So...no fun allowed? You can buy the car exclusively for the purpose of being seen in said car. I am definitively not a car guy, but what's the point if you do not red-line it for some quick thrills?
Whatever makes people happy, I guess. I will continue to drive my ~zero maintenance Honda without regrets.
I've ridden in two Ferraris, and they were very much "red-lined for quick thrills". The "Ferrari rules" may build a mystique, but there's also some juice in breaking rules.
You are required to maintain and insure it. by ferrari.
You can't loan it out for performance testing.
You can't street race it.
You can't sully the brand.
and plenty more.
makes me wonder, do the new ones have telemetry to check this stuff?
