    I can’t figure out how someone could drive a super car 14000 miles in one year reasonably.

    I’m saying under reasonable circumstances it would be really difficult. I drive my cars and I’m lucky to get more than 3-4 k miles on them because I have a life to live.

    I knew you had one. I recall seeing the various cars on the lift over the years. I figured you could slide another one in. I am installing two lifts in a detached two car garage. I pretty much know that nothing else will fit at that point, but cars. I’m ok with that. At some point, you probably will be too...lol.

    I’ve got 4 bays in the garage. A double and two singles. The lift is in one of the singles. I could add another in the other single- but honestly I really want a pimp man cave. Have talked about building another house but we love our place and kids are off to school so the thought up getting up and relocating is not something we want to do.

    basement garage will be relatively cheap. I think I can do it all for under 200k. Hopefully a lot less. Working with architect now for planning and approvals. Let’s see where it goes. 4 car capacity, 2 tandem cars. Painted white with a red accent wall. White tile. Lots of lighting. A desk to work and a sofa to take naps. :). Excited.

    I think you should get Ferrari to make you your own car.

    Friend of mine converted part of his basement to a garage, more like a showroom and it is awesome. That gets my vote.

    God willing maybe some day. Need a lot more net worth to make that happen. I’m small time compared to many out there. :)

    Only need about 5 Million I was told. It just has to have one of the current engines. Surely there are many here that would blink at 5 Million. Not me but for whats its worth if I won tatts my first flight would be to Ferrari.

    Interesting response. So I assume you want a carbon tub and a N/A engine. It already exists. If you have the means and want to drive the car why not a LA FERRARI. Ticks the boxes. You should be so luck that your left hand drive as they were only made that way.

    918 as well. A lot of similarities between 458 engine and 918 engine. They even sound similar.

    For sure Laffer.
    Have driven 918 and not the biggest fan. Too “Porsche perfect” if you know what I mean. Not special enough.

    True but the LaFerrari just looks more special.

    Seriously if one has the cash you just cant pass it. The only thing better would be a custom car. Or maybe the next LaF but I doubt it will have a V12.

    Agree. When you drive the 918 it just doesn’t feel as special as it should.

    I would say the better proposition would be a Pista powered by the v12 from the sp1/2 or even Fxxk.

    Even if you wanted the mac body the v12 would again be the superior choice.

    918 for the drag strip, P1 for the track, Laf for the street.

    Probably fair. I haven’t driven the others yet. Not a fan of Laff looks but worth a try.
