You guys swear that it's sooooo easy to operate a racing-derived six speed transmission in a 640HP Italian supercar
Just because you own a stick Scion and watched The Fast and The Furious a couple times doesn't mean that you can just hop in and drive either

I'm sorry...but If you have a maybach or rolls-royce...
you should be in the back of it at all times...
driving it a few times is ...meh...alright...but if i own one of those, i'm being driven around...

whats wrong with driving your own car, regardless what type it is? I know that if I was filthy I would drive everything from my yacht to my bus, to my maybach.If I was heading out to dinner with the family, then maybe i'll hire a driver, or if i'm heading out to a night event, etc....

I agree with you to a certain extent...Driving a Maybach 62 is like driving a limo' though....

I've driven cars with more power and much less refined, 5-speed manuals (Supras, etc.) as well as a 6-speed 430 and other cars like it. The exotics weremuch easier to drive.
I wasn't mocking her for not knowing how to drive a stick, I know maybe one female who can. I just thought it was funny that he paid so much for a car shecouldn't drive, then spent more to make it automatic. IMO an automatic (not even F1) car like that is pretty lame. Who cares though, she's not drivingit for the performance.
In response to the people saying they'd drive their own cars- so would I! Which is why I would never buy a boat-on-wheels like a Maybach. And don'tgive me that "S" is for sport, it's meant for driving nonsense. No, that's a silly marketing ploy by Mercedes to sucker people intooverpaying even more. The car has terrible handling, incredibly-soft suspension, an enormous wheelbase, an oversized body, etc. etc.
The car is meant to provide passengers with an extremely comfortable ride. The back seats >>> the front ones. It is, for all intents and purposes, alimousine. Do not tell me a slight hp boost and a "tweaked suspension" or whatever other stuff the s-model comes with suddenly makes this behemoth asporty car.

Nah, Im not saying just because its an "S" model Maybach that its meant to be Driven, the 57 has a shorter wheel base and IS actually made to bedriven...Its basically like driving a S550 with more power and more bells and whistles...I've seen Pro athletes and Musicians driving around in Maybach62's and it just looks goofy to me...Same goes with Phantoms...

You guys are crazy. I don't care what kind of car it is, be it a Phantom or Maybach..if I'm paying 6 figure for it, I'm driving it.
The biggest issue for me when driving exotic is the visibility, and people complain about blind spots on a Z. Some clutches are also tricky to work with sincethey don't operate like a normal one would, ie Porsche CGT. Anyone can drive a high powered car in a civilized manner. It's when they try to getadrenaline rush that leads to crashes, ie numerous headlines of exotic car crashes on PCH/Newport area.

From what I've heard, the Carrera GT clutch is not much harder than a performance clutch on a GT3 or such.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I've driven all of those cars except for the 62 and they all drove poorly IMO. I guess if youwant luxurious interiors, tons of features/gadgets, cushy rides, and some bling factor those are the cars to buy.Originally Posted by KayCurrency

I'm just biased honestly, I'd rather drive an exotic over any of those under any circumstances. 911 Turbo or LP560 are cushy enough for me

damn if i had all this money, i wouldn't over do it on all those cars.
regardless of how much money i had i couldn't justify spending 200k on a car that i would drive just once a week if that.
give me a cayenne, 6 series coupe, carerra coupe, and a range rover and im game.
