    I've been watching this guys' YT for quite some time and really enjoy the content. He's worked his way up from beater farm trucks to well, more expensive vehicles.

    Doesnt bother me too much. Its not a classic, a museum car, or anything irreplaceable. They're still producing them. I know a lot of people on here believe these cars need to be treated like one-off works of art, and I'd agree with super rare and limited models, but stuff still rolling down the line? Nah.

    I do wonder if hes aware that Ferrari doesnt actually sue people for simply modifying their cars. All of those cease and desist events had a lot more going on under the surface. They are more aggressive than other manufacturers, but they did technically have a case every time they sent one out even if it was "uncool" of them to do so. I know they'll remove you from VIP or refuse to sell you cars if you misbehave, but I have never heard of them going after someone legally strictly due to modification.

    He did a number on his G63. It was actually impressive the beating that thing took without missing a beat.

    That was one of the most durable tests he did. Really impressive

    I just finished watching the entire thing. I don’t really have a problem with it. In some ways it’s a wake up call to us for coveting these objects too much. He certainly had fun running it as a rally car. That experience must have been priceless and probably very lucrative with all the views he will get.

    My big problem with all of these YouTube antics is that eventually some dentist that saved his money for 20 years gets a shifty car. These guys treat these cars like crap abs then repair them and sell them to minimize their losses.

    If you watch a few more of his videos, you'll realize that at best, the "dentist" will get some F "implants" in a jar.

    There is the title of a book by Bret Easton Ellis which sums up this kind of program perfectly: "less than zero".

    War is good biz. At least the guy is generally funny.

    Highest paid youtuber made 54mil and most likely it was less than "less than zero" type stuff.

    With the way people are today watching guys like him and movies like”jackass” shows us there is a lot of money to be made for being a J/O

    He is making money every time someone watch’s and talks about it so others go to see
    The price of that car was payed back in the first 24hours of the release

    Not a bad business plan buy expensive stuff destroyed on video and have sponsors pay you for it

    It's not like it's a rare one off car. It's an F8 normal cookie cutter production run Ferrari. Only thing that separates it from any other sports car is the price and name. That is what draws the viewers. No2bodybwoukd care if it was VW golf.

    It reminded me of the "tax the rich" video's that were posted about 10 years ago (https://www.youtube.com/user/Taxtherich100). Now that I look at the channel again it appears a few videos are missing (if I recall there was one with an enzo in it).

    This video reminds me of what's going wrong with society and the ever approaching reality of Idiocracy. What a ********* and I wish Enzo were alive to see this crap today. Maybe a couple of guys from Palermo would pay this kid a visit and teach him a thing or two about respect. The men and women of WW2 era were called the Greatest Generation. This must be the worst generation.

    honestly, the only part that actually looked fun or interesting was around 9:40 when he had a few switchbacks on the driveway in the rain

    If someone asked me what the most surprising thing I learned about Ferrari owners and fans on FChat, I would say that the support of disrespecting and destroying Ferraris is acceptable. I’m not getting back into this debate as at least two people blocked me over my disgust of people mistreating Ferraris. I heard a lot of ‘it’s their money, they can do what they want with their Ferrari’ etc.

    To be perfectly honest Drew..Ferrari ad a company and a storied car builder of rare hand built special cars is well behind them. I'm a bit more upset about destroying a 308 over an F8.

    The current production cars made by Ferrari unfortunately have zero longevity built into them. They are basicly disposable items. Kinda like most electronic goods these days..Best just to throw them out after thier useful life has been used up. To expensive to repair vs just replacing it.

    The 458 and earlier cars represent an area of Ferrari that will never be repeated. The pre-share holder cars I think will be the ones to have. Anything after that I fear will just be wasted money on a product that is designed to be thrown away.
