    Stupid. He never even got the chance to have fun with it and he's selling it. What a waste of money.

    GVWR is Gross Vehicle weight RATING.... i.e. how much weight the vehicle is rated to CARRY, not how much it weighs. In other words, if the car weighed 2800 lbs, then it could carry six hundred pounds(3400 - 2800 = 600) of passengers/luggage.

    You think they are coming to see my F40 ? LOL

    a friend of mine did some research on Hurricanes, Seems 1933 was the worst year when FL got nailed 13 times in 1 season

    By the way, Hurricane comes from the Central American Indian God HURIKAN who I guess was a Fiersome Pizzed Off dude

    Any of you guys who feel like your F40 isn't getting driven enough, let me know and I'll be happy to come by and help with that. I can be persuaded to drive your other Ferraris too if you're really desperate.

    It's easy to say when you've got $$$'s to burn. I can respect the position of someone who pampers and protects a valuable asset of any sort because the relative value of the object is high. The same goes for rare auto like an F40.
    I pleased and delighted that the guy who owned mine before me did just that. I got a great car in superb condition. I drive my cars...all of them. Even the 99.8 scoring ones like my E-type. But I have developed a healthy disrespect for $$$'s. It took a lot of years of hard work, but now I can afford to say that I don't care about the money. But I really understand anyone who cannot see it that way.

    I just can't. To buy and drive Ferrari should evoke and satisfy a deep visceral passion to drive. To worry about it's value/mileage etc, then why bother owning it? Unless it's a museum peice. As Will so aptly put, the true value is in the use and enjoyment.
