    14 years ago my wife hired me an Aston Martin DB9 for a weekend as it was my favourite car. Absolutely loved it. That said it wasn’t a car I’d like for every day use. It was a hard ride and the heat from the engine came into the cockpit. My legs felt like they were on fire.

    Supercars are usually great to play in but for day to day absolutely crap. I couldn’t take it to the shop as I’d worry about it getting marked. People get jealous and go out of their way to ding nice cars.

    I think the whole thing is having the level of wealth where those vehicles are of no value or concerning cost.

    The merits of the car have absolutely nothing to do with it.

    That’s a Lamborghini Huracán. Have you ever had the chance to drive one? It’s absolutely incredible, and if you’re really into driving I could totally understand spending your life trying to get it, or a similar car.

    Expensive watches would probably make more sense in this meme.

      They’re fantastic yes. I’m not gonna jump for some capitalist swine in hopes that i can buy one some day.

      I bought a Honda S2000 instead.

      My 20 year old Honda element can actually make it to the trailhead at the top of a shitty mountain road

      A sports car doesn’t do anything I’d find worthwhile, but go off king

      Why would I want a Lamborghini? Evwn if I could afford it why would I waste the money on it. Id much rather buy a shitty car like a Yugo or a Pinto and modify it into an abomination against sanity. Why would I? Because it’d be fun. Or id just buy a tank.

      Also that’s not the point, people are criticizing Tate for being a vapid dipshit who bought one because of the pricetag not because he enjoys it. If ya enjoy taking a lambo onto a track fucken A good for you. But id much rather take a Frankensteins monster of a car offroading and probably snap the suspension… again.

            If you see two (or more) emoji in comments like that, it means your client/browser/phone/computer doesn’t support combined emoji (or at least not that particular combination)

            The one in the comment you replied to seems to be row 233, man shrugging.

              Thanks. Its also working now?

              This is what I get for prefering older tech. Fun fact it was showing woman shugging with the symbol for man next to it and I just kinda assumed it was a euphemism.
