The Ferrari comparison is unfair, because unless you're an idiot, you know the Italian comes with 10,000 dollar brakes. My VX has cost nothing except for anal Mobil 1 lube changes, and probably overdone filter changes(Hell, I gotta do SOMETHING to it) Smiles per mile factor has been suitably high. The only casualty has been the garage screen I drove through... hardly the cars fault;Dp; ;Dp;
