Mclaren F1 fuel cells
I was watching Jay's Garage today and his crew were changing the fuel cell in his Mclaren F1. It is fiberglass and requires replacement every 5 years, regardless of milage
another web site says the cost is $110,000 and that average yearly mainenance runs $50,000

The F1 road car?
That is crazy. Just put an aluminum or polymer one in. The weight difference can't be that much and you will never know the difference. But if you have Jay Leno money I guess it doesn't matter.
You saying how much it cost made me think of those V10 BMW M5's that came with 500+ hp. You can buy them used for very little money, relatively speaking, but maintenance cost will drain your wallet. Which is why they sell for such a low price.
Is this the episode? Start at 15:10
