    Jim, The thing I like about your cars the most is that you actually use them as they were intended. I try to follow that philosophy myself with about 35,000 miles on my 308 in 3 years. Live in Maryland. Bought the car in Houston, Tx. First car I've ever owned that cost more than $15,000. Flew to Houston with my 12 year old son and drove it back. Took three days. The second day we drove 1000 miles. Took at least a week to get that initial grin off my face. It comes back every time I walk into the garage even now, three years later. As you can tell by my house in the background, I do have my priorities. Bob

    i think the most miles i have seen on a ferrari is the 308 that Andy and i just got done figuring out the alternator that has 178,000mi with one owner.

    The owner certainly enjoyed the car.

    Got the F50 back from service over the weekend. Weather was beautiful so took it out for a long drive across the countryside. It truly is an amazing car, extremely well balanced, neck snappingly fast, and always an event to drive.

    Beautiful Shot! Meg and I drove her Turbo Cayenne about 700 miles this weekend on a mini trip to visit our daughter. We did a lap of the original Watkins Glen GP track, rode some horses and stayed in a great Inn. We encountered a touch of snow. That is a great truck for a road trip.

    Thanks Jim. A good friend who owns a Barchetta just bought his wife a Cayenne. She didn't like the big nature of it much I think so he kept it himself and got her an Audi. He loves the Porsche and is quite impressed. Bob

    Jim, we got a 2009 GTS to replace the 04 Cayenne S, these cars/trucks are very impressive and sophisticated. We were offered a Turbo at a very good price, it was all black interior and seemed a little dark. The dogs dont care about the extra power, they are more concerned with seatbelt flavor, seem to like the tan.Drove it to LA and back Saturday, about half the milage you covered....good for what we do with it. Malcolm

    Unfortunately our friend J.R.'s F50 is no longer. You're right about it never getting out much... and once it did it took out its rage on a rather unprepared gent.

    **For some reason Borat comes to mind... "la la la la laaaa! you will never get this! you will never get this! and then he break out his cage -- and he get this."**

    Not correct. The Rupert family F50 is in process of being repaired.

    Does anyone here know / own the Enzo with the highest miles in the world?

    'Maybe one day...' will happen faster if you make it an actual goal. Think it, say it, do it!

    And your current ride? I think it's worth what you value it at. Afterall, you're doing much greater than majority of the people. I'm happy for you...

    There is another F50 that gets used even less. The F50 you refer to was used a bit by its infamous previous owner...

    If I recall correctly Manuma's Enzo (he's also an Fchatter) has over 100K kms (+/- 60K miles). I think he also said that they were mostly track miles.

    Drove both Dino Competizione and P 4/5 yesterday. The weather was fantastic. A lot of cool car out and about.
