    Driving a Supercar in the Winter

    Sorry if this is a repost guys, but I just saw this and thought it was a great video. I always say that supercars shouldn't be garage queens, but this guy takes things to the next level with his Maserati MC12.

    http://videos.streetfire.net/search/mc12/0/667C16AA-D7A5-4C32-8DBF-CBED735FCE6B.htm

    I suppose the end shows why a lot of supercars aren't driven in the winter.

    enthusiasm is one thing.

    losing any sense of relative value is another.

    I cringed when I watched this bloke abuse one of the most beautiful vehicles I've ever seen in my life.

    But of course, its his 500k pounds and he can do whatever he wants with it...

    Commodification at its quintessence

    LOL. After seeing him joking about the washer cap breaking off in his fingers the first time he touched it, the cumbersome unlatching of the bonnet, no storage for the roof, and the options/colors list or lack thereof for an approx. 500k pound car, I sense he understands a smidgen about relative value.

    One may even suggest that contrary to being worshipped daily, supercars like these deserve owners like him.
