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.

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

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

In France all you need is cheese, wine and a haughty woman.

I don't drink alcohol either and I am the haughty woman

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Bravo! I don’t drink alcohol either and I am not a haughty woman!

Power to you.

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

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.
