Drive it like you stole it -- Ferrari Enzo edition (video)

To paraphrase a acquaintance friend of mine:

"Not driving your Ferrari to preserve its value is like not having sex with your girlfriend to make her more desireable for the next guy"

This guy gets it....nothing like treating a 1.5 million dollar Enzo like it's in the next Ken Block video.

I dunno...seems pretty calculated to tape it. If you have that much money, why advertise that you're an idiot? Screams new (or someone else's) money.

Yea, it kinda screams that it's a rental, stolen or not the true owner,like maybe a spoiled son playing with daddy's toy.

" An idiot", I don't think so. This guy has a high end car that he likes to drive, LIKE ALL OF US SHOULD DRIVE THEIR CARS. Just because he films it should make no difference. These kinds of cars are made to be DRIVEN, not stored in some shed or museam, out of view of everyone. Would I drive my car on those roads; probably not, but that's just me.

I'd drive my car (subaru) on those roads too...just like I did in the snow/slop tonite. But if I had earned the money to buy an Enzo, I'd not be out driving it in the same crap.

Awesome. At the core it's a damn car, drive it. Here's another one from Jalopnik, an Alfa 8C and C4S playing in the snow.

The Alfa Romeo 8C That Played In Snow Is Back, And It Brought A Friend

Driving it like you stole it is one thing. Beating the p!$$ out of it the way he is doing is just stupid.

When I mentioned I took my 911 down similar roads, people's heads were exploding....

I once drove my Boxster across a creek while trying to reach a rally stage spectator point. It was a shallow creek across a rock Jeep trail, but still - how many people can say that they drove a Boxster across a creek?

It was also fun flogging a Boxster covered in mud on the Ozark backroads while headed home. A car that isn't driven is, by definition, worthless.

I'd rather see this than see it driven from stoplight to stoplight by a 16 year old bimbette in Beverly Hills.

Like Matt says, it's a damn car. It's his car, it's his money, I'm glad he shared it with the world.
