    Well, in my opinion, they probably feel the Enzo deserves a little more protection than the other cars. I am not saying it's right (or wrong, Carbon).

    Bodyguard was there when I was there (without black Enzo) I never saw the Enzo. I assumed that it was only for a certain group, not just any exotic. my friend and I in a Murci roadster and a Diablo Roadster drove by and weren't invited to park. We were not deemed worthy :) We parked across the street.

    the person who used to own an Enzo here ( drives a 599 now, put the Enzo up for sale ), he's a really cool chap. doesn't mind ppl taking pics with the car, etc. he let a kid sit in once, and, i asked his permission, and i sat in the Enzo myself. really cool chap.

    has a bunch of other Ferraris too.

    IMO, it's just something u have to put up with when u drive a supercar. no big deal. putting a guy with a suit and tie won't help anything. give him an apron, and give him a job at Starbucks, at least he'll learn to make a few types of coffee.

    I guess this is the other end of the spectrum.

    If people respected the property of others, which we all know doesn't happen anymore, then cars wouldn't need to be protected as such!

    that others with considerably more expensive cars are willing to actually drive them versus covet them....which begs the question, "do you own the car or does it own you?" Personally, I really give a "hat's off" to those that own and drive their valuable and very rare cars.

    Just an opinion and as they say....."just like a$$_oles, everyone's got one".

    nice shot Kevin. I knew you would be the one to post the picture, you seem to always be in the right place at the right time. Did you happen to get any shots of it from the rear? If so, could you maybe post one or email one to me? Thanks

    Last month I saw a black Enzo parked in the gravel on the side of PCH across from a restaurant on the East side of Malibu. That was a random spot (albeit in Malibu, but just in the dirt on the side of a highway?).

    when i have my enzo in vegas i awalys have one of my security staff watch the car, people have zero respect and want to sit on it for pictures, they will never make in a life time what the car is worth but its fine for them to put their fat asses on it and scratch the paint for a picture at my expence, before I had $$$ and would see cars I wouldnt touch a car that wasnt mine. Its bad in Vegas with the drunk tourists or rednecks on the local level. In LA at a few resteraunts like the Ivy or Spago I leave it up top in the Valet because I know them and there is no problem, In carmel I AWALYS have a plain cloths guy watch the car or a friend. Believe me when you own an Enzo its alot of responsibility,


    As far as the 10 million dollar cars its different because the paint isnt perfect and they track them so it dosent matter as much and most people dont know what they are so there is less attention(i hate the attention), the new shiny cars draw the problems, it aint about an image its about protecting my property, just like my guards at my house all night and the .45 on my bed incase someone gets past my guards, some people dont plan on failing, they fail to plan. Me I protect what I have and myself and wouldnt hesitate to pop a cap in anyone who would attempt anything. That aint an image its just smart.

    its not public domaine its covering your ass, a good looking girl out in the streets isnt there to get raped, i will show and share my Enzo or any car I own for that matter to anyone, but I'll be damned if I'll let them scratch up the paint, or rape my girl because she is hott.

    haha I understand your prob. Had cats on my softtop & hardtops, made bed, scratched & "soiled" it. The worst part is someone from another neighbourhood feeds them @ night. I want to them them to try keeping these scums @ home.

    I love when my car is freshly washed only to go out the next morning and find little paw prints from the trunk to the hood...oh, well. Daily driver sacrifices.

    While I haven't heard this rumor, there is a line in one of new song that states: "First It Was The Benzo, Now Im In A Enzo."

    I understand that Eric, but thats not the way it went down. its a public street, and being told to move on, or step away from the car is different than ' please look but don't touch!" I don't have an Enzo, but I've got a fairly significant collection, and I just don't treat people that way. from what i've seen in your posts, neither would you. Theres a right way to do it and a wrong way. Reminds me of a story, last year I was at dinner at Joe allens on south beach and rosie o'donell was sitting at the corner table. She had a bodyguard telling people, don't LOOK at rosie! (as if anyone would want to!)

    it's a fact that 98% of the public love and admire a classic piece of art and will respect it........ but there are a hand full of d/heads that do not understand that these cars are to be looked at only .. ok admire it take all the picture you want next to the car... but for **** sake why do they want to sit on ot.... lean against it... you just feel like slapping them .......... one time i was getting into my car this guy come's up to me says ... hey mate!! can my son stand next to your car so i can take a picture .. sure i said no worries and let the kid sit in driver seat .... the smile on that kids face was priceless......... from ear to ear same smile i had on my face when i was his age and sat in my first ferrari............ hey if having someone stand next to your million $$$ car and guard it no matter how over the top people think then bollocks to them.....it's sad but you gotta do what you gotta do if puts your mind at ease

    The guard is to compensate for his small penis and overly inflated ego.
