Also you make a very general statement, I know a lot of people with Ferraris, Lambos and Porsches and they ALL care about their car and reliability. Nobody likes to pay to fix a motor. None of them would take it lightly. They may have the means to buy another 30 Ferraris, but they still would bitch like we would if we blew up.

That is NOT why they aren't driven often. I wouldnt be surprised at ALL if an F430 or the new 458 Italia can handle twice the punishment my engine can for twice the time. They arent driven often because their owners care about resale value and because they aren't always the most practical cars. The price of these things goes down SO much with a few thousand miles on them...

Don't get confused here...
