    If you want a Ferrari, you want a Ferrari. Personally though, I'd be happier with a cheaper car with more brainpower of its own to avoid getting overly intimate with walls and obstacles. Not so bad that it drives itself for you of course, but something like a LanEvo that will apply the brakes and torque judiciously to help you steer where you want to go.

    But like I said, I know that if you want a Ferrari, that's all that matters, regardless of how unforgiving it may be to imperfect drivers.

    Ferrari 360's seem to have a tendency to run into walls, as does the one in this video.

    Before the Ferrari are two neat burnouts.

    Could it be the richer you are, the worse at driving you are?

    By this logic, Bill Gates probably never drives period, while some random homeless person in Anybigcity USA could probably be the ten times F1 Champion...if someone gave him/her a chance.

    That is not a Herman Miller chair.

    That is the single greatest piece of furniture ever created. It is the Eames Chair. Herman Miller sells it.

    It is the most comfortable thing ever created.

    @VeeArrrSix: Besides of the chair discussion (interesting as it is), that is also not a Ducati but a classic Suzuki GSX 1100 S Katana.

    I'm almost glad it's a Jap bike, owning exclusively expensive Italian machinery can seem a bit strained and poseresque.

    Nice concept. Could use some workshopping.

    And I hope that glass and enclosure has a one-hour fire label. Sprinklers much?

    @livinlvis: Check your building code and get back to me. One hour fire separation between different uses required.

    A garage doesn't have to be rated, but a shared wall/floor/ceiling between a garage and a living space does require a fire rating. Most circumstances manage it fine with a little drywall and most folks would never notice.

    That whole place looks a little too Ikea Showroom to have a Ferrari in it. I'd suggest a Saab Sonnet III or maybe a Volvo P1800ES. I suppose a Koenissegg would count, but just barely.
