Reply to comment by GamerRager in I just saw someone at Hanny’s buy $200 of Halloween candy and drive off in a $350K McLaren 720s by Guygan

I saw a lambo with Maine plates last month in Ellsworth. Honestly, I’m not giving these people a hard time for it, I just can’t believe that anyone local would subject cars like that to roads like this.

That's what I was thinking, these roads are not kind to low riding vehicles. Hell, even sometimes freshly paved roads are still bad.

There are quite a few supercar owners in Maine, although they're mostly older rat-fucked or heavily-modified Gallardo's. You could buy them for ~$80-90k used a few years ago. You can still get a semi-low mileage Gallardo Spyder for about $129k, which is only about $20k more expensive than the Ford F-150 Raptor or the new Range Rover. Still likely out of reach for the average Mainer, but not for an older car enthusiast or business owner.

But you're 100% right - unless you've got a fat bodywork budget, owning a vehicle with such a low ground clearance in Maine is ridiculous. Many have airbags to lift the front a bit, but you'd be stuck riding on those 24/7 in most places in the state.
