S class V12 for someone under 30 (let alone under 25) living in LA would easily be about $3k a year in insurance.
Suburbs of big city, homeowner, clean record, etc. Nothing too dramatic.
I'll be honest I was surprised at how cheap the quotes were when I was considering the 600. I paid about 3x more for a Golf sized car with 20% of the BHP back home (living with parents, car garaged, clean record etc.) as an 18yr old.

Ferari have become so plastic and their clearly aiming to the target market of Russians and Arabs. Nothing wrong with that, just not my taste and a far cry from what they used to be.
Pagani? really guys? So nouveux. You;re also ed on anything less than perfectly flat roads which means the car is useless in London, Paris, LA, NY, etc. Great if you live in northern Utah, but not really anywhere else.
Who cares about roads if you have a rear wheel drive Pagani which is faster on the circuit than a Veyron. For the city you have a Landrover.
Ferrari is too close to Fiat, Pagani only to, well Koenigsegg?

I decided to buy a new car and bought me this:
Fun little car. 2013 WRX. Just put a Rockford Fosgate 12" Sub and Power series amp, integrated to the factory deck. Once warranty goes out, I'll do the Cobb stage 1 tuning, intake, and all that good stuff. All wheel drive is nice compared to the 2004 Mustang Mach 1 I traded in.

Love Subarus. So fun to drive.

have you ever driven a real wheel drive car ? I used to drive one in the winter and you would just start doing a 360 if you apply the slightest gas at the wrong time. Doing 360s at 60 km/h during rush hour is not really as fun as it should be.

Erm, yeah, because having a car that is good on the track when driven by a professional race car driver but ing useless in any other situation is great.
And Landrover for the city? Lolzors. Aside from them being unweildly, 3 ton solid masses, they are horrible to drive in narrow streets, even worse in traffic and there's nothing more ****liche than a city land rover.

Fiat is Ferrari. Pagani is all flash and no class.

Lol, aside from the fact I've never seen a farm with such manicured concrete "paths", watch how he slows down to 10mph when there's a little dip ahead in the road.
This is the nicest car I have ever driven. And not the standard DB5, the Vantage. And not one that Vantag'ed after the fact - one of the 64 that ever made. My boss owned one and used to drive it work occasionally.

Of course, my previous car next to the family car was a Suzuki Vitara 2.0 Cabrio, which had rear wheel drive and turns around that quick that there is nothing to correct that, due to the short wheelbase. On the road with snow I used 4x4, but then it still hated curves.
My dad drives BWM 3 series for like 25 years, so yep, often drove rear wheel drives, sucks in winter. Beamers whoever have electronics to keep you on the road sort of. I guess my driving tractors being a kid doesn't count.
It's awesome a Pagani in Top Gear was that quick just with rear wheel drive while others went to four wheel drive.

Good god man, quite possibly one of the most heinous cars ever made:
I think that fact you owned one, disqualifies you from any discussion on vehicles, and completely ratifies why you think the Pagani is a good looking car.
