Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Need group wisdom on pricing for 2007 F430

Agree 100%

There's a picture floating around of my Mondial overloaded after a Costco
run. If I could afford an 800K car, I could also afford to drive it through
Mickey D's with the kid/s.

Wasn't it Phil Hill, having been asked about how hard he was pushing a
historic racer worth 'lots', simply said that if it's worth that much, then
it's worth fixing if it gets damaged.

And if you owned an $800,000 car you can honestly say you'd drive it  
"places?". Like the grocery?  Home Depot?
