Even those that drive $440,000 cars need screws and nails.

And yes, it was left unattended.

When people park like that I purposely pull into the spot right next to them, preferably a few inches away from the driver's side door.

I'd love to be the cop giving him a ticket for that parking violation. Rich ***hole! He took up two spaces to park that tiny car! Sorry, I just couldn't help but mention it ! Nice Porsche but not at that price!

5.7 ltr V-10
605 HP
435 lb-ft torque
205 MPH top speed
0-60 3.8 seconds

I think it's worth it's 440,000 MSRP not including destination and taxes.. afterall, it comes with a 5 piece luggage travel set

I went out with a girl from New City, but her parents didn't have a car like this.

Ford GT
3.3s 0-60

the Ford GT is faster on top end and about they are actually much closer to each other in 0-60 then the reported numbers, the Ford GT is actually more like 3.4-3.5sec and the Carrera GT is more like 3.5-3.6sec, both are lightning fast, the Ford GT actually has a top end faster than the Enzo, but where these European cars have it beat is on a track and not on a straight line, they have better handling and can maintain faster speeds through turns and the Ford GT is in fact slower than the Carrera GT on a race track, but these differences are very small especially when compared to the price tag difference. Each and every "supercar" has an outrageous markup and the Carrera GT's is about 100 grand like the Ford GT's, but no matter who you slice it, if you could afford it then they are all worth it, I would have one of each like Nick Cage or Jay Leno (Carrerra, Ford, SLR, Enzo, Murcialago), and if you guys think that those cars look good sitting still you should see and hear them in motion, better yet you need to take a ride in one, WOW.

here are some vids I have taken of them....
Carrera GT....

Murcialago....

I am not sure on this one because I cant remember and the vid isnt clear enough to really make it out, but its either a Diablo or Countache....

Yeah, maybe if they're parking an eclipse with a bodykit, but that thing? Don't blame the guy for parking it that way, at all.

What's even more mature is that if I parked my car deliberately out of the way like that, and someone parked right next to me, I'd kick their door in so that I had a little more room to open mine.

Give the guy a break, he clearly parked away from everyone else, there's plenty of spaces, and doesn't want to be bothered. I wouldn't either. Home Depot / Lowes are the worst place to park because there's always someone trying to load a refridgerator in the side door of their minivan.
