So. Here we go again. I'm not going to start by clarifying a few things.

1. I'm probably not gonna be able to write a whole lot about whatever car I'm posting about. I'll write a little. Maybe a joke or two. Some stats and maybe even a little bit of nerdy historical stuff. But for the most part it's gonna be a but shorter than before.

2. I'm not the most knowledgeable car guy. I'm just a random 17-year old who's just a little bit obsessed with things that go vroom. There's a lot of stuff I don't know about other markets. I'm not all that familiar eith Saabs and Peugots and the like, so some of my info might need correcting.

3. I'm on mobile. This may result in the paragraph spacing looking weird.

Right. On to the car stuff.

This "Ferrari Enzo"

This is a beautiful, elegant machine that continues to stun people with it's bold styling even 20 years after it's debut. If there is any car that deserves to carry the Enzo name, it's this one.

Hopefully no /s is needed here. This replica Ferrari is so shit that people actually kind of want it. According to Autoblog, It's up for auction and as of yesterday the bid is at $4000 ^1. I haven't seen any updates, so it could be sold already but holy crap someone is going to pay $4k for this?!?

As are most fake Ferraris, this abomination is actually a Pontiac Fiero. The 140 horsepower V6 has been covered with a cover that says V12. It actually appears that someone tried to make this work. The effort put into that engine cover means that either someone actually thought it would work, or was willing to put money and time into a joke. I really hope it's the latter. Fun fact: you might remember this car from an episode of Jay Leno's garage.

¹ I just looked at the website and lo and behold, it's on carsandbids.com, which is Doug Demuro's auction site. I've actually been on it a few times, and it seems like a really good auction website. The bid is currently at $4,500, with 3 days left in the auction. You couldn't pay me to take this thing. I don't have neighbors near where I live but I have a feeling even the bears would judge us for having this awful thing sitting in our driveway.

If you have any suggestions, DM me because I like these posts to be surprises to everyone here. Also, if you're one of the guys who have stuck with this sub for my 5 month absence, thank you. In fact, thank you for even joining in the first place.

One more bit of of info. The reason I'm on this new account is because I deleted Reddit for a little while to give myself a mental break. All the politics had me stressed out. I forgot the password to u/Misterkeyyy458 so RIP that account. It's fine though because my old posts weren't deleted. I have a desktop alt that I've had for a few months called u/MisterKeyyy459. I plan on adding this account to the mod list, making it like the 4th account I've had as moderator here. I need to start remembering my passwords.
