A lot of one's life can be wasted commuting... not my idea of time well spent! Sounds like Bacura has the right idea....

True but a sacrafice some of us decided to make. In my case comes down to cost of property. Prices in Brampton are insanely high when compared to Cambridge. Most of my co-workers commute too. On top of that, I have no desire to live in Brampton anyways. An hour each way a day is accaptable to me but might not be for others.

How many cars is he talking about? There is at least 4... big deal?

Crap, I just got sucked into the useless thread vortex...

I just got off the phone with Remo Ferri. He has promised me the first LaFerrari for Canada. I know $1.2 million is a lot but I am getting an extended warranty for the first 100000 Km. It's not quite fast enough for a daily driver so I'm adding NO2. I'm thinking 1500 HP "might" suffice for those long commutes along the 401. My wife will use it when she goes to Longo's. I told her that it's just a car so throw the groceries in the front seat and don't worry about any dings. I am a little worried about scraping the front end on ramps so I having Ferrari just remove the front spoiler completely. Looking for any advice I can get from you guys. Thanks in advance!

Any time spent driving a Porsche is time well spent.

This is very true! Touche.

I agree with you Imo... I would not want to live in Brampton either! Cambridge would definitely be preferred, a much nicer place to have a family.

Very nice! I recommend an engine swap with the Ferrari F1 engine though. They require frequent rebuilds and race fuel, but the sound is worth it.

Cheap solutions, guys. My new Lambo VeyRonan is the ticket...take the basic McLaren P1, get rid of the engine, drop the W16 in, and have it assembled at Sant'Agate by Lamborghini...I do need some advice on trim though..does a python skin dash make to much of a statement for a daily driver? (I have of course put on snow tires)

I'd recommend integrating C-130 JATO rockets to the launch control...help stay ahead of the TTC
