Now before anyone crucifies me as this car is not for me or not for anyone rich... well that's obvious... but... when owners no longer maintain the cars as they should and replace with different wheels and tires as has already happened and instead tow the vehicle to events rather than drive it as its cheaper... then it becomes a silly car. It's a great car from a technological perspective (or rather was in 2004-2005) but it's not a car that has any real world usage or ownership for anyone. It's a use, rinse and get rid of car... and my bet is that all of them will end up in museums in due time. These more modern cars like the P1 at least showcase future tech, can handle and look good... this one never did any of those... it was an experiment and it will end up as such. Numerous owners have sold them and replaced them instead with 3 other exotics.
