Enzo when your 23 and have millions who wouldn't enjoy flaunting the money at least i would. This guy enjoys life. I know some other millionaires that shop at walmart and look for discounts.

People who are reckless with money, or spend it carelessly, almost always find it in short supply - in some cases, it just may take a while. The American economic system is very fluid; it's not uncommon for those who inherit great wealth to squander it within a single generation.
With regard to the Enzo clientele, this is a special case. Ferrari is only producing 349 Enzos worldwide. Only 349 customers. One would expect these people to be very well heeled, as in the top percent of the top percent. Otherwise, they won't be well heeled for very long.
As for mass market performance cars, I still say that dealers are grossly overcharging for routine service. There's no magic to an oil change.

Who is it that is buying the Enzo, Les Wexner? He is the founder and owner of The Limited stores and ownes a lot of Columbus to boot. The guy is rolling in money. I don't think he will blink at $730.00 for an oil change. His house is sick (he is a client of our, or rather his companies are).

Yea, he has some mad cash.
What he doesn't know is that I licked his door handle first!

Well I saw 360 on the road and Daaaaaaaaaaaaang it's purdy. Much better looking than the Enzo.
Here's a link - warning lots of flash, slow to load.

Although i think the Enzo they made in the late sixties is the best looking car ever IMHO.

If you dig around on the Web you can find a video of Tiff Needell test driving the new Enzo. It's a great video.
Tiff says that photos don't do the car justice. When you first see it in person, "the hairs stand up on your neck." (He means that in a good way!)
