    Just when you thought Mike Burroughs was the most hated Ferrari owner.

    This will be hilarious

    Well, I put 10k miles on my previous weekend car without issue in the year I owned it. It was an 06 viper that was poorly rebuilt by the previous owner. I test drove a 360 and thought it was a blast and got a great deal on it. I've been able to put 8k miles on it in the past 5 years because of how much it breaks. I'm currently swapping it to manual after the F1 system died and appears to have damaged the synchros. I guess once I have the manual swap done we'll find out how much. All I really need to drive is 1st gear and 6th gear lol. Let's put it this way, after 5 years there aren't many parts left of the car I haven't had disassembled to fix something.

    Nice! I’m in between Milwaukee and Madison, so you’re not too far away. We’ll have to roll the cars out this summer and meet up. I’d love to see your car and hear more about what you’ve done to it!

    I see lots of praise in the kids' youtube video saying how much they enjoy his ''zero F's given'' attitude whilst destroying a 400K car.

    I think these kids mistake "zero F's given" with "not knowing the value of a dollar". I've my doubts on the youtube economy longevity or, if that is somehow sustainable, so many of these guys find themselves cancelled for something they've done or said at some point in their live and suddenly can wave their youtube career (and all associated income), goodbye. Not sure he'll be looking back on this video too fondly, then.

    Do with a car what you want, but destroying for the sake of destroying is something so mindlessly stupid I can't support that. I'd say the same if someone bought a house and smashed the windows just for likes on the internet.

    If there is a God... Ferrari will drop a lawsuit on this idiot.

    I'll settle for having him stripped naked and paraded through the streets while people chant "SHAME" and throw their feces at him though.

    Very much aware it's his business model.

    I still believe it's senseless. I would say the same thing if he did this with a mass produced car. I guess it says more about todays' people than anything I guess.
