At only 14 or 15 mpg, he probably just drove to the store and back to get some milk and was like "Oh #$&%, I need to get some gas."

If you want to come see LOTS of Ferraris and Ferrari-istas on the streets, come to Indianapolis for the Grand Prix in June!Several hundred owners (and thousands of less well-heeled prancing horse fans) drive to the track to root for Michael Schumacher.Porsches are well represented too.

15 MPG is not that much worse than an Excursion or Hummer. and the Ferrari is much more stylin', and in many cases, less expensive. (The average Hummer Price on Autotrader is $US 49,186. There are 23 Ferraris on Autotrader that cost less than that, and 52 that are less than US$60,000. There are even a couple that could be had for just a bit more than a fully loaded 2005 Matrix/Vibe. *evil twinkle*)Oh, and we have a few owners here in Denver that make a habit of racing their ferraris...

I thought Ferrari's were plentiful in Cali? My mom said as soon as she stepped outa the airport in San Diego she saw a 355 and a Shelby Cobra.I've only seen two Lamborginis here. Once at a resturaunt and the guys date couldn't figure out how to close the door (removed). The second time was at the Woodward Dream Cruise and Jeff Daniels ( guy from dumb and dumber) was driving it next to me at a light.
