You don't need to accept anything when it comes to a $400,000 sports car. Ferrari drivers put like 1600 miles a year on their car, it's not even transportation, it's a weekend toy. They can just buy other toys, like helicopter rides, or whatever other thing will come along that will give them the thrill they want.

A lot more people drive around sports cars than ride around sports horses.

Whoever rides a horse might have no interest in sports cars.

( 100+ years of having cars, and there are a large number of people who still spend lots of money to get a horse's clippity-clop )

I actually don't have to accept it, same with automatic trans. If I'm going to splurge on something impractical like this, it better be awesome. Can't blame Ferrari for their decisions seeing how they want to be the fastest and also stay in business, but nothing after the F430 is exciting.
