they need to stop crashing these things so they don't become rarer... I need to buy one when I get older.

At this rate ... probably there be one left on the planet which will probably be locked away in some vault 36 ft under ground somewhere on the planet.

With that I have a feeling something within the vault will destroy the car.

A distinct possibility. And.....I've said several times, in previous posts, that Enzo Ferrari would roll over in his grave if he knew this car used his first name. Perhaps his reaction was not limited to his own grave.

( Enzo, despite the Ferrari name on his products, did not really care much, in his personal life, for sports, racing, or exotic cars...to him it was a buisness more than anything else. His personal car and daily driver was......get this.......a white Fiat econobox, something that Fiat made an issue of in their advertising. And he went into a depression, after the tragic death of his son, that he never really recovered from, and which left him even more uninterested in cars. )

People need to learn how to drive...period.

I see individuals with high-end vehicles on the road and I can tell you I know kids at my track who can drive a 20 year old VW better than these ****** can drive a Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini and with a lot less arrogance.

If you have the $$$ to get one of these things, learn how to drive and don't assume that we will move out of your way so can have free reign on the highway. You want it, you earn it.

I thought you were one of those who believe that people should get out of the left lane if a faster car comes up behind.

This is becoming all too common of an occurrence.

Large quantities of disposable income do not confer the skills, talent, or simple physical ability to drive one of the most powerful racing vehicles on the planet on a public road. It's a shame really, that money and sense do not necessarily go hand-in-hand. We should be grateful I suppose, that this moron didn't manage to take out several of us proletarians in the process.

Like I said, if they want us to get out of the way, they have to earn it. I do see some people do this properly by going in the far left lane putting on a left turn signal (which is standard operating procedure here, though I don't like it, but it is better than one flashing their brights and reving their engine).

Problem down here is a lot of people want to show off, intimidate or even humiliate people, sometimes even after they move out of the way.

No one has to earn it... Its the LAW in many places. They shouldnt have to flash thier lights... They only flash becasue someone is sleeping in the pasing lane.
