Thanks for your insights Rossi, Nberry, Jerry & VKSF!
Nberry, when you say the F1 tranny lasts 20,000 miles you mean the clutch don't you?
VKSF - very valid consideration about safety, and post colision fires sounds really scary - I'm sure the key that it is only really post collision? I had a friend with a very old lamborghini that caught fire inexplicably while he was in traffic - lack of maintenance I'm sure but scary nonetheless.

Interesting also that you did not mention reliability issues - the maintenance and clutch replacement costs are high but as long as the car does not leave me stranded I'd say it was reliable.

I guess when I say daily driver I mean it'd be a car I could use everyday if I desired (I'm sure in the honeymoon period I'd want to use it every single waking minute!) but Rossi I'd tend to agree in the long term such a wonderful car is not really suited for heavy traffic crawl.

Thanks fellas.
