint chip, he has paint chips on a mill car.... envy him.

he's one of those "it's just a car" enthusiasts. Reminds me of this chick that I met at a gas station that has driven 20k mile within the first month in her brand new Audi S4.

A big to him. Why sit around and wait until the car appreciates? I could never enjoy watching my car sit in a showroom for years and years.

There is one thing about driving and enjoying your car, but there is also plain old wasteful/reckless behaviour.

Driving a super car with probably racing tire or at least the highest summer "zr?" speed rated tire is silly in snow. Lets be glad he crashed on the track and not on the streets.

It did look fun as hell though
