This is a great video. The owner cracks me up. He takes the meaning of "Drive It" a little (o.k. A LOT) further than most.

To each their own, I think I would have waited until the spring thaw, 
That was outright painful...very hard for me to watch. I could see driving the car to its limits, but under the right conditions that was just foolish
Money to burn ???? 
He doesn't deserve to have that car!
I say BRAVO to Frank, drive it! Yeah dude. So long as it's his money making the repairs. What the heck, gas it Frank.
I want to hang with that guy.
You can't think like a Pantera owner in this case, carbon fiber don't rust.
Its the guys smashing light poles in the next episode I think are crazy.

That looks like a load of fun!...even though the owner is prolly a few fries short of a happy meal for driving it in the snow. Personally, I'd much rather drive that MC-12 like 50 Cent does in his rap video 'Window Shopper' -just crusing it down the strip and picking up every hottie in sight.
I'm not sure I would have taken the car out under those conditions, but I'd rather see the car being enjoyed for what it was meant to do than to just sit for 10 years in some guy's garage, get trailered to car shows, and rack up 7 miles in 10 years of ownership....
Yes!!
He has the right attitude - it is a shame to have a car like that and not drive it. Rock chips, water stains - he's right, it does make the car look meaner. Wear them like a badge of honor.
When I wrecked 2511, I felt like a BIG dummy - and I was for driving like that on a public road. But, as several fellow owners pointed out, at least I was 'driving' it. And this is what an exotic is for.
You want art, buy a painting or sculpture and display it in your home or gallery, sit down and look at it for hours on end.
But art in the form of a car is meant to be driven, that's why it has wheels.

I agree with those that say drive them.
That being said, there is a difference between driving them, and abusing them. What purpose, other than getting on TV, did driving this super car in the snow prove? It's not like he got to push the car to it's limits, he could have had more fun in a rental car, with the damage waver
Wish I had his check book.
