One Can Only Dream

[Steve Williams]

I told my wife I want one of these for Father's Day

Cool Car.

It just screams "Kidnap me and hold me for ransom."

[Steve Williams]

or you can wreck it or drown it and see if your insurance covers the $2.2M price tag





all to hear the sound of the engine on start up

I know a lot of these cars come with driving lessons, but an amazing number seem to be wrecked/piled up shortly after purchase.

A friend of my wife's from work spent years saving up for a multi 100k porsche. He took it out the first day, wrapped it around a tree, and is now parapalegic.

A depressed internet exec committed suicide several years ago in his Lamborghini by driving it into a tree on Foothill Blvd. close to our neighborhood's intersection, the tree is still chunked and you can see the skid marks.

One wonders if the dream comes with a curse.

Here's why Carl

100 bhp

Top speed of 250 mph

Air intake by the turbo is incredible

All for $2.2M

It's computer-limited to 253 mph because, "above that speed, stability could become a problem." Uh huh.

There's a you tube video of a Japanese doctor driving his Ferrari at incredible speeds over some narrow roads, just crazy. He was later ticketed. If the exhilaration of the vehicle is such that it puts you into a trance that transcends common safety, then kills you or somebody else, there should probably be restrictions about who can buy them and the training they need to use them. Of course, the James Dean death trip may be part of the charm.

I just sent this link to a Japanese colleague in Japan. He seemed quite shocked.
