Dude, even my new Vette is over 15 years old. I'm not rich. Far from it.

I just can't drive a pedestrian car, it has to return enjoyment for me, at the seat of the pants level.

I'd be just as happy with a Mazda MX5 Miata.

...if it had the Ford 302 kit in it from Monster Miata.

And I am not arguing which is better, manual vs auto. I am saying it doesn't really matter. If a person wants auto, who gives a fuck...

The other part of the argument is image, some people want a new car, some people only want old cars, some people don't give a shit as long as it runs. It's all an image all of these people want to display to others or to themselves. Image is in everything we do, even the stupid emo kids in the mall that want to be social outcasts care about the image they portray. We all care no matter how much we fight it, otherwise we would still be naked/standard uniform and have the same exact car/transport.

Again, for me it is NOT image.

I'd be just as happy with the V8 Miata.

For me it's about power-to-weight ratios, control, response, and feel at the seat.

End of story. All else is both pretense, and bullshit.

That fucking Vette, btw, is the first fucking car I've ever even owned that had even fucking paint on it. I could give a flaming fuck about image.

That is an image you want to portray. Sorry, we all have an image of ourselves we want to portray. We aren't robots. We are humans. Well except for the Japanese. LOL

Preach it, BMW man....

I'm sure you bought it because it could get you from point a to point b with nothing in mind but fuel economy fun for the money blah blah blah.

You...are full of shit.

I said everyone, everyone includes me, asshat. I don't exclude myself from wanting to portray a certain image to myself or others. I proudly ride around with Starbucks on the back of my bike. I embrace my BMW image.
