As far as OP, that stable is BANANAS! Dude is balling beyond control.

But yeah... When I see $6M+ in cars... I don't envision them being stacked up in a cramp garage like that? Jay Leno is extremely Disappoint!

Yeah I know. Can you believe that crap?

Didn't Chris Harris accuse Ferrari of sending out "ringer" cars on journo tests? - which actually resulted in him being banned from testing Ferraris for some time.

For a company that apparently prides themselves so much on racing competition, this is pretty ridiculous behavior.

This is the same company that also threatens to leave F1 each time rule changes are made that they think will adversely affect them.

The gentleman who owns these cars is a very, very good customer who has a very close relationship with the company (he has dozens of them, including an F1 car). I doubt he would be banned from buying another Ferrari if he did allow someone to use his cars for a head-to-head, but at the same time I also don't think he would allow it to happen out of respect for a company he is so close with.

I once read on a car magazine (forgot which one) during a comparo test - Ferrari would send several engineers to make sure everything is set properly (i.e. tire pressure is set for the type of race, weather and temp, different suspension tuning, etc). What I remember vividly is when one of them told the testers, "I don't care if you trash the car as long as we win and get the best numbers".

I think this will cause favorable results vs when another brand asks to avoid any accident at all cost.

McLaren is the one that is really holding back on that since they know exactly what the P1 can run on that track (it's their home track).

Fantastic collection! My mouth dropped when I saw it. Great taste in cars.

I can only imagine how disappointing driving the i8 must be after driving any one of those other cars.

It is funny the guy has a snow blower and salt spreader when he can obviously afford someone to do that work for him.

That's probably his city car. Still looks fantastic and you can hand the keys to a valet without having a heart attack.

He has multiple properties in Florida as well, hence the plates. His big car farm is in Jersey, though, as clearly you know. He has the cars shipped all over the place. There are pics of him driving that McLaren in Cali as well.

Those cars should be properly showcased in a garage like this one. The guy is currently building a new and improved garage that he's unveiling in a couple of months that should blow this one away.

Monday: first day to work/school/whatever sucks usually so I'm taking out the P1
Tuesday: second day also sucks but not as bad as Monday so I'll settle for the M4 'vert
Wednesday: I think I spent too much gas when I drove the M4, gotta get back into a hybrid...I'll be happy with the i8
Thursday: Okay, I had sucky days with the M4 and i8 time to treat myself with my 918 to keep it German.
Friday: I think it's time to make some noise...and I'm excited since it's the beginning of the weekend. Let's go with the Ferrari.

Saturday: I'll some manual labor and use my seed disperser/fertilizer that matches my Italian Hybrid Supercar.

Sunday: I've worked for five day and did manual labor on Saturday. I think I need a new car. Hmm...I think importing (and legalizing as a "show car") a Koenigsegg One:1 would be nice for next Saturday.
