Frisco is infamous around these parts
heh, my dentist is on the next block down!

I used to live on Jackson and Webster and went to grade school on Broadway and Fillmore - I can think of a number of routes to take and don't see why the hills in SF should be something to stand in the way of owning a car like this.

I just think it's great that he uses it regularly and enjoys it -- it's not kept like some museum piece.

In order to drive any of these super exotics day to day one has too have some ***** and some cash as well . I had a Dr Friend who drove his F40 to NYC and would double park on 2nd Ave with the key in (had a start button anyway) he put so many mile on it the Wide World of Cars had to call Ferrari when the 15k svc came.
The analogy is like you are married to Carmen Electra but take another woman out so no one will hit on her

I see an Enzo parked in Bal Harbor Shoppe’s Florida weekly as well and I think that is how I would like to be if I owned that car!

I think things are meant to be used cars are for driving, watches are for wearing, wine is for drinking, cigars are for smoking and women are for....fill in the blank! No offense to our female members!

Oh yea. No problem. The Union Street neighborhood is like a city within a city. But you're right, I'd rather reserve a nice spot in the Union Street indoor parking lot
If I'd got a CGT, I'd get some body guards...not for me but for the car
Though it's nice to see that the owner bought the car with intent to use it, not just for bragging rights or as a garage queen.
Cars are meant to be driven, especially when they cost like $450k.

Why do people always make an offense and then immediately excuse themselves by saying "no offense"?

I'll finish your offensive remark for you. Women are for spending some of your money so you don't spend it all on the cars.

I would think the common car theif wouldn't dare touch a car like that. The only person that IMO would even attempt to steal a CGT has been planning it for a while and has an entire plan. (i.e Gone in 60 seconds)

Don't bet on it. The CGT wheel only has one nut. Faster to steal. Expect to see the car drop to the ground real soon

I can think of some other things, I made the apology as we have some very cool female members and did not want to seem like a pig...!

There's a guy that lives up the street from me on Vallejo that has an Enzo, F50, 550/575, 360 and Bentley in his garage! I think there are more in there (it's got a turntable in the middle to move cars around), but those are the ones I've seen on the few occasions the door is open. I'll try to get some pics soon...

I know several people who live in the city with that kind of ground clearance on various platforms, including myself. Just gotta watch the road surface as you go, and yah sometimes you have to take an alternate route.

I had no such problems with my caddy when I was visiting SF.

Btw, I am the king and I don't believe I've met you.
