I wonder if today's auto enthusiasts are missing out on a very important part of the whole car experience. As much as I love my McLaren P1, all I can do is drive it. The fact that I can't access the engine and do basic maintenance on it sometimes makes me feel like a bit of a poser. I don't in any way consider myself a race-car driver, but I do take pride in the fact that I'm really pretty well-versed in how my machines work.
I had something happen the other day that drove this point home to me. My friend David Lee, who is an avid Ferrari collector, brought over his yellow 1971 Ferrari Daytona Spyder for me to drive. David is an extremely generous owner who loves nothing more than driving his cars and sharing that experience with others. To those of us of a certain age this was the holy grail of Ferrari. This was Ferrari's frontengined answer to the new midengined Lamborghini Miura.
