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.

The fact that they were losing money on it was based on their inital production run. They had originally said thats all they were making, but they made more and now the ss version. Id be curious to see if they came out of the hole yet with the added production
