But if i had 2 mill and 300k maintenance money to burn...i think i'd buy a couple nice Ferrari's, Lambo's, Ducati's, and have enough left over for a Charlie Sheen hooker binge!! ![]() |

BTW, Jeffblue came up with the term "Veryonomics." If you do the math the costs work out to the same as just about any performance car on a relative basis.
Tires for a 370 might work out to around 2-3% of the brand new purchase price. Same for the Veyron. ![]()

I'll never understand how the school systems screwed up so much. I went to public school and I am a geographical beast.
