my uncle drives his Ferrari 612 to work everyday. It is black and has spoiler scrapes, and a 6spd. I think it's pretty cool that he uses it as a DD.

again, it's their money, none of your business. maybe he/she might enjoy "looking" at it. though i'd never do that.

Complete waste to buy a vehicle and stick it in the garage.

Credit to those who stick 20-30k Miles on their rides. It is their to be enjoyed. It is after all what you bought it for. Right?

I put 25k per year on my Mazda3, another 20k on the C-240

I agree, why buy a car to leave it in the garage? Cars shouldnt be an investment

Good god guys! If you have no problem putting 20k/year on a Ferrari, by all means... go ahead! Practice what you preach, otherwise don't spew out idealogical garbage.

Let the other guys "miss out" while they look at their cars, who cares?

I know someone here who drives theirs every day. I believe he has close to 30k on his f430 while his M5 has like 1k.

Don't worry about it bro let all the people who don't even own a ferrari preach about what they would do if they did it's entertaining at least.

When I was 15 some friends and I were at a parents cabin skiing. That night we ran around causing trouble, around 11:30pm we are within eyesight of the lodge, here comes a New yellow 355 with temp tags on it. Driving through snow and all, guy in a suit gets outs and heads straight into the lodge. We gather around and are getting thrilled by this, it had Pirelli snows on it and temp tags from DC.

That set a tone for me that cars truly are to be driven. To this day that is the most baller thing I have ever seen. I can see the guy ordering his 355, telling them to put snows on it, and driving the car.

I have a picture of it from that night at my Dad's house, Ill have to dig it out and scan it.

Personally I could never drive a ferrari daily just based on the level of attention it draws .

Yeah that's the other thing, you will not have traction at all in the rain. Sure you can put it in wet mode but you are just like wow this is pointless plus the windshield wipers suck.

Does he happen to have a Black Enzo and lives in Naples by any chance?

I met a really nice gentleman here at a local Ferrari show who actually drove his Enzo from Utah all the way to Naples. Ridiculous, I have astronomical respect for him. That is AWESOME!
