    So, I've determined that after I won the lottery or took my company public or sold it to a fortune 50 company for $$$$... After I'd bought the F40, and the Enzo and the wife a huge 10,000 sq foot home...

    I'd buy a few of these "replica" ferrari's on ebay for 5-10 grand...

    And be fast and reckless and smash it, and jump it, and see how far it could be driven aflame and just go wild.

    Yes, I'd trash the car.

    Yes, I'd film it and put it on youTube.

    Yes it would be on Jalopnik in a days time..

    But it would be fun, it would make a statement and I would drive my real FCar home.

    Am I the only person in the world that would derive a deep seated pleasure in this.. however masochistic?

    After buying all the requisite REAL cars, I wouldn't mind having a silver 250GTO "recreation" I've seen in the threads, exact replica made with Ferrari donor parts. I think it cost about a million, made to order by a guy who had the actual one.

    There's a W.C. Fields movie called "Road Hogs", similiar to your thoughts only W.C. is angry with "Road Hogs"....Great Movie....Mark

    WC Fields and Alison Skipworth, dismayed that their new car has been destroyed by a "road hog," utilize part of their million dollars to purchase a fleet of cars and then smash up every road hog in sight! It's been my secret lottery fantasy ever since.

    on the other hand giving the Frankenstein's their due with money for their vehicles to go off and do it again is not quite poetic justice.

    Since we have somewhat implied endless lotto money here, there might be other ways to end their life.... like hold a demolition derby for only clones, then bring in a sherman tank, ringer disguised as a mini-cooper. Have Top Gear do the ringer's driving and done.
