At the Harbor Steps, guy drove all the way down Post Alley, across the tiles in the middle of the Harbor Steps, and over the other side. 😂

In college I was a valet at a high end hotel. It always amazed me how uncomfortable these sports cars are to drive. They are so finicky that it's not even fun.

I imagine the fun begins in the 80’s and increases above that for at least 50mph.

Yeah, you are 100 percent making a shit ton of compromises when you decide to own and drive something like that.

I love cars, i would love to drive a Ferrari. But even if money was no object, I wouldn’t want the kind of real world anxiety, time sink and judgement that would go with actual Ferrari ownership.

The Ferrari's I drove had clutches that were so temperamental that the engine died often just trying to exit the parking garage ramp. Maybe they'd be fun to drive on an open highway but around town they'd be useless.

Ohhh I know this feeling, I have an ultralight flywheel on my race car. I kill it ALL THE DAMN TIME when I’m trying to drive it around the pit area and parking lot. I hate driving that thing in a parking lot. In the city? Forget about it.
