- Previous Ferrari Video: • Ferrari 360 Spider - R...
In this video I answer a subscriber's question: Is it possible to daily drive a Ferrari 360? Check out what I think.... - Авто та транспорт
Driving a Ferrari every day is a hassle for me too. It means installing Logitech G29 steering wheel on my table.
lol
Cant you just leave it installed?
Same here w g920
Reaching over it and typing on the keyboard is even more annoying. That's why I don't daily drive mine ;)
I go to work on a bicycle - in the rain and snow - do a 12 hour shift and then cycle back home - you have got to be shitting me.
Stephen Barry- Hey...can’t blame the guy for your issues...plus you read the video title before watching it...you knew what was coming. Quit being whiny about your issues & do something about it, don’t complain 2 others as if the world owes you something.
Antonio Arancivia- Hey...I can not blame you for not having a sense of humour. Your wound up pretty tight-are you having a bad day-would you like to lend my bike.
Stephen Barry- Damn...you’re terrible at telling jokes boss....sorry I didn’t catch your little joke there.
Antonio -Damn....I am getting a bad feeling about you....this is my last reply to you...ON YOUR BIKE - BOSS.
Stephen Barry
So? Do you want an applause or something? Or should rich people feel pity or sadness about your hard life? If you’re not satisfied with driving your bicycle for 12 hours - Do something about it. Find a better job, get a better education, learn more useful skills...whatever. I know it’s easier said than done, but still, trust me, it can be done.
(I got my driving license at 16 and I was driving a VW Golf 4, then upgraded to a Toyota Prius, now I’m 18 and I drive a BMW m435i convertible worth 80k and a VW Touareg worth 38k.)
He talked me out of owning one... right up til 11:28... then I’m back into envy mode
SAME HERE! That symphony makes all that hassle worth it!
Friend of mine has one a took me for a quite a long drive mainly through a city.
The attention you get was a little intimidating at busy streets.
Driving through tunnels was amazing fun. Seeing your reflection in the shop window amazing.
But when I got to get out after 1hour and half my bum was numb and my back hurt lol
Almost bought a Ferrari, glad I saw this video. Thanks!
i daily drive it ... you can go offroad hit a tree in 200mph and still ok .... but only virtual one the one from real world i canno't afford :D with my pay like maybe in 20 years without any cost of living :D
You can daily it, believe me
Honestly, your outlook on day to day life was more important.
The Ferrari & the bright sun shinny morning was just a backdrop.
Never change.
Stay young, brother.
👍
thanks mate!
Must be a horrible life....
You can't imagine
🤣🤣🤣
@@TheSushiandme Then get rid of your wealth and fancy car and see what happens.
@@TheSushiandme Awesome, once your car and wealth are gone and you're flat broke, it will be so much easier getting women, you will love your new found poor life. As you struggle to pay bills and keep food on the table, not mention any money left to take you or your woman out, you will feel so lucky and you'll say to yourself, why didn't I do this sooner.
@@TheSushiandme Now you're thinking! Bravo!
“Normal family car” pans to a new focus RS. really? That ain’t normal
This comment is brought to you by pure jealousy.
lmao!!!
Hahah same. My lame ass Jetta SEL and me are jelly!
You can own shit like this my dood. Go to school, work your ass off, get some industry experience, go to more school, keep aggressively moving yourself up. Sacrifice time, friends, everything to keep chasing positions and money and being smart with what you have. Buy cars, pay them off, trade them up for the next level of car, pay it off... eventually you'll always have a high end car for a low end payment if you do it smart, invest, wait until you're 50-60... prioritize the car over the house or wife or whatever. Bam, there you go. Easy!

@@shane864 easier said than done
Great vid. Such a first world problem 😂
hehe...yes it is!
Fezza, thank you for this wonderful, hilarious video!
I'm going to daily drive a ferrari now. 1st world luxuries. :)
Mr. X that makes sense
@Tupac Shakur good speech tupac, when you coming back to Coachella
Edit: ?
Reasons that aren't a Ferrari problem: You have a crappy garage. You live on a hill. You can't pick up the kids in a two-seater. You don't put your bag the passenger foot-well.
Reasons that are a Ferrari problem: Oil temp, speed bumps, parking, entry/exit, people's reaction to it,
U r right bro
Speed bumps are not a Ferrari problem. The car is meant to sit low to the ground for performance. If you cannot maneuver over or around a speed bump, then you are driving down the wrong road.
I've seen lambos rip there front grill in NYC streets that are smooth
But just a tad bit misaligned
Had to get out and pick up the carbon fiber parts and store it away
His best reason is that it needs to be special when you take her out.
Get your butler to warm the car up before you go while you have breakfast or coffee
Either I'm not getting the sarcasm or there are a lot of jealous and envious people in the comment section.
They're just joking around *facepalm*
Haha ya think?
Driving my F12 TDF to work every day is a hastle too! It means I have to take the model off the shelf and balance myself on it.
Of course I wouldn't daily drive my Ferrari. I'd have 17 other cars to choose from.
In America you can buy a 360 in need of repair for 30k usd. There are UA-cam guys who have bought auction ferraris...if you are mechanically minded and diligent a working stiff could make it a reality without being rich. Insurance wise get collector car insurance and keep your mileage down...it is doable.
@@brandonbentley8532 I'm not rich! You don't need to be rich to buy one but you do have to have the money to maintain these cars. The parts are expensive and they are complex and beyond most people's mechanical ability to fix by themselves, especially when electrical issues strike which is a common problem with them.
I’ll trade you my Chevy Tahoe. All of your problems will go away.
I’ll trade you that Chevy Tahoe for a Bicycle...
All these negative comments😅. If this man wants to cover it with a blanket at night and read it a story, that's his decision. He clearly earned that ride, if you earn something at that level, you will baby it as well. Congratulations man, nice car.
Jordan Yagelnesky but then you wouldn’t complain about owning it
@@damot1051 complaining a little about extravagance is a round about way of being modest in a weird way
Dude is explaining not complaining.
excellent .
that may be true, but the least one can do is not to fall for bollocks like "let the enginge idle until hot"...
I would die of anxiety every time I would need to park the Ferrari in this garage.
It's far from ideal!
Dropped a like because he helped the bug, aw 💗
thanks mate :)
I would too.
If he found that bug crawling on the hood leaving behind a trail of mucus fluid that guy would have flicked the bug onto the floor and stomped it
Lol me too. You can tell a lot about a person in how they treat other living things
Someone is having a bad day.....
And it just got worse squishhh.
👌 he took the other method good job mate
It's a very expensive smell.

He would not smell it if he knew how to drive it
It’s also a very expensive sound
He aint lying though

1. WARMING YOUR CAR FOR 10 MINUTES IS A WASTE OF GASOLINE. SLOWLY DRIVE YOUR CAR AND SLOWLY ACCELERATE.
2. YOU CERTAINLY NEED A MUCH BIGGER GARAGE.
Letting it warm up supposedly causes more wear than slowly driving as well.
WHY ARE YOU YELLING
My father is a mechanical engineer and yes, we must heat up the engine first for at least 2-5 minutes, did you know about fuel injection in car? I know for some people logic they say that doing as what you say will save the gasoline while it can be true but it will interrupted your engine, easier to say, if one didn't heat up the car and doesn't let the fuel injected in the engine, the engine will suddenly stop after you turn it on which then caused the engine survivability hold for only a few weeks or month after warranty expired. I'm not a specialist as my father is but he kinda taught me that it is important to heat up the engine first before driving it. And he'd get mad if i didn't heat up the car and drive because a lot of money will fly if we care more about gasoline than the car engine.
If you're using that car daily then it is okay, but as for this guy who's riding ferrari once in a while, a warm up important. It's like human too, we must warm up first before doing things, then start jogging slowly after a warm up. You can't just "oh boy, let's run as fuq boi to warm my body up" then u got cramped. Pkdndksdjfkxc fuck I'm lazy to write shit now... But
An important note specially if you want to buy a supercar like ferrrari or porsche or camaro or any other good car out there... Meh
Let's just end this here, I'm tired to type in detail
@@levis5230 everyone says this, but there's no difference really. I'd rather have people let it warm up a few minutes than instantly taking off after starting it
@@TheScrubmuffin69 in the end yeah it doesnt matter, unless it's a Fiat Chrysler product lol. Yeah it's not about fuel or about engine wear. Everyone does what they think is best and the cars will keep going.
Well the last 45 seconds of the video changed my day-worth waiting for!
I just ran across this video, but you stopping to turn over that beetle tells me what kind of person you are ..subbed
Maybe if it was a Ferrari 365.
Omg, dad joke but it was funny 😂
I think I’d wait for the Ferrari 366 coming out next year
Made me chuckle!
At 11:26 it sounds like he *EXCEEDS 100mph/160kmh* as he upshifts near the redline from what is probably 3rd to 4th. The Ferarri 360 third gear will max-out at around 100mph/160kmh, so if he was flat-out flooring it and needed to upshift to 4th gear then he was moving in triple-digit speeds. He opens it up a second time at 11:49 and reaches around the same speed. The car sounds absolutely brilliant!
What sucks about cameras sometimes is that it looks like he's barely moving even though you can easily tell from the engine noise that he's cooking pretty good. There's just something about seat-of-the-pants feel that doesn't translate well to video.
I owned a 2004 360 F1 for two years and I loved it!
1. Your clutch is slipping too much in first gear. Adjustment needed (I live on a hill and didn't have that problem).
2. Instead of letting it idle, just take it easy for the first few miles.
3. You are like me, I kept it for special occasions, made driving it something to look forward to, an event.
You got it right when you said: "It is an occasion car, so you make it feel more special than if you daily drive it"
I never realised just what a hassle owning & using a Ferrari is.. i’m surprised he has the staying power but clearly this man is a hero in the face of true adversity & hardship. 👏 bravo 👏
As a car fan and amateur driver as well as trackdays enthusiast (have 4 cars; one for trackdays only) I can agree with everything that you said. I'm about to buy my first Porsche but I was tempted by a Ferrari F430 (I love that exact model specifically). I'm just 35 and had my first kid recently which has showed me that a 2 seat car its not for me now. I also know of this things said in the video so I decided to go for a 911: I can put my kid there, and its a very good daily driver for some days (usually I drive a sedan).
As I said I already know of those things about the Ferrari (have some friends with one) but not everyone knows so I think this a very informative video.
Also very nice ;)
I think you hit the nail on the head when you talked about enjoying the drive. When I was in my 20's I had a 1985 Fiat Bertone X1/9. I loved to just take it out for long drives on winding scenic roads where I live on the weekends. It was by no means a Ferrari but it was a great little Italian sports car and I miss her.
This is an early 2000s supercar keep in mind. Supercars have come a long way in the last 15 years, in every conceivable aspect, including reliability and user friendliness. Not to mention that if you’re rich enough to buy a new supercar, the maintenance costs would be trivial. There were a bunch of rich Chinese students at my college who daily drove their lamborghinis and Aston Martins and treated them like any other car. Some of them were street parked the whole semester!
Daily drive my F12, leave it out side, battery is fine, bag on passenger seat, just drive of steady until engine is warm, know where I am parking before I set off, ignore everyone around me, for everything else I take the Toyota pickup.... just love using the ferrari though like to think I know the car inside out in all weather conditions. Thanks for the video nice watching the car thanks for saving the bug👍
Not sure where you live but people around where I drive won't let you ignore them. They will cause a wreck and I see it a lot.
this video was such a joy to watch. Gives you a little more perspective seeing it form the owners of Ferrari's
I couldnt agree more. My special car is an old 70s BMW. Before, I used to take it out every other day. I drove it so often that I started neglecting it. Started collecting trash in it, forgot to care for it properly and just got used to it to the point that the car didn't feel special to me anymore. Now I only use it occasionally, mostly weekends or once monthly and the car is much more enjoyable to drive. Every trip in it is now special again. I look forward to it.
I really like this guy. He is just like me, even thinks like me. This car is special so make every trip special. Even my wife agrees. She loves it and it's great when we go on a special trip. Thanks.
i had a Bentley and had similar problems, couldnt park it in the garage it was too longfor a start, when i took it out, i felt like a celebrity although i was not, it grew a crowd where i was parked, it was photographed , i was asked questions, on the plus side i was always offered best seats in a restaurant and even free drinks in a few, it did attract the police one pulled me over just to look over it not for isuing tickets but because of interest.
YES I suppose that was a few reasons why you didnt drive it every day. The car liked being driven and was a pain when it was not though.... It was a pity i had to let it go as i moved and didnt have the space to park it but happy days....
Great video. That sweet sound near the end on rear mounted camera was music to my ears well done
Thanks and glad you liked the video :)
Nice video: liked the practical, picturesque and philosophical aspects of the video. Well done.
Thank you :)
Has an electric garage door but opens it with a key
You must understand the mind of the engineer. The small door with the keyhole is for human transit, the big door with the electric motor is for vehicle transit. You don't want to mix the buses and get it to malfunction.
Lmao!
I noticed there are bars over all the windows in his home.
I am surprised as an engineer you are not aware that it is better to warm the engine by driving the car gently rather than letting it idle...
When I leave my house I have to join a dual carriageway from a standstill. It needs plenty of revs to get up to speed so it's best to warm the engine a little instead of doing that with a cold engine.
Fezza disagree, anyway, either way, it won't make much difference. Keep up the good work.
I read it in a F430 manual that you should wait until a certain oil temp before you go to a certain rev range. Sounds like he needs to hit higher rpms close to his home, so warming it up is a good idea. He could of course go on a short street drive to warm up quicker instead of it sitting on his driveway, but like you said, it probably doesn't really matter.
gpage its a förrari, its built for track days, high revving all day long, it will be fine lol...
Lol it has no carburator so no need at all to w8 for ur car to warm up.just dont come close to full throtle..its not even a diesel lmao
Hi Steve, love your video. It's the epitome of what enthusiastic amateur UA-cam should be all about. Don, informative, insightful. Thank you as I was going tempted by a black 360 but I think I'm going to go the maranello option now!!! See you on the roads of Majorca one day 😎😎
You're such a chill guy who's also fun! Congrats on doing your job well and hard and earning well enough to afford a dream car for almost everyone in this comments thread. Thanks for showing us a perspective we didn't know about this beast of a car! Cheers mate!
Thanks for the nice comment Alister :)
Owns a Ferrari but doesn’t own an average garage.
Well it’s A 50 k used Mondena ,anyone can afford that ....
@Hedi Benmbarek you are very disconnected to reality if you think "anyone" can afford to spend 50k in a Ferrari (or any other 50k car for that matter, new or used) plus the expensive insurance, plus maintenance. Good for you.
Hedi Benmbarek there are many logical reasons why it’s “only” $50k... one being maintenance. You’re going to be dropping atleast $15k annually assuming you drive it somewhat “often” as something tends to break every month. Once something big breaks that’s when that atleast $15k rises... which too is common if you just simply do some research. No one wants to own these because it’s a bitch to deal with considering how much you spend fixing it when you could’ve just opt for a better Ferrari at that point. As a result this car keeps dropping in value.. it’s not shocking it’s just common sense.
Really, plowing money into a car when your house has a broom closet for a gararge. You could bump out the garage door a couple of feet and get two cars in there.
Broom Closet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
I just bought a mint 2002 360 Spider, traded in my Aston Martin. This is my first Ferrari so your videos and experiences are great to watch.
+Jamie Matheson great stuff Jamie! Enjoy your 360.... it's such an intoxicating car :)
Jamie Matheson would you please give me a ride on the 360 I mean with all my respect I'll say it Ferrari 360 my dream car
Prevost H3-45 shut your mouth. Your logic is retarded. I bet you drive a Honda that no one cares about.
Driving an exotic vehicle everyday is a pain and I can actually relate to a lot of the points you have with parking, getting out, speed bumps, warm up, attraction, noise, racing, etc. Great video and beautiful car and scenery.
As someone looking to pull the trigger on a Ferrari 360 Manual, this was a terrific video. Absolutely loved it. Informative and entertaining. Love your 360 Spider.
Really good video. Really good advice to young people dreaming to buy a supercar. I also think having the garage is a must
Idk why ppl still think that letting car engine get "warm" is better than drive it calmly xD
It used to be true for quite a while, i guess old habits die hard.
Lol 👌🏻
Well, if you don't know, then maybe you should ask.
Porsche has specified for over 30 years to turn the ignition, start the car and drive away, no warm-up. It was in the instruction manual of my 1984 928.
Parking a car like this is surprisingly the main issue - you literally can’t just leave it places you could a normal car, so you end up just saying f*** it and keep on driving (it’s so addictive anyway).
Serious point: I don’t have any experience of this Ferrari but unless the manufacturer specifies, you shouldn’t warm up any car by leaving it idling - it wears the engine terribly because it is grinding cold for longer. It warms up far quicker if you drive it (gently), overall reducing engine wear.
Great video! Very informative & eye opening. The real life owner's point of view is way better than someone's review. Thanks for the engine soundtrack at the end!
I feel you man. My ferrari attracts too much attention. I just wanna drive casually
The car that keeps on giving, sounds awesome and keeps the fun alive when you drive it on the weekend even more as you don't get used to it great video cheers steve :-)
thanks Steve!
What do u do for a living
He eats every day
Great video I have half of the same problems in a C4 , 3rd ,4th Gen T/A...in humble USA...They just sit at home. Fingers crossed one day I'll have all those problems. Thanks for sharing.
Nice video, informative and honest. I live in Jerez and we had a 360 which was seen almost daily a few years back (not seen it in recent years) but I think it all depends on how much you care for your Ferrari. You clearly take care about warming it up correctly but not everyone does this, and then of course they start getting reliability issues (maybe that's why the 360 is no longer around). So yeah, all depends on how you treat your Ferrari and how far you're willing to ignore correct use. And then there's the parking but I guess if your A to B commute has ample room at both destinations, you're ok in that respect. I used to work in the City and would see a 550 drive past every day but the City is weird like that...
Thanks for helping Mr.Beetle out. 👍
:) What is it you do for a living?? hahah. Thanks for sharing this. It is indeed the closest I can get to such a great machine. Speed bumps...well...i do too take them sideways in my mazda 6 lol.
Great video! I love the engine sounds, the multi gear tear just puts a smile on ur face : )
The sound when you started the car was orgasmic! Thanks for sharing.
tip if you want to warm your oil up faster
just have it in neutral and hold the RPM around 2000-2500
its most faster if you hold the rpm around 7000-8000
@@dare60000 wouldn't recommend revving at 7000 on a cold start. its a good way to ware out your internals unless you have very low tolerances.
Might as well rename the video to
Why the hell did I buy a Ferrari?
The video title quite clearly states the problems with *DAILY* driving a Ferrari.
He is pointing out why he wouldn't want to *DAILY* drive his Ferrari. Stop being bitter.
SEVENTEEN it was a joke. Didn’t think a UA-cam comment could make somebody so butt hurt. Grow up. Stop being bitter? Coming from the person who just wrote one of the most bitter things I have read in a while. Been a while since you’ve been laid hey? Lack of sex can really make people not think straight. Guy can do whatever with his money but it does seem like a pretty useless vehicle to me. even just as a Sunday driver. Ferrari’s look cool but are overrated

Haha touché
you've got a good point there bro, i dont have a ferrari but a sl55 which im gonna look at as an occasion now everytime i rarely drive it , thanks for the vid
The only "serious" issue is the oil temp but that's the case with most V engines since there are 2 blocks basically.
It sounds to me that the car can be daily driven, of course not at the ease of a hatchback but it is a supercar, what are people expecting?
And about driving everyday, if you drive it everyday you get to enjoy the small rides even more. There is nothing better after a busy day at work than taking a beautiful 360 spider and drive the long twisty road home.
I experience the same every day in my BMW Roadster. I miss it each and every time I have take the family vehicle.
Because its not a Porsche.
Might as well buy an Audi
Porsches are awesome👍🏻
Awesome where??? In Germany...... maybe.... but out Germany is NOTHING
Thank God for that....
Beetles are something else than Ferraris. 😋
How come does it smell clutch?
At the end of the video Marie has the camera at the back that sounds so f****** good it literally hurts that I don't have one but I get to bask in the joy that there is someone out there experiencing it and in that it makes me happy
I forgot how good the 360 engine sounds -- this car sounds Epic -- it makes me smile.
Great video and similar to the reasons I sold my Ferrari in the US and bought a 911. Funnily enough I maybe moving to Spain and was thinking of buying another Ferrari as I thought I could use it more often.
thanks Jon. Yes, it's a good place to have a car like this because there are many ways you can enjoy it!
Thats what i thought. I noticed you are on F chat so may ping you there with a couple of questions.
go back to bed and dream on
I can't drive my Mitsubishi Lancer daily too! Cause at the half of month the money for fuel is empty... 🤷♂️👍
There pretty reasonable price here around $130k (30 -50k kms) also the lamb's about same price to... loved that WOT sound...

Chris, you traitor. lol.
Quinton TV Shhhh...lol
Agree. Same shit applies for driving a Porsche, except build quality is better. People harass you, police harass you, everybody gets tense. Speed bumps rips your front lip, and you have to wait ~15minutes for everything warm up before you can let the fun begin. Since I only have 10mins driving to work, I’m better off taking the ordinary car.
The best way to start moving on a hill without burning the clutch is buying a manual on the first place..... just saying... and when you sell it the give you more money for it.... WIN-WIN
it's practically impossible to get a manual version in Spain

Live the dream drive safe.
Great content.
So unnecessary. You don't have to keep it on a battery charger. You also don't have to let it run for 20 minutes, 60s would be completely fine. Just don't give it full 100% throttle until the engine is warm.
For hecks sake, it's still a car, just drive it
nallen100 You're just plain wrong. 30-60 seconds is all your car needs to circulate oil and run properly. Letting your car idle for that long actually increases the wear on your car. I challenge you to find me one article showing that you need to warm up a car for more than a minute. Go on, I'll wait.
nallen100 And I live in northern Canada, where I'm sure it is a hell of a lot colder than where you live.
Your car will warm up faster if you drive it than if you idle it. I'm not saying you should drive it hard. 30-60 seconds for the oil to circulate and lubricate components completely, and you're set. No modern car will have issues with this.
By letting your car idle to warm up, you're actually increasing the amount of time the engine runs at colder operating temperatures. Also, the transmission temperatures will only increase if you actually engage the transmission (i.e. DRIVING).
My challenge still stands- find me one source than shows you need to warm a car up more than a minute or two. Just enough to get oil circulated. Every source I've looked up states to drive the car lightly to get it to operating temperatures.
I may not be qualified for engineering or mechanics, but I do have a BSc majoring in Physics.
nallen100 it's obvious you didn't even read the article you just posted. Don't type things into Google Scholar and link them without reading. Please read it, and then understand it has no relevance at all to what we are talking about.
We are NOT talking about cold start fuel efficiency, or engine efficiency / waste heat as a result of ambient air temperature differences.
We are talking about driving after a period of about a minute until the car reaches operating temperature versus letting the car idle to operating temperature, in the interest of internal damage to an engine.
I've said a couple times already that you should not drive the car hard until it has reached operating temperature.
Why are you even arguing here? It is a waste of time and gas to let the car idle to operating temperature, and does more harm to your engine than good (oil-gasoline dilution, etc.). A modern engine would be better off idling for a minute or so and then driving lightly until higher engine temperatures are reached.
Driving lightly will heat up the engine and it's fluids car faster than idling, this is a fact.
What are you even arguing about?
nallen100 get off your fucking high horse. I never claimed to be an engineer, but what credentials do you have? Cold weather increase lubricant viscosity and increases bearing friction, increasing frictional losses inside your engine, making it less efficient. Cold start enrichment is not even relevant with modern ecus. You say 30% but yet in the article you posted, a difference between -1° and 31°C ambient air temps was an 18% increase in fuel consumption on cold start. That's 60% of what you stated multiple times.
You DO want to warm your car up quickly, as letting the car warm up slowly can cause gasoline-oil dilution and seriously harm your engine.
Just do a Google search for fucks sake. Look up "how long should I warm up my car".
nallen100 I do all the work myself and hadn't had an issue with any of my 5 vehicles since I got my license. So hard pass guy
dude, I would love to have your problems.....
Loved the speeding at the end
Way to go!!!! Love it buddy
I really needed to see this. No point in having a status symbol when you can't even enjoy the status. Gosh, you made me feel so grateful to have my hopped up vw estate. I like driving my car, not waiting an hour for the oil to heat up before i can drive it. It looks lovely though.

I'm quarter of an hour late already...
If only I had a faster car
Imagine me at a gas station:
Hi pops, nice Ferrari!
What do you do for a living ?
Ahhahaa
Enjoyable, honest video. Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoyed this video. You're very practical and logical in your synopsis. You're spot on with all of it. When people see someone in a high end sports car their first thought is always, "I wonder what they do for a living"? I don't have that problem with my 16 year old Camry. I'm sure people don't give me a second look. If they do, it's probably, " oh that poor bastard" haha. But then again, I don't have to do anything special except jump in, insert the key, turn it, and go.
The reason you have one is at the end of the video..The roar.
Watching your video made me be thankful for been unemployed and driving a 1980 Ford Corcel.... So many problems you have, mate!
Very informative, thanks!
I have a Maserati GT, it has 4.7 V8 engine made by Ferrari and the owners manual says the engine does not require lengthy warm up before driving, it recommends to just drive normally until the engine warms up, which takes much less time than the oil to also warm up to optimum.
My buddy bought 2 used Ferraris for him and his wife and he has to have them picked up for an oil change and cost about $600 per car .
Bugatti veyron is 20k
Screw the cars, where is this filmed? I love the landscape!
Edit: Got the answer from the video (somewhere in Spain).
Looks like Málaga Spain.
Very nice video! but why do you keep using the engine displacement as an excuse for the oil temp from getting up to normal range? It’s only a 3.6L v8 i have had a car with a 5.0L v8 and even a 6.7 diesel v8 that both warm up in around 2-4 minutes.
Wow. What brand of oil do you use in the 360 MOTUL, LiquiMoly?
Do you wanna race while you tell me what you do for a living?

I could live with all these problems if I owned one!
Nice honest admission... We almost always see the race and the glamour sight of it..
Glad you gave it a good squirt at the end. Sounds brilliant!!!...Oh and good on you for saving the beetle.
