ALL I CAN SAY IS DRIVE YOUR CAR MORE!!! Mine is just 13 months old...daily driver and has a tad over 25,000kms on the clock and I love driving it as much as I did the day I bought it!
I nearly sent Revolver a text the other day to say I had just driven the best bit of road the best I ever have and work paid for my time to do it!

I'd love to drive my car more but the expense and hassle of driving into Sydney's CBD every day just isn't worth it. I may as well be driving a Corolla in that kinda traffic. I think that's why I really value the fun I do have in the car at weekends, evenings, etc.

I know, when I am in Sydney it always amazes me how many cars and how slow your traffic is......driving in Adelaide you can have a fang and not hit anyone...just have to be careful of speed detection devices.....but they never have them on corners!!

... speak for yourself, I almost took out about 5 pedestrians on a 4 kilometre drive from Walkerville to the Adelaide CBD this morning. They were all out like lemmings today - crossing the road from behind buses, crossing the road looking the wrong way, random jaywalking.
At least one of them would be dead if I was driving something less nimble ...

You mentioned speed detection devices ... I saw the "road safety cameras" aka revenue raising devices on punt rd on the prahan side have been spray painted over the lenses hahahaha ... that's what we should be doing! We should declare war against the state government for their need to tax us even more! If we get rid of those cameras, we'd be able to live more relaxed and fruitful lives

Speaking of carparks, how funny was that Top Gear segment when the boys were trying to squeeze a Zonda, Clarkson's GT40 and some other bit of exotica out of the narrowest carpark exit in the world, only to be nearly foiled by the driveway angle. They had to build little ramps from packing cases from memory.
I still wince at the sound of the Zonda's carbon air dam hitting that unforgiving concrete surface.

Now I have the Stormy Blue, I am of the firm opinion that Stormy Blue is the quickest colour.

Mind you, I think the little kid in all of us would love to cruise around in a Pagani Zonda. It's just so OTT, the kind of thing you'd doodle in your school book.

Go stealth.

The admiring looks I get when it is clean make up for the utter contempt and disdain I suffer when it is dirty.

(although not the GT3 RS, that thing is a little OTT with the roll cage in the back seat)
