Default 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 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 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."

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.
