    Re: MC12 on Snow


    wow!!! I never thought I'd ever see that car being driven in snow! Lol that is one brave exotic owner.
    He does have a point though, no matter the type of car you have, they should all be driven and enjoyed! (just not in snow!!!)

    Great find, thanks for the vid.

    Awesome link.

    I love his comment on when the car is dirty, it looks meaner. I must say I have to agree!

    Great vid! Finally someone who treats a car for what it's meant for! Courageous owner. We all should consider our cars for what they are: toys

    Re: MC12 on Snow

    I think it's one thing to own a car like that and drive it like it was meant to be. But what this guy is doing is just reckless and strikes me as spoiled, careless behavior.

    Re: MC12 on Snow

    i'd rather see somebody do this to their supercar than rub it with a diaper & drive it twice a year.

    It's his car, it's his money, let him drive it whenever he wants!

    Some like to polish their cars and have them as museum pieces, others prefer to drive them. I think his style is refreshing.

    Some people only see the money invested. Hence they are fearful of damaging their "investment". Is it they who truely need to grow up!

    Re: MC12 on Snow

    His attitude is refreshing to a point , but I think he took it to an extreme, especially in front of the cameras trying to show his cool, which I am sure he undoubtly regrets once he brought the car back home.

    I actually think driving in the street, on the highway in wet weather is acceptable. I understand the comment about the the paint chips personally I would applied a clear bra regardless of how much money I had.

    Taking this car on a race track with snow and ice is just careless, I mean did he even bother trying to change the tires for wet weather? Maybe he was trying to set a new track record.

    I am pretty sure he doesn't do that with his Enzo.

    I have to agree with that.

    Might have been a good idea, yes. But I do think it's kinda sexy with cars that are "scarred" from use. I remember being at Villa d'Este a couple of years ago and seeing an unrestored Bugatti Type 35A - such a refreshing contrast to all the other cars there.
