When I see one driving around town with off-road tires worn down by 1000's of miles on paved roads, diamond plate metals polished to a blinding shine, and not a scratch or ding anywhere... that is when I shake my head and sigh.

Concurrage.

Ahhhh...but then that means that everyone who buys/owns a vehicle that is "purpose built" is required to use it for that purpose.....nevermind. Gosh,you people are so bland and boring.

So few really do.

Actually everyone does have taste. It's just that many were born with the "bad" variety.

I hate those rolling thug mobiles. doesnt matter what color ya are here, I usually see the dumbass thug/gangsta wannabe punks rollin round in them pieces of scrap.

I always laugh though when I see a pimped out car and some old dude drivin it.

Ummm, pretty much. Why would you buy a sports car unless it was to drive fast? And why buy an enduro unless you're going to jump piles of dirt? What does "purpose-built" mean to you? If it was built for a purpose, and you don't use it for that, you're kind of missing the point. Of course, if you want to waste your money and look stupid, well, that's up to you I guess.

We see guys here buy these high end sports cars (ferraris lambos etc) and they cant drive them.

Both of those vehicles are the ugliest I have seen in a LONG time ...

Also, WTF with the huge tires, I see that shit all the time .. I mean seriously, if you want a 4X4 with ground clearance buy a truck!

With a 6" lift, you can get at least 35"'s under there!

Around here, lifted trucks are very common. I saw one the other day with a bumper sticker that said "Lift em high, fat chicks can't climb!"

i think theres a dif - lambo, sportbike, etc, and a 4wheel drive truck. the lambo comes as a sports car, the sportbike is fast and handles sharp-the truck tows, hauls, and can go over some rough terrain.

now when you take that 4wheel drive truck, and lift it to the moon, and it never sees dirt/mud, or the guy that busts a fat ohlins/brembo, carbon fiber nut all over his bike and never takes a corner above 35mph, or the lambo guy that gets his shit up to track prepped spec....and then just cruises the coast with it, thats retarded.

purpose built and built for purpose are two different things
