    I busted out rhe Enzo and went to a meeting with my accountant tonight at the Palms casino, I had one of my security guards stay with the car, I dont mind looking but its the touchers and LEANERS with metal belts that I dont like. I wouldnt lean on someonse Kia. its not mine to lean on. Felt great to drive it, its terribly cold so I let it run foe a long time before I drove it and even I kept the shift points at 3000rpm's, it never got up to its normal running temperature i drove it super soft.

    So whileI was driving down he freeway with all these cars passing me a thought popped into my head, I wonder at any given time just how many of the 400+/- Enzo's are on the road being driven world wide at any given time, I know its impossible to ever know but I thought for a minute it would be cool if I or someone else was the only person in the world to be driving an Enzo at that exact monent, I know with rarer cars it happens ofter or the P4/5 since there is only one, its obvious. But I bet there isnt an Enzo on the road 24/7 like there is a Mercedes 500S for example.

    I'm willing to bet that there are times that there are no Enzo's on any road in the world for short periods of time, Lots of them dont get driven, some are being fixed, etc. I'm exhausted I worked 12hrs yesterday and 14 today, so please dont think I'm losing it with this thred, but I thought it was an interesting thought I wanted to share.

    You must have been bored or something. Anyway I bet there are very few ont he road at the same time if any unless there is a meet or something like that. Out of all the people that own and Enzo how many acctually drive it? Not many.

    I have employed a team of highly trained, brilliant computer ninja monkeys to devise a software that will enable me to answer this exact question. I must possess all Enzo knowledge fathomed.

    It's a crazy thought, but let's give it a try ...

    Let's assume that there are 400 Enzos.

    Let's assume that they drive 1000 miles per year, as an average. This part is an important one, but all I can do is guess, using some information I have on Enzos. I wouldn't be surprised if the number should be lower ...

    So, in total, they drive 400,000 miles a year.

    Let's also assume that at average they drive 40 miles per hour.

    That means that there are 10,000 hours every year when Enzos are being driven.

    The number of hours in a year is 8,760 (= 365 * 24).

    So, that means that as an average, there should be around one Enzo being driven at a random moment. (10,000 / 8,760 = 1.1 Enzo).

    Strange thought, isn't it?

    Opinions???? :)

    The one thing I can predict with reasonable certainty is when P 4/5 will be on the road...

    Dammit, I was at the Palms last night, didn't see your car there though... what time did you leave? I didn't get there till almost midnight I think.

    There was a bright yellow Vanquish out front that I thought was ugly.

    Time zones would enter the equation weighted by geographic dispersion of the Enzo population

    i move in mysterious ways, so dont be too sure, ever see gone in 60 seconds. ? you could be fast asleep and having sweet dreams of hearing the roar of the P 4/5 when in reality it is the P 4/5 Roaring down the road and when you wake up to go see what your dreams were all about you'll notice a hole in the garage the size of the Grand Canyon and your heart will sink, of course I'll just fill the tank and bring her back home for you. ;) with no more than 5 miles total. your not a gun enthusists are you?

    But what about Enzo's that are being driven in groups like at a rally, do they get counted as one or seperately, I think I will give up thinking about this because as Homer Simpson would say "my head hurts"
