My daily driver is an Insight. 53.5 MPG is my lifetime MPG and I get over 60 everyday going to work.

The couple times I've gotten quotes, the first thing they asked me was "Are you paying or is your insurance company?" It's safe to say the cost goes up if you say insurance.

Ninh, what happened to your car?

I think I'd put a Formula Ford engine in a Pinto, bypass TCS on a Prius to unleash the full 400lb-ft from the electric motor, and probably put some nasty four-banger in a Metro...

An Enzo? Probably won't be tempted to mod that for a week or so.

I'd drive it for a week then give it back.... too rich for my blood. I'd settle for a murcielago

by the by alex, there is a motorcar shop that I drive past everyday going to work. Mostly ferrari but a smattering of other bit. They have a black Enzo sitting in the front corner behind the glass, then a bunch of 575's. They have one that is convertible with rollbars - I didn't know ferrari was doing that with it, but I'd sure trade the S for it in a hurry..... it's silver They also have one of those Shelby cars, the S1 or whateve the hell its called. Pretty cool all in all, I'd say upwards of 15 ferrari's from what I can tell....

I'd steal it.




550 convertible = 550 Barchetta. So far, no 575M convertible.


Barchetta looks good top down, but you should see it with it up!



hold on...
