So what they don't? Some people drive in a lot of traffic, some people race & auto is faster than you shifting, pal, & some don't give a F what people think. |

we are always envious (and unconsciously resentful) of those wealthier or with more expensive "toys".
by and large M3 owners or leasees are not paupers. Whether this is saying alot (or not), >90% of F8X owners are well above the poverty line. for me, after house, kids/child care, retirement, kiddie 529s, there is a limited pool for car/track/motorsports stuff. i still had to think pretty long and hard (double check my math) to procure a F80 M3. it seems like that there people out there with the kind of wealth where they can just drop a couple hundred thou for a car without batting an eye. or at least when we goto a local C&C, see some hyper/super cars and then see their owners, that is the (knee jerk) assumption that we make. i will bet those types are likely in the minority. what if in 10yrs (i will be 40-something) i accumulate enough savings to acquire a GT3 RS? the tables are now turned; i pull into a C&C and some enthusiast in a M3 (or something less expensive) sees me getting out. they just see a "young"-ish dude climbing out of a porsche. i will bet they will make the same assumption that many of us do so now. but little do they know that it took me years of scrimping. years of working. to get that GT3 RS. AND i track the snot out of it. we make many assumptions, right or wrong. but it's usually short of reality. just saying

I only buy fast cars to compensate for other inadequacies. As far as the status symbol, I had a very fast Hyundai Genesis Coupe. I could care less whats on the hood; what I care about is whats under the hood.

Sometimes stating the obvious may be necessary with a larger general audience in mind.

I used to be intrigued by high HP cars, but after 20+ years of being beaten to death with stop/go traffic and speed limits that are so low, I couldn't care less. It's all pointless, just numbers on a sheet to brag about to people. I love my Z4M, but even 330hp is more than anyone would ever need. I rarely even take the car past 4k rpms anymore.

What's wrong with not liking the fact that more posers can now drive supercars?
