Exotic Car Owners who MAKE ME SICK!
 
So i live in Avila beach, near san luis obispo, california. its a small and affluent community, a college town, with a LOT of retirees. anyways there are a lot of hills downtown. coming down from one and waiting at a stoplight, i saw a nearly 80 year old man driving a brand new ferrari (black.) on level ground he VIOLENTLY stalled the car when the light went green. i mean just butchered it. i could hear the engine cry out in pain and my car weep in sympathy. when he finally made his left turn after a rough take off, he BOTTOMED OUT entering a hill. I OPENED MY DOOR AND VOMITED. i am sick of seeing enzos driven by senile men and porche cabrio's driven by old, sagging women who should be replaced, with young, hot, skillful drivers. the fact that mercedes new ''supercar'' will be offered only as an AUTOMATIC because most of its buyers will be incapable of shifting themselves (let alone reaching its limits) makes me SICK. i've heard of ONE enzo and ONE mclaren F1 drivers who driv thei cars HARD. the majority are beverly hills cock suckers and new york stock brokers who seem to replace their youthfulness and prowess in the bedroom with cars who's limits will never be touched, except their limits at carrying golf bags to the country club so their owners can suck ass at that so-called ''sport'' too. to those who buy these ''supercars'' and never use them, SEE A DOCTOR AND GET SOME VIAGRA. A CARERRA GT WILL NOT CURE ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION OR PREMATURE EJACULATION. and to the sagging women: put the tops back on your convertibles or sell them and visit a plastic surgueon. Those of us who work for our cars and make use of what performance they yield would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance with complying with my request,

- Robert

well i mean they make all those type of cars for ppl over 50. all i want is for ferrari to make a 20k car for the teens thats everything ferrari is about that would be nice :mrgreen: theyd get soooooo much money on it.
look at this 20k * 1,000,000 ppl = well 20,000,000,000 bill , and 330k * 50,000 ppl = 16,500,000,000 bill booyah :D it be cheaper to make 2

I agree with you on all but two points.

- There are Enzos and F1s that are being driven hard. Think Jay Kay and Nick Mason.

- Sagging women do not necessarily have to visit plastic surgeons. People grow old anyway, so let them do it with some dignity. IMO Plastic surgery is only for people with deformations or burned skin etc.

I agrre with you, but I do also with Jay Leno, who says he drives only in special occasions his F1 macca because of the inconvenients you would have if something breaks

http://www.popularmechanics.com/auto...e/index2.phtml

he has the money for fixing or buying a new F1, but you wouldn't drive hard a car that needs very special components like the Enzo (the oil isn't cheap)

maybe what I'm saying is dumb, but those cars are like special collectors' editions. Do you have a collection of something? if you have one, you'll know what is buying something expensive and not using it really much (comics, toys, whatever)

I say you are going to die anyways. You might as well enjoy the hell out of the car. Drive you daily driver nicely and have some damn fun with your sunday sports car. If it breaks, fix it and you can still drive your daily driver. I think "Drive it like you stole it is appropriate."

Garretts_turbo 02-15-2004 10:34 PM

Seeing someone treat a car the incorrect way is painful (especially a new ferrari) but what is wrong with letting someone enjoy their life? young or old, if you can drive (and afford) something and it makes you happy, then more power to you. american dream and all that blah blah.

T-Bird 02-15-2004 11:17 PM

Cornutu you say "Drive it like you stole it" if you stole a car you wouldn't go plowing through the streets drawing attention to yourself you would drive appropriately. Hell Gone in Sixty Seconds even shows that when he raced the Civic in the Porsche he got caught but when they stole the cars and drove them like any other car they get away with it cause the cops don't give it a second look so most of these people do drive them like they stole them... carefully. :wink: :wink:

possessed_beaver 02-16-2004 12:34 AM

yeh, if i stole a car, i would be driving it slow not 2 scratch it, so i could re-sell the parts, or the whole car, hahaha

Yeah, I know I'll die someday, but if I had the half the money of the world and buy lots of cars, I would take care of them, maybe twice a year I would trash an Enzo, EB110, F1, etc. but not more.

the only reason is you take care of the stuff you really care

Dude get over it. There is no requirement to purchase these cars, only cash is needed. Yes you would drive it differently then they do, but they might get pleasure from their cars in different ways. Not everybody has your "skill" as a wheelman. Don't get pissed that they can afford these cars and can drive them any way they damn well please.

dylan99 02-16-2004 11:35 AM

you are two dumbheads, hockeyphreak1 and Anile8er. first of all Ferrari can't and won't ever make a 20k sportscar if you think they can you don't know anything of cars or Ferrari. The majority of ppl who buys supercars are not young but old, therefore they have more money too spend. If Ferrari makes a car for 20k it won't be a exclusive carmanufacture. Not all old ppl can drive but not all young ppl can drive either. Women that are driving convertibles are OK for me so maybe you haven't seen a woman driving a convertible that is pretty. If everybody would have a Ferrari when they are 16 or 18 years old the magic would go away and it is better to work for it and then buy a Ferrari that is the dream of the most Ferrari lovers. They see a Ferrari and later when they have money they buy their childdream.

That's a good point. :) but...
I wasn't referring to the manner of theft that they used in Gone in 60 secs. Those were proffesional cars thieves. Think of a car that you just stole and you were going to ditch it once you had your fun with it. The point is to enjoy it to the full extent. Some cars are collectors, some are not...

skituner 02-16-2004 07:56 PM

AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!!!!!

i_hate_the_enzo 02-16-2004 08:08 PM

well, as youve all probably guessed(if you looked at my screenname), i hate ferraris. nothing against them, i just think they are a waste of power, unless your on a race track...not that im saying dont speed, but you would never be able to really use it to its potential on a street. another thing i have against ferraris are that they look really ugly to me, call me a loon but they dont do anything for me. especially the enzo, im so tired of people saying that the enzo is so incredible, yeah it is, but yet again, why would you want it, its a street legal f-1 car that costs just as much as one, you wouldnt be able to get it into 6th without stalling it out (legally), and as i hope everyone here knows, thats not good for a car, especially a ferrari, because those parts are hand made, and you cant just go out and buy a new transmission for a ferrari at any local parts shop. but as far as the old man in a ferrari goes, if thats what he wants to drive, and hes got the money for it, more power to him. i think that if you are old or young, you should enjoy your life, not be restricted by an automatic transmission.

You are a dumbass. I am in no way saying old people shouldn't be driving fast cars. I am saying that old people who own these cars should not be driving them unless they are to make use of the car's abilities. These is a 70+ year old man in south carolina, a construction who bought an enzo and drives it hard. That's what the car is for. Ferrari engineers don't spend thousands of hours engineering high performance so a stock broker can feel young and attract women. If you're not going to make use of a car's performance, don't buy a high performance car. Use you're money to buy a mercedes. But leave the enthusiasts to drive the ''driver's cars.'' I am tired of losing my opportunity to get a hand on the 996 GT3 because some rich bastard who's senile decides to get the car as a luxury coupe to get him from home to work. Its an insult to the people who made it. And to say that a ferrari should not be driven hard because breaking things is expensive? I KNOW OF VERY FEW FERRARI OWNED WHO ARE CAPABALE OF PUNISHING THEIR CARS THAT HARD. if they don't want to use it because they'll break it, they shouldn't have bought it. They took the place of someone who would have done the car justice.

Leo_M3 02-17-2004 12:48 AM

I can see why it annoys you having these old men and women driving these exotics. But whats better?

That happening or this?
http://www.wreckedexotics.com/newpho...040205_003.jpg

Thats a hard one ay?

I personaly admit that if I had a Ferrari I would be very cautious about driving it. Wouldnt want to scratch my baby!

But of course.....I'll rev it all the way to the redline with that glorious sound! :D (think 355 Spider) :roll:

pimrusis 02-17-2004 02:07 AM

I hate women in BMW's to. I work at a Drug store in a Lawyer town, and you can tell the Bimmer driving bitches when they walk in the door. They are loud, never feel like finding things on their own, never want to cut out their own coupons, and always bitch if they bring up the wrong item and the coupon doesn't work.

P.S. To everyone who uses coupons: Cut the fucking this out before you come up the register, or the clerk will hate you... No matter how much he smiles or says otherwise. WE HATE YOU BASTARDS!

BMW-M-Power 02-17-2004 01:58 PM

It isn't the worst scenario case. I've read about an old Norwegian guy who sold his company and retired. He now lives in a castle on the french riviera and has about 54 cars. Yes you've read right 54!! And not just any car. Everyone is exotic. He has about 20-30 Ferraris. If I find the Norwegian magazine (called AUTOFIL), then I'll scan the pics and translate the article. The man is so lucky!

dylan99 02-17-2004 02:01 PM

The majority of ppl who buys supercars hasn't ever used the full abilities of the their cars. Ppl who have money buys cars for their reasons - beautiful, expensive, impress other ppl, love of cars, etc. - It is not on us to judge that, but I agree with you that they should know how to drive such cars to a certain degree. If I would have one - I love supercars - I would try to drive as hard as possible but i would be very very careful with it. But it goes too far to say if you can't and won't drive the car fast that those ppl shouldn't of bought them. Personally I would like that all owners of supercars would drive their cars really hard all the day but it isn't going to happen and it is unreal to think so and very harsh to supercars that aren't meant to be driven all the day. BTW the 996 GT3 is made to be driven all the day, even the CGT is made to be driven all day. Go to some reviews of the car and the engineers of porsche will tell you so.

I dont know how it is in other countries, but here in Czech if someone have a nice car they are ok, not showing off and so. Of course there are some dicks that acts stupit and arogant but they are at ANY age.

If you see an old man/woman in ferrari, it maybe was his/her dream for 30-40 years and came true, maybe he worked hard to make that money and get that car.
Seeing young sexy chick in some hot car?- yes it is sexy, but almost impossible that she MADE that money and actually BOUGHT IT, so that chick is worthless for me and mostly dont have much in the head :roll:(there are some exceptions of course)

Teens to more harm to beautiful cars than oldpas 8)
