Because people have the desperate need to buy shit they don't need.

Now suppose each car is at the hardware store, both have to haul five bags of fertilizer, and drive as far as they can get on one gallon of gas over an unplowed field - who'd win?

Except that they both start on unpaved surface.

'At the hardware store' is an 'unpaved surface?' They don't have a parking lot?

The hardware store near my house, has both a parking lot and a vacant lot next to it, so it made sense to me when I wrote it.

Because if he can afford to buy a car that cost $600,000 plus, he sure as hell can afford to buy a truck to haul bags of shit!

Stop trying to justify owning a Yugo and a 360 and be logical man.

Don't get me wrong either, I ain't got anything against your cars, in fact, I wish I could afford to get a 360 to restore

Well obviusly he can't afford both, why else would he be going to the hardware store in his Ferrari?

[Jay!]

couldn't he just ring for delivery?

and besides, this seems more like a question of impractical transportation infrastructure then impractical automobiles if they can't just use the road...

(but I still say flying is the way to go. You could even buy stuff to make a ramp at the hardware store.)

Then he should sell the Enzo and get something more practical.

BTW, you never mentioned what size the ferilizer bags are....so working on your theory of hypothesis, they could be 1lb bags of fertilizer in which case I am sure they would fit in the Enzo's luggage compartment.

Your right, if I had a choice I'd just take a blimp.

It's disgusting how someone can spend $1,000,000 for a car that can go 200 mph when he can't even drive over 70 mph speed limit. These damn bastards are sucking the blood of their workers and whasting money that belongs to them to buy this crap that they cant even use for its purpose and probably never will. What a whaste, obscene rich bastards driving ultra expensive sportscars should be shot!

Thats the most idiotic statement I've ever heard. Saying someone should be shot because they have a taste for a certain car you don't like is a quite ignorant thing to say. And apparently you don't understand the way the business world works. B/c while those rich business owners may have millions of dollars, I'm willing to bet you that there are a number of years here and there where they didn't pay themselves b/c they couldn't afford to. They had to spend all of their profits on the company and not themselves. Not to mention that most of them while they may be on top of the corporate ladder, that doesn't mean they don't work. Most probably put in 65+ hours a week. The work a business owner does tends to be a lot more difficult than someone sitting at their computer typing numbers into a spreadsheet. I know for a fact b/c my dad owns his own company and works hella hours and most of the time im at home while he's there he brought work home to do.
P.S.-The Enzo is only advertised for $1,000,000 but its totally false b/c all of the Enzo's that were sold(which is all that were made) were tied to a 2 year lease directly from Ferrari b/c they didn't want to see people turn around and rip people off selling it for these obscene amounts of money.

Shot out of a canon?
I'm only going to have to agree partially - I know that if I had that kind of money I wouldn't be so stupid as to waste it on a vehicle which I'd rarely have the chance to use to it's fullest potential, rather than being selfish and buying such a useless object I do something good with that money, perhaps helping people out who need it?
It always gets me when people own "expensive" pets like horses or show dogs, that money could be used for better things, the thought that there are people out there that treat animals better than they do humans is sickening.
