It's too bad that the state of roads in most countries is aweful and can't support anything approaching high speeds, let alone this insane 490 km/h.

- mosselman 7y agoYes it is such a shame that the roads are such that when I am on the road with my family some crazy daredevil can't drive 490km/h near us. The roads are for getting from A to B, not racing. If you want to go 490km/h, go to a race track.
- axilmar 7y agoWouldn't you like to reach your destination in a much shorter time than usual? I certainly would.
- mosselman 7y agoYes, because people who want to go 490km/h want to do so because it gets them to B quicker, not because they want to have fun. Also, no, I'd rather be safe from my own and other's mistakes, which are far more likely to happen at that pace and I'd rather have lower emissions from all cars. I am happy to sacrifice speed for that.

- mrweasel 7y agoMy old boss had his Ferrari fitted with winter tires to drive it year round in Denmark. His logic: Why should I only be able to drive the car I love driving 5 month a year. (That answer is related to the heater, or lack there of, in a Ferrari. It is apparently really cold driving it in January) I like that approach a lot more. What the point of having an awesome car, if you're afraid to drive it.
- perl4ever 7y agoSomebody told you Ferraris don't have heaters?
- mrweasel 7y agoI think the actual words was something like “they might as well not have heaters”.
- perl4ever 7y agoI found a youtube video where someone was testing a Ferrari to see how well the heater worked, compared to a Mini, but once I saw that he was just idling them and not driving them, I decided it was lame and not to link it.
