As much of a hero as Enzo is, I think it's fair to say he could be a bit of dick too. Lamborghini, GT40, Monteverdi etc., and I'm sure the list of cars made because Enzo pissed someone off is much longer.

It's always easier to spout moral platitudes about the cars you'd buy than actually buy one.
Sometimes I think people here don't know what components cost.
are we sure this is a troll and not just an unforunate set of coincidences. Jalopnik has had a hard time telling the difference lately.
Basically, Clarkson was driving a car whose license plate was seen as a reference to the Falklands War, fought in 1982 between Britain and Argentina, and thus a taunt towards the local populace. But then it came out that the plate simply read "H982 FKL," which is only sort-of-close to something if you're trying really…
Neither is war, but you sure presented it like it was on Thursday.
When you cultivate a reputation for stirring up shit, don't be surprised when it backfires on you. Maybe Clarkson is innocent (this time), but he's been pulling this cultural twat act for a long time.
It's the southern U.S. road trip where they painted slogans on each others cars to try and provoke an angry reaction that makes me doubt the claims that choosing a car with a "provocative" reg plate was entirely accidental.
When you deliberately start shit and call it a joke don't be surprised when the subjects of your jokery don't appreciate it and respond with something other than laughter. Clarkson is a massive twat.
Whinging like the little bitch he is. What's the matter, Clarkson? Can't take a joke?
They had it coming! Why would you provoke an entire country by making fun of a short conflict in which their country lost to England. If they did the same here in Dominican Republic I myself would be the first one to break every single piece of equipment they have and oh boy they will have to run a lot faster since…
Mr. Lauda did something that we praise other racers for; he risked everything for the chance to do what he loved, and dare I say, was born to do. Other drivers have lost their lives and we try to console ourselves with that very sentiment. He paid a heavy price, and even then was not deterred.
Keep Calm
I think it's pretty damn sexy, frankly.
There is intense and beautiful freedom in driving a car which you are not cosmetically worried about. My husband gave me a Spec Miata that is not cosmetically pretty (but it is hooked up) and my lap times increased immediately because I was not all worked up about damaging it. :)
Two-spaces guy, hands down.
The BMW M5. Put big enough brakes and even wider/sticky enough tires and any car can "handle". At almost 2 1/2 tons it is stilol inefficient as F—- but hey its Germany.
Says the cunt speaking English under a nuclear umbrella.
