Drivers?

I like your style

 

2009 scud with almost 4k miles
2008 430 spider with 10k miles
2004 CS that I've put 4k miles on this year

and these cars are parked more than my others.

 

Yeah, I actually work at the Four Seasons- and when we're busy I end up having to park cars... I check the mileage on some of the more exotic vehicles and it's always ridiculously low... other than with you guys, I'm not really around exotics, and I know most of you drive them. (Where else can you find 3 SV's within 10 feet of each other on a given Saturday?)

Let's say you buy a $150k car at 48mnths. The way I see it is you paid $50k for that car this year, alone... and yet you only drove it 1500 miles? You're paying like $30 a mile to drive the thing... not to mention insurance, etc...

I guess it goes the way Roy has always said

If you want to look at one, buy a poster.

I bought my 355 in July 2008--she had 5 owners and a total of 18k miles.

She now has a tad over 25k on the clock--and I'm only home 5-10 days per month!!!!

I am one of the most anal retentive bastards when it comes to things looking "new" and organized. To be honest, though, after 7k glorious (S)miles, rock chips don't bother me in this car like all the other nice cars I have owned (No FCars, though).

It can be repainted...it ain't gonna decrease the value of my car to have the front bumper repainted a few times over the years I plan on owning her.

 

lol. I guarantee the only thing Wilson read was " ...two hot chicks stacked in the passenger seat!"


Every mechanic I have ever talked to has said the same thing, "you do more damage to a car by letting sit with no use at all."

 

It is a FRIKN CAR!!!

AND it will go 100K plus miles..I GUARNTEE you

Approaching 9K miles on my 2010 LP670-4SV, Delivered late July 2009..If I dont break 20K on it by this years end, I will be highly disappointed in myself...

OR the correct summer "Elf" has landed in my pool!! LOL

 

The problem is that perceived 10K limit. Somehow magically you car becomes worthless. NOT. Our F car will get about 5K miles this summer in two weeks time. And oh God, it will go over 10K by quite a ways.

 

I got my 355 5 years ago and have put 8000 miles on it. If I didn't work 80 hrs /wk It would be 80,000 I love driving it and since it is always raining on my days off it seemed silly to get a spyder. DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT !!!

 

They're cars.....drive them! That's what they were made for.

 

Most Ferrari owners have more than one car. If you have 5 cars, rotate them evenly, and drive 10,000 miles per year, that's only 2,000 miles per year per car. And most people don't rotate them evenly.

 

In the words of James Glickenhaus (Napolis);

"Not putting miles on your Ferrari is like not having sex with your Girl Friend so she'll be more desirable to her next Boy Friend."

Don't forget, there are those that DO drive the hell out of their cars...............with the odometer unplugged.

 

I've put 15K+ miles on mine in 6 years. And that was with it apart for probably at least three years of that! Been down all winter again this year but hope to have it back on the road before long.

 

I drive mine everywhere. Murcielago I have put 18k miles on in almost 2 years, Bentley 25k miles in 2.5 years. 430 4500 miles in 4 months. plus my daily drivers about 30k between them annually

 

Wow, you drive more in one year than I've driven in my entire life.

 

Yep there were a few long distance trips involved as well but my business I put 150 a day on at least seeing clients

 

OMG...Mike, do you seriously take the Murci on client runs??? LoL

I think only 1, maybe 2 of my clients know that I have a Ferrari.

Funny stuff!

 

Why? Are you ashamed of your sucess..??

 

It's funny how some clients are happy to see you successful while others suddenly feel that you must be overcharging them if you can have something like that.....

 

Over 26K km in 4 years and been up and down the coast three times. This month's NWR-FCA calendar shot shows #05082 in the San Diego desert.

 

I drive the cars as much as possible. My 328 has 87K miles and the 308 GT4 has 54K (I think). My problem is that I don't really drive that many miles, so I tend to put six or seven miles on a car when I take it out to pick up my daughters or groceries, etc..

But I'm solidly in the Glickenhaus/Cats camp.

 

I took my 328 to Costco, Home Depot, Starbucks and many other places.

People here in the NW are very nice; I noticed people just watch it from a distance.

Mileage is really not a devil; it helps demonstrate how well the car has been maintained.
