Most Expensive Vehicle I've Ever Owned !!!!

I just wanted to point out that Dallas used a $20,000 Ferrari in his comparison.

You might be able to get a beat up 308 for $20k. A 308 does not have $10k brake pads. More like $100. Even if you replace the entire brake system, I don't see you spending more than $4-5k on a 308.

The Enzo, on the other hand, has $20,000 brake pads IIRC. That's because it uses some space-age material and process to make them.

Just because they wear the same badge, you can't associate maintenance costs of a $20k car and a $650k car. Apples with apples after all, right?

Mine's got 80K and the shocks are fine. Still hit hard on the bumps.. just like new. no "bouncing"... but I've done the regular maintinence (wheel bearings, transmission fluid, brakes, etc.. ) I know it's a little expensive for some of the maintinence but 1. I'm doing all of it myself and 2. it was an expensive car (for me). But I can tell you it runs like new at 80k+.. when it's paid off 14months from now I'm getting a little civic to commute with so I can make sure the VX is around for the rest of the time I need it. I bet mine makes the 250k mark.. that's the goal.. maybe 300k.. anyway I'm hoping with the mobil 1 regular changes I'll make the goal.

Accident years ago that involved a drunk driver hitting me head on. Almost 3 years ago to the day. It totalled a '00 Green VX.

Don't let that last post work it's exxaggeration into you, heh. When you grew up a po' boy like I did, ANY money is good money. And having my leg rebuilt from a car accident and dealing with the pain for the rest of my life, blood money and thankfulness that you are still here is a perk.

Anyways, back onto the subject. Back in '91 I bought a banged up '78 Vette. 2 years of restoration (I used to do that sort of thing for a living at a restoration/customization shop) and it was ready to roll. I was only 20 at the time and I couldnt get insured for it. So, I ended up selling it. Not saying that was the most expensive car I ever owned, but it sure was the most immaculate, pretty one. If it looks and runs the same to this day (whoever owns it), I am sure it could sell for a pretty penny.
