This just proves that Ferrari is king. They can do whatever they want and it’ll never hurt their brand. You have a stupid expensive problem every time and you keep buying

Yeah... I bought a BMW Z4, drunk on New Years ( No I didn't test drive it ) with 100,000 miles on it. Generally, I do a market search, and it was a good buddy I'd bought cars from before, but I was just waiting for something to fail and total the car. I'd just bought a 4RUNNER the week before so I was down about 25 k. Since I live on my sailboat, and park on the beach, I kept it at a buddy's house across the bridge. Fun little car, no major problems , few upgrades ,but needed some minor cosmetics. Still made me a nervous wreck. Felt like I had to pay attention to ,and drive it. Owned it about a month. Took a few k bath , but got rid of it. All this looks easy, or fun, but unless you have deep pockets ? Buy something you can pay cash for that doesn't kill you at the garage. Even if you're the garage.
