What is the % of Ferraris, and other super high end cars that NEVER touch the road?

Or, after many years have less than 1000 miles on them? But have still had their $10k oil change every year, just in case?

Those cars are in a different league. They are functional. But more collectors items and art than daily drivers.
To compare a Ferrari to a Geo metro or a Fiat 500, is just not a reasonable thing to do.

Just about any ICE is far more practical than an EV. Why else have they been used exclusively for over 120 years.

EV’s are just being used in an attempt to keep people from travelling and destroy the ICE. There is no infrastructure to support EV’s and what little there is is heavily centralized and poised to be shut down at a moments notice.

They’ve made “progress”. For the more “normal” Ferraris, that yearly oil change is down to “only” $1500. And they’ve started using timing CHAINS instead of belts. It was the “engine out timing belt services” that were $10,000, and had to be done yearly on the V-12 models.
