I mean, I would DD a more plebian Ferrari, like the new FF or a 612 or a 599. (Even a Mondial 2+2)

DDing a 456, for instance, would be easy. That car was designed to be a grand tourer.

If I had the money I see no reason I couldn't drive a 458 around everyday.

With enough money, i'd daily drive a Veyron around just because I can..

The new supercars don't seem like they would be as much of a pain as past models. With dual clutch transmissions and electronic safety nets, most of the "toughness" of driving them every day seems to have vanished.

All you have to deal with is the cost of maintenance and the possibility of it breaking down.

Well, they do have a tendency to catch fire and try to kill their owners.

Get out, call your Asian whore you keep at the house and tell her to drive your other one to pick you up.

Hold on, Asian girls can't drive. Call your white whore and tell her to drive the other one.

Nope I would definitely not DD a supercar if I bought one.

I just heard the Lambo again today. As expected, it sounds glorious...but it's...out of its element in this city.

I wonder when they're planning on putting the LF-A roadster into production.

If I had the money to waste on a car like that, I would get that white leather then paint the car a slightly darker shade of this metallic green:

I think you can get them in any color basically.  LFA's are super customizable.  You could get it in MSU colors, white interior with green piping I'm sure. :lol:

Looks like they only offer a couple of particularly nasty greens.

If I can afford a car like that, I can afford to make it the color I want.  :lol:

I probably wouldn't DD anything that cost me more than 100k to purchase.  But that does't mean I wouldn't drive it.  It would certainly be out on the weekends, and to the clubs and stuff.  

The commute is what my GTR would be for. :lol:

Considering how much I complained after getting a door ding, an how much I flipped out when my neighbor hit my car, I don't think DD'ing a supercar would be a great idea. :lol:
