Ouch. Even without issues, the F-cars are quite expensive to maintain and would be brutal as a DD. Not to mention resale on a clean, one-owner, 2-year old 575 with ONLY 30,000 miles. Ferrari corporate would probably blackball you.

Re: Maserati
The 575 is a great daily driver. In fact, I thought it was too soft. My "friend" tracked the shit out of his, beat down Kid on the toll roads, ran Silver State in it, and never had one freaking problem with the car.
I can't think of a better execu-track car if you can afford the lifestyle.

Re: Maserati
I agree, it is probably the ultimate DD. Just a tad pricey with maintenance. I think you would have to flip them every year and keep them under 20k miles to get some money back.

The silver is this neoprene-like padded fabric. Personaly, I would have preferred straight leather, but it doesnt look bad at all.

Looks to me like 1950's era Hollywood space suit material.

I like your Kit car. What's it like to build something for 100K only for it to be worth a 1/4 of that a couple years down the line?
