The post of mine that you quoted is the same answer I'd give you as the other guy said.

Everyone's entitled to their opinions, but if it's a negative one, why post it?

If it's negative, why not post it? I believe it's always best to know every angle of the spectrum, so to speak. If you've got toilet paper stuck to your shoe, wouldn't you want somebody to tell you so you don't walk around all day with it there?

That would be helpful wouldn't it?

that's awesome. I saw a lambo the other day. I rarely see nice cars on 95. I see them all around McLane and potomac. This area sucks for sports cars, you can't drive fast because traffic sucks and when you can, there's cops everywhere.

this arguement is not worth my breath. i will believe him. i have no problems. but we have all kinds of crap like that in houston. it can happen you neve know. ill be damned if i do not use an enzo of F1 like that. what the hell is the point of the car if you do not use it for the purpose it was created for.

All i have to say is **** the **** that take those cars and just put them in a glass case, when in reality they were built to run and be on the road!

Here are some pics I took at the 24 hrs of daytona this year. The Enzo was just cruising the infield (as was an audi RS6, the GT2 pictured and many other nice toys).

They are out there.

I can corroborate John Matrix's F1 sighting at 31 Flizavors- I was there too... As far as "only 7 F1 in the US" ummmmm.... There are 25 in this country- 25% of the total production # of 100. Just thought I should slip that in there.

I was shocked when I saw a Mclaren F1 driving on the opposite side (coming towards me) in Irvine, California. There is a ton of rich people in Irvine though. It was the first and only time I seen a Mclaren F1. I made a u-turn at the light and tried to catch up to check it out a little more, but he must've turned somewhere because I didn't find him.

As far as the Enzo Ferrari, I seen one parked outside a restaurant in Newport Beach. It was really nice, black paint. There were at least 20 people around it checkin it out. Some were even touching it. There were even kids with bikes like 2 feet away from it . I would freak out if I were the owner of that car and seen people touching it. Even worse, if one of the kids on the bikes slipped and the bike hit and scratched my car .

Ive seen both cars on the street at different times. We have a big Ferrari dealer near my house. Yet i still have a hard time beleiving that story because those people rarely have their cars out in this crappy weather on I95 no less. I have seen groups of exotics driving together but its in the summer and the guys are usually a- h0les.

If I was rich enough to afford an enzo I wouldnt mind people touching it and gawking. Its not like they are impossible to fix.

There is a totalled Enzo on ebay. $350,000 for a totalled Enzo. That why they buy those cars to have people oogle them.

I haven't seen the F1 yet but I have seen my fair share of Ferrari's. I even saw two Lamborgini's race from a light before. That was bad-***.
