Mr. James - don't mind the haters here -- if you need someone to hand wash/wax/vacuum your cars DAILY let me now....of course I'd have to drive them around the block as well...just to make sure they are running ok

Mike, I'm happy to take people for rides. I'm a car guy first so I have fun going out for a run somewhere. I put 10,000 miles on the LP640 Roadster in less than two years in a Seattle climate! I'm hardcore!

I don't know if I'll make the February 6 run or not in OC, however Lambo guys are all fairly nice and are happy to fill an open seat in something.

my brother is quite the opposite he has I think less than 1500 miles on his in over 2 years. With his monthly payments almost around $5500 per month, I have no idea why he bought the car. "I guess to each their own"

That's really common but it doesn't actually help the resale all that much. The biggest single expense in exotic ownership is usually depreciation. If the LFA arrests that, it will become a model for other exotics, but demand still has to be there for any exotic even in the used market.
