I've seen the C1000 a few times over the years here in North Carolina, once in Greensboro and twice in Charlotte, and every time I did, I walked away with more questions. Like, just HOW did this one-off, multi-million dollar, built for an Emirati Royal, hypercar (before the word was even coined) end up HERE? Ultimately, I think we were so lucky to have this car in our area for as long as we did and it's great that it's going to a good home. I really hope to see it again someday.

Many of us will never own one of these cars, but there might be some of us who will and I can only hope that their passion is ¼ of what John's is to be worthy of that vehicle. Some we haven't heard of, or maybe forgot, or heard rumors it existed but never was proven to be.
