Default for those that have nice cars.

for you guys with the more expensive cars, from vettes to enzos, do you ever get bored of driving them around. how long does it take for them to loose that exiting factor. also, while i already have a post up, has anyone driven the ford GT yet?

That might be because supercars tend to be a little on the expensive side, and a lot of people who own them tend to keep quiet about it. However, there are a few people here who do indeed own nice cars.

ya, i prefer my CGT to my enzo, but the ford gt is just a waste, yes it is cheaper then lets say my 250gto, but the fact that it just looks like a pig and a waste of gas, made me buy the SLR instead
yes it does get boring living my life...

I am never bored of my 320... I am never bored of driving, I don't see why a supercar owner should be...

Driving is always a thrill provided you're not stuck in traffic.

Getting a hot hatch someone should almost never get bored, and you have some good hot hatches for 3000 euros in decent conditions....Im not bored with my Audi A3 yet either....

Got myself a G35 and the only time I get tired of driving it is when I think the mileage is going up too fast lol. For a hurricane that just went away (Francis) I drove her 3 hours and it did not feel like 3 hours at all! Im sure someone with a supercar wouldt get bored of his/her car (unless it breaks often).

I don't get bored of the Z.. but if I daily drive it for a couple weeks it begins to feel slow..

I have been in DC for 4 weeks on a contract - and will take the Z out tomorrow for a spin - and it will feel like a new car again - and compared to the Caddie Deville rental we had, will feel like 1000hp for the first half hour...

Driving a 385hp 6-speed is never boring - even in traffic.
