my brother used to have a porsche and that thing was a money pit. in the second year he had it, he had to spend $10,000 on a trans and rear end. the dealer did not cover any part of it either. his sun roof got stuck open one time too. it didnt take long for him to get rid of it. they may be nice cars but i was not impressed at all with the cost vs quality and performace.

Ferrari Enzo.

The money doesn't stop flowing once the Enzo is in your garage, either. According to a 2003 Car and Driver article, replacing the brake pads costs $6,000, and the carbon-ceramic brake rotors go for $24,000. A special oil must be used (or else Ferrari will consider the warranty void) -- the oil costs $60 a quart. Oil required: Shell Helix 10w60 (syn) $60 a quart, 12.2 quarts are required. That's $732 before you even get to the filter and labor!
