These guys took an F40 camping

[ildd]

So they can drive it into a lake if they wanted to? Abusing classic cars isn't okay.

As long as it's not to collect insurance money, yes.
Referencing the Veyron in Galveston fiasco

Also, I'm fine with them driving the car. I slightly took offense when they cooked eggs using the engine, though.

I know I'm going to get killed for saying this, but guys, it's just a car. It's not like they destroyed the car by driving it into a fiery pit.

End this argument right here!

No.

Cars are designed to be driven, not looked at. You wanna look at something, buy Mona Lisa.

What if I want to cook eggs on the Mona Lisa?

You own the Mona Lisa? You wanna go and chuck it on the fire so you can cook your eggs? Go ahead. It's your own assets, you can do what you want with it. Follow your dreams, tiger. Go bigger. Fold an original Shakespeare manuscript into a frying pan and make an omelette. Flip a burger with a Picasso.

This type of thing is par for the course in Japan, though. If I'm not mistaken, the F40 was pretty popular over there.

You know, I have a feeling that this guy was playing a bit too much GTA V. Climbing up Mt. Chiliad in super cars is loads of fun.

I hope one day that I'm rich enough where I can buy expensive and rare cars just to do things like this. The anger of kids on the Internet would bring me joy.

This. So much this. And I'd paint everything hot pink.

People have trouble with supercar/sportscar owners using said cars elsewhere than on the street, yet no one bats an eye when a Jeep Wrangler/Land Rover/H1 is seen in a parking lot or on the freeway. Same difference.

Well, if you're going to cook an egg on a Ferrari V8, this is a pretty good one to do it with. Try it with a 458 and you risk burning the egg.

Along with your $200,000 supercar.

 

[Crash]

Glad to see that they are using their F40.

 

[Legro]

For everyone that think that the guys that did this are stupid. They didn't crash it, they didn't abandon it, they didn't make something stupid out of it, what they did was enjoy their F40 and that makes me happy.

I would much rather see guys actually enjoying their car than leaving it in a climate-controlled garage indefinitely, or left in a barn to gather dust, rust, and a whole lot of animal droppings, only to be found 60+ years after it was built.

 

[Tornado]

How did those people get their hands on such vehicle?

They bought it, presumably.

 

[Liquid]

Better to use it than have it gathering dust in a garage.

 

[Cano]

Haha, these guys are awesome.

 

[R0ssingt0n]

Can't believe this has got a few negative responses. Cars are meant to be driven!

Plus is they have enough money to afford a Ferrari F40 I'm sure they have enough money to repair any paint chips or scuffs from this trip... Which it probably didn't get anyway.

 

[jimipitbull]

Even if they didn't do it for publicity, which it sure looks like they did, they're still idiots for taking a collector supercar on a gravel road, which will easily damage it, when they could have taken a car made for that, an SUV or truck.

Whatever tickles your fancy

You just have to realize who made those negative replies ands then go "oh", laugh a little and keep on with life 👍

 

[SmileyOr1]

I have used my C6 to go camping, but never left the paved roadway to do it.

I visited a private collection. One car was an Auburn Boattail Speedster V12. The owner used it for a beer run one time. Another person asked about the usage of a car like that for a beer run. The answer was "go big, or go home".

Those guys camping safely in an F40 were sure going big

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

Well then.

That is actually quite awesome. Instead of the car sitting in a show room, or being a trailer queen, or not being used at all, they actually used it for something they enjoy. 👍

You can do anything if you have money. Anything.

 

[XS]

Does anybody else think that F40 looks absolutely stunning in that setting? Just gorgeous... bite the back of your hand gorgeous.

 

[Grayfox]

I find it funny that @JMoney689 is ccomplaining about taking a supercar off road.

As long as they drove slowly and carefully who are we to complain.

At least he is not like the other supercar drivers.



So it is an offense to drive a F40 off road and not damage it, yet it is fine to drive like an idiot with a supercar and crash it.

 

[Crumpet]

Honestly who gives a damn about how Supercars are treated... Nobody lives forever, when you die, does it matter that the car in your garage is pristine and worth half a million, nope! Just use the damn thing and race it through a giant sewer or something or roll it over trying to drift through a shopping mall. Enzo Ferrari was a man of motorsport, he wouldn't want his cars sat in a closet under a temple of some Saudi Prince... Supercars would be great fun off-road, think about, the power to put down, the deers to kill, the excitement of knowing the engine might be on fire at any moment... top kek.

 

[Doodle]

They took an F40 offroad just for publicity? Idiots.

 

[Downhill Dino]

I would certainly drive around an F40 a lot, no point in it sitting there doing nothing. But I don't know if I could bring myself to go camping with it though! I admire them for that.

 

[Dan]

the excitement of knowing the engine might be on fire at any moment...

Heh. Ferrari.
