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.
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.
As dumb as it was, "Vanishing Point" did it better. Kowalski had a purpose in destroying himself and his car, this numbnuts simply fell victim to the universe.
Here's a thought - let's let all the Ferraris get trashed. Stick with me, I have a point.
You know Marty tells David in Spinal Tap they could simply raise the scale of their amps and have the new highest setting still be ten? "But these go to eleven."
How now if we eliminate all Ferraris, draw a new scale just a bit smaller, and let all the Porsches be the new ten? "But these go to nine."
Moot issue of course, we'd still have Veyrons and Lamborghinis to contend with. Never mind, carry on!
It's a twofer. First the trailing car hit a minivan in its rear quarter, then the loader.
What I know about Bulgaria comes from a mid-fifties Graham Greene report on Albania, that he did for the New Yorker. I thought it was important that you know this. #ferraricalifornia
@Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Yes. For further readings I suggest Edith Durham's "High Albania". Raymond Carver's "Accrsed Mountains" is arather hateful book but still a good read. Any of Ismaïl Kadaré's novels are definitely worth reading.

A quick twenty grand and he can be back out next weekend.

$20K doesn't even get you 1/2 way to putting that car back together.

At least he wasn't driving his Enzo. This is his beater.
