how is this totalled?

isn't the engine in the back?

...made with a single water pressure forming tool. It was only suppose to last a certain run. There no repair to the unibody. Another has to be made. Ferrari destroyed the toolage to justify and support the price present owners paid.

There is no recourse to getting another car. A new multi million dollar tool would have to be made and I'm sure that would trigger buyback or rebate clauses Ferrari signed with the owners who placed deposits for these cars.

This is truly a limited edition as opposed to what the Big Three try to BS consumers with on a regular basis.

Well...those cars are so rare that they will not depreciate (of course unless they are totaled or just are not taken care of and turn to crap).

If anything they will probably raise in value.

...take possession of the body and hold it for parts. There will be problems with some of the other cars on the market and since this is a limited production run this is possibly going to be the only source for parts if you dent your Enzo's door beyond repair.

I am a guy, but I never understood the fascination with cars. I could just not bring myself to spend that kind of money on something that can either depreciate severely or is so open to destruction. I'd rather have an airplane.

The Enzo is one of the coolest cars ever and there were only 400 of them made, I have a feeling that their owners arent going to have to worry about it depreciating too much, I bet they will be worth quite a bit more then that in years to come.

Besides the more money you have the more expensive your toys get. Not that I would know, Im still riding a big wheel for fun. :)

What a Idiot.

I would have said you alright? Then stuck my foot up his wazoo.

Then again the director was pretty stupid to let him drive it.

If I had that car...Nobody but me would ever drive it.
