    why do so many of you talk so much trash about exotic cars? ppl buy them for more than just speed! you think anyone cares or looks twice when you drive by in your sti,evo,vw,z06,ect bye? no, now you see that 282,000 Murcielago go driving by and all of us are like damn!!! i wanna race that bad ass car! anyway do you think the guy driving that cares that he lost to a 50k american car in his 282,000 Lamborghini? no because as he's driving home to his multi million dollar home he knows hes still in a lamborghini and it dosn't matter if he lost to a school bus! because well its a lamborghini.

    why does price matter? you have a 50k+ car do you care when a honda or nissan beat you? i mean thats 40k diff right there? what you pay for something has nothing to do w/ how fast it should be.

    Unfortunately, most people will not follow this line of thought. It's a losing battle, really. Save your breath...

    Reminds me of that parable about the sour grapes...
    you know the fox can't obtain the grapes so he assumes they're sour...

    Kinda like people with less expensive cars forget that quality craftsmanship isn't free.

    Well, it depends on what your buying a car for....noone buys an EVO to take long trips with the kids in. People who buy Porsches, ferraris, lambos and other exotic buy them for status(rather are willing to admitt it or not). Are you telling me that a Cayenne is any more refined than a tourag (or however you spell the VW suv's name). I laugh at everyone that say they bought an M3 for performance....money wasted! They look good, but are overrated when it comes to straight line performance vs. $$$$.

    I think the real sports car enthusiasts are the people who buy corvettes and cobras(and cars in that price range...add supras, 300zx's,blah,blah).

    Now, If a Honda whoops your porsche turbo, should you feel bad? If you claim you like Porsches because they are fast, you should. But if you're just another yuppie with money, you wouldn't care. I know I declined buying a ferrari 348 because a stock LS-1 vette would whoop on it soo bad, I know I would have been pissed. But that's just me.....I don't care about big $$$ rides (rather I can afford it or not)....just give me a fast shit box and I'm happy

    To each his own...BTW..I'm a porsche fanatic...I despise BM trouble U's!



    Disclaimer: The veiws expressed are my own....If you don't like/agree with them...too bad!!!! they won't change anytime soon
