    Just to be serious for a mo; why the fuck would I want a sports car anyway?

    Showy cars are for smoothbrained insecure chucklefucks. I don’t come from money, and I have very little, but I certainly have no psychological need to attempt to appear like I do. Even if I got a gazillion bucks tomorrow there’s no way in hell I’m going to start purchasing shiny shit to show off with.

      I take it you’ve never driven a finely tuned automobile. It’s quite the fun experience.

        I actually have but I felt embarrassed as hell each time.

        I’m not against fine tuning and efficiency. I am against A: “LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!!!” And B: any sort of aggressive driving on public roads.

        If there were such a thing a really ‘nice’ car that was ‘luxurious’ inside etc., but looked like absolutely nothing extraordinary outside, then I might buy one (in the alternative universe where I had lots of money to blow on new cars).

          It’s pretty funny because personally I don’t care at all about comfort and very little about looks. I just want something that’s fun to drive. If I had the money, Id get maybe a Subaru BRZ, it’s not too powerful but lightweight. But I live in France so I dont need a car either way

          Well I for one hope that you manage to get lots of money (or enough to be completely comfortable) in this universe.

            That’s very kind of you. I’m not starving and have a secure roof so I’m doing better than many others around the world. I am certainly not complaining in regards to that.

            When I have day dreams of winning millions of dollars my first thoughts are typically “how could I help others”.

            I would have to actually play the lottery though, which I’m not inclined to do.

      so there’s lot of people - kids who ate lead paint in their childhoods, victims of being dropped on their heads, FAS babies etc., who suffer from cognitive deficits but LOVE the vroom vroom. They love it so much they do illegal shit to their vehicles just so more vroom vroom smoke comes out. They love it more than they love having a livable ecosystem, more than their own children’s futures. And if you try to get the crayons out and explain it to them, it just makes them angry.

      that’s my take on the situation.

      You put a new of these bad boys in your yard and no one will mistake you for being wealthy.

      Sports cars are fast and handle well. I don’t care for the look of them but they do create a ride like feeling.

      Your inferiority complex has blocked you from understanding how stuff can be exciting. Vroom vroom go fast and sound awesome.
