When Ferraris Break

Thank you! Was getting to be kind of boring around here. With this statement, can probably assume a big helping of F-chat Whip Azz headed your way.
Owning a fleet of rental exotics is no different then applying for any business loan through your lender. If you don't think Rentals get abused then you're simply delusional. What would make in entertaining video is to equip these Cars with cameras. $3000 day? When I was in Paris a few months ago you could rent a Lamborghini for $650 a day.

 

Well.. Actually my car has 56,000 miles+ and Ive put more than 5000 miles on it. So.. Yeah I DO have an idea what ACTUAL use and ownership is like.

And yes... Use by rentals is NOT equivalent to private ownership. It holds true with a Camry and with a Ferrari.

One of the greatest lessons in life is knowing when someone is a showman drama queen full of ****, and when youre getting accurate information. This is one of those lessons. You need to learn that when someone has a YouTube channel that drives traffic to their buisiness, you're probably not getting accurate information. To be clear.. In this case you're not.

 

Not a cop. Just somebody that doesn't appreciate ****** bags that are reckless with other people on the road. I'm not afraid of guns as I've been around them my entire life and I don't live in the 1880's old west, or Southside Chicago. Also, a guy that had his best friend killed 25 years ago by a kid showing off in his dad's ZR1 Corvette. I'm judging you based on your statements of "quick " driving, and entitlement to ignore speed limits and "slow" traffic. Why do I get the feeling I'm talking to an unpopular teenager with a parent purchased Audi he likes to show off his driving skill in?

 

I belong to many car forums. In the morning ... Ferrarichat is the 1st forum I lurk on. You guys ALWAYS have the most interesting threads (drama) of any forum. And I mean that in a good way.

Please continue while I drink my coffee.

 

Once can choose any make of any model in the world and cherrypick it's deficiency (s) and then say "when xxx break...."

 

+1

Only here do you get both sides of every argument from the well reasoned contributors
above the clouds and...below the dirt?

 

Does no one remember this incident? I get having fun, but I am surprised all those reckless driving videos are still up after his employee and his brother killed a man in Gotham owned cars

Interesting threads. Comments in interview by superspeeders guy are worth reading.

 

So you don't know how to research my cars simply looking at my profile, or maybe looking at posts made in relevant model threads..... Yeah, I'm an Audi driving teenager... Not.... In fact, can't remember ever owning an Audi, but too 'accountant' for me. Try again, I think you may be attention seeking but each to his own

 

Thanks for the laugh. Self awareness isn't an issue with you.

 

This thread has taken quite the turn

 

Certainly has ace, some people are too self righteous for their own good

 

Again.. You need to learn how to weed out the BS from the fact.

Not off to a good start. Ask private owners their experiences and go from there.

 

Phase 1 - aspire to own
Phase 2 - own in awe
Phase 3 - acclimate to ownership
Phase 4 - find faults with marque
Phase 5 - accept faults for love of marque

He may not be there yet, or the cars are just simply rental appliances and he's not feeling the love. I believe he does have a point with the reliability. There are many excellent points in this thread as to the reasons. I still love mine despite its faults.

 

The problem is you're still on the road with stupid no matter how good you are. When you're doing 55 like the speed limit signs says, you have a chance to compensate for stupid (especially in these cars). If you're doing 130, you don't have time to do a damn thing.

I drive fast at times but I don't do it in any kind of traffic. I don't care how much you condone it, passing on the shoulder is dangerous. That part of the "road" isn't made to be driven on. More often than not there is loose gravel and trash on the shoulder at least where I live.

 

What you are failing to realize if I was going to give a car hell, I would go rent his for $2,500 instead of mine and $2,500 isn't that much money.

In another video of his he put a challenge grill on a 360 and couldn't get it aligned. The connection for rear hatch wasn't made and it wouldn't go into gear. He just bypassed it because he couldn't make it work. In another he said he had the correct sized tires on the car. I can't remember the brand name but they do not offer tires for that 360. There are two "repairs" he's made that are not correct. He didn't name the video when I can't fix the car correctly Ferrari's break.

 

Excellent points.

Couple of days ago driving through providence RI in a light rain in heavy stop and go traffic in my DD. An arse in a r8 spider quickly passed a bunch of cars on the right while driving up on the shoulder and cut off the guy in front of me. Came out of nowhere, and even startled me.

Initially got pissed, then recalled this thread and felt bad for the guy. He must feel he is entitled and invincible and probably took a race lesson or 2. I could see a new driver or elderly person instinctively reflex steering to left and side swiping another car. The r8 would be long gone and who would be considered at fault?

 

Great detective work! Says a lot for how his cars are maintained.

 

I feel bad for the F car in the first clip and the one at 3:11.

I remember in the early 90's when I lived in Houston. Some jackass decided to pass on the shoulder. He whipped over and accelerated right into the rear of car. Turns out a family had a flat so they pulled over to the shoulder (wow who would have thought). So a family of four died. Three in the car and the father on the grass side of the car changing his front tire. I don't give a damn who you are or what you say. Passing on the shoulder is never "SAFE". If you really try to argue that point you are either a troll or a moron. There is reason (at least in the states) emergency vehicles aren't supposed to pass a car on the right side.

 

but racing license.

 

Who suggested I would pass on the shoulder? I've certainly never mentioned it.... You guys have great imagination. I simply use all the lanes available as and when safe, so if someone hogs the left, I'll use a right lane to go past, why wait ? (In the states of course, in the UK, switch for driving on the left)

 

Hey smart guy, One more observation. The renter that had the wheel/A arm just break off in rolling traffic and laughed it off. What happens if he was at speed on the Interstate? Certainly wouldn't have found humor in it then. That's like handing someone a potential death sentence and speaks volumes to how these cars are maintained and inspected after each renter's folly.
