Why do supercar owners spend $300,000, $400,000, or even $500,000 on a Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Porsche… and then barely drive it?
I used to wonder the exact same thing. Then I bought three supercars of my own, and now I finally get it.

There’s a lot about supercar ownership you don’t really think about until one is sitting in your garage. Parking becomes something you plan ahead for. Every pothole and steep driveway gets your attention. And you start thinking about mileage, depreciation, and resale value in a completely different way.
And sometimes, as ridiculous as it sounds, it’s just easier to grab the daily driver.
But after owning these cars, I realized there’s something deeper going on — and that’s the part that completely changed the way I look at driving and enjoying my own cars.
In this video, I’m sharing what I’ve learned from actually owning and driving a Ferrari F8 Tributo, Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica, and Porsche 911 Turbo S — and why I finally understand how incredible supercars end up sitting in garages with almost no miles on them.
If your dream Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Porsche was sitting in your garage right now, what would you do?
Drive it every chance you get… or protect the mileage?

What’s worse: putting too many miles on your dream car… or realizing you barely drove it before selling it? 👀
I take out my 2010 Acura TL with 252K miles on it all the time! 😂
I hope one day I can afford a Ferrari Purosangue.
It’s like marrying a supermodel and never touching her…saving her for the next guy
I understand you want a pristine car, but If you could really afford the car in the first place, then drive it as much as you would. It was meant to be driven, not stored in the garage. I would even bring it to the track and really have fun where its natural environment is. Don't baby pony a prancing horse
This doesn’t make sense… to spend half a million $$$ on a car and then worry about paint wear and tear and milage? If you’ve got that kind of money to spend on a car, the depreciation shouldn’t be a big deal. The maintenance shouldn’t be a big deal.
I just DESPISE coming out and finding people taking pictures with it. Even came back with my son once and found some guys SITTING on my car making a video or something. I was pissed and …I admit… a little scared as I was with my 14 or 15 year old son at the time and not sure how this was going to go. . And that changed things for me.. from a daily to a car I drive when I know I am parking somewhere free of aholes…. In case you are wondering We were in Downtown Atlanta.
Yooooo…Blue Shaky! 1K 🎉 Congrats!
I would make it my daily,.. Live it, drive it, see it. I get the point, it's like I handled a lot of my stuff in life and didn't really enjoy that way. So no more preserving for me,… I will go all out!!
If you can’t afford to drive it why did you buy it?
Buy cars you drive & if you’re the type to get anxious about dings & scratches why not just factor in the cost of repairing them all once a year and then forget about how & when they get there?
Pride of ownership is a real thing, as is being an enthusiast. There are cars that are work horses, and there are cars that are pieces of art. The art can be appreciated and treasured just for what it is. I take my car out rarely, and only in fair weather, and store it during the winter. I have a truck that I run errands in. Each has it's purpose, and I fully appreciate both, but for different reasons. I live in NYC, when I see people driving Lambo's and Ferrari's on some of our potholed roads, I think, "This guy has stupid money". As for turning over the car in pristine condition to someone else. That's what you are supposed to do. Hopefully the next owner will be an enthusiast who appreciates your car as much as you.
There are times when people just try to hit you for no reason

Drive the super car when you’re not in a rush to get anywhere and you’re on your own time
as someone who has an old school Sports Sedan (never thought it would be called that) 2007 S60R 6 spd manual with 170k + miles on it, which is ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to get parts for half the time…. I don't want to drive it, even though I absolutely love it, because if something happens it takes months to find parts. It used to be my daily, now it's something I can drive when I just want to have fun. I can kind of see where you are coming from with this. But you gotta DRIVE it, or what's the point?
I drive my 911 targa in my dreams all day, hasn’t lost a dollar of value
you're channel isn'g going to grow talking about this nonsense. you were clearly not meant to own or drive supercars. if you are afraid of a scratch or a pothole you need to find a new hobby. smh. also, the only people that let them sit are idiots. they MUST be driven often enough otherwise they will degrade (for a number of reasons) and lose value. you don't need me to go into all the things that must be done to maintain a garage full of supercars to keep them maintained and valued because clearly you need to do some more research and i;m not going to hold your hand. good luck with your channel because your the last guy i would take advice from with regards to owning and maintaing supercars. apparently you own them as a flex and not because you enjoy them
I think a GLE 53 AMG would be a nice daily 😂 something with height and you don’t need to worry about clearance
Something else he didnt mention is attention. If you need to do those 5 things at 4-5 different places then run off to get your kid from school and you take the Supercar then you will be late. Everytime you stop for those 5 things someone will stop you to talk about the car. Getting gas? It won’t be 5 mins or less it’s 5 mins or less to refuel and 20-30 mins of people wanting to talk to you about it or take pics etc. if it’s a little kid how do you tell him off? You can’t this could be his dream you don’t want to ruin that. If you normally can do those 5 stops in 23 mins in the Supercar it’ll be 45 minutes minimum. As for the miles thing…my favorite supercar that I know I’ll be buried in I will never care about Miles. My other ones I do try to keep down because I know I will be trading in soon. And it’s true you do worry about potholes and stuff like that wayyyy more which can ruin the drive
Supercar = Tuxedo
Daily Car = Normal clothes.
You don’t wear a Tuxedo when mowing the lawn, or running errands everyday. Each car/clothes serves a purpose.
This is what Rollies are for. Daily driver comfort but still showing up.
Lol everything said rings true for me too only my cars are not exactly super, still I love my trio of garage kept, fun cars so much that I pretty much only take them out for fun drives or car shows. I have a daily that I for commuting, trips, parking lots or friend's busy driveways.
I'm also mindful of keeping the experiences special, another reason why I went with a Sport Compact car (Fiesta ST 24k miles), Pony car (LS3 427 swapped Camaro SS 27k miles) and sports car (Elise 111 R 37k miles) to make each fun backroad run as memorable and enjoyable as possible.
The struggles of being rich
You left 2 things out:
1) we like looking at them.
2) our dailies are so good today.
I feel sorry for people who own a car with the constant idea that they will sell it.
