Recently I saw a Testarossa for sale with 40k miles and it just had a full tranny rebuild at a cost of $27k. I asked why the hell it needed a rebuild at 40k miles and I guess my ignorance was obvious. That is extremely high mileage for a Ferrari.

Nonsense. A Ferrari can be driven every day, just like any car. The mechanicals are pretty stout. The Testarossa that needed a gearbox rebuild likely didn't need it because they typically wear out at 40k miles. There's another explanation. I bought a 930 a few years ago that needed a gearbox rebuild at 37K. The reason? Too many previous owners that didn't know how to shift it properly. It's not always the car's fault.
