Once Upon a Time in Monterey

synopsis: A few guys buy a Ferrari Enzo (kinda) and enter it in the Quail Lodge Concours (sorta) and do some other things.

Glad you liked it.

I laughed out loud a lot during that video. I would not have had the guts to do what they did... glad they were brave enough. Pretty cool.

I laughed a lot too and thought ... man these guys are crazy ... I wasn’t loving the part where they got the trophy at the second place and the head guy kept calling them idiots ...

I think you misunderstand the point of Concours d'Lemons.

Nah .. I completely get it, it is just at the award winning time I am not a fan of the way it comes out.

I don’t mind them calling the car the worst of show (or whatever they called it) I just don’t like the guy calling him and his buds idiots ... let’s make fun of the car not the guys that had the balls to bring it ... at least that is the way I look at it.

Meanwhile I sent the video to quite a few buddies and found new youtubers to watch ... thanks

Can someone give a two sentence summary of the video that I’m not going to watch?

...[pause]... I mean, it identifies as an Enzo.
I enjoyed the video. An expensive gamble, which paid off well in entertainment value.

Yeah, but counterpoint, the "identifies as a..." joke model is kind of shitty and transphobic and unnecessary.
