I have driven it to California three times before.

When was the last time you saw a 1980s Ferrari or McLaren out actually being driven anywhere but maybe a Cars and Coffee?

I'd say yes on the Ferrari, but maybe not on the McLaren. I've read some articles about folks putting miles on the McLaren F1. Apparently, it's not as big a deal because the value is appreciating so rapidly, that adding miles doesn't hurt the value. And they are, apparently, very reliable (as they should be considering the level that they are supposed to be built and maintained to). Granted, the maintenance on them is pretty in$ane x10000.
Maybe a better comparison would have been "Ferrari and Lamborghini" or Detomaso or Maserati or who ever was making exotics back then.
