Story time: Since I've been commuting by car again, I've been noticing this orange lamborghini huracan on its way to wherever at the same time of the morning, out in the suburbs where my office is. It hurts to see. I've always loved lamborghinis. To me they've always been truly exotic. The playthings of wealthy playboys, entertainers and drug lords. Not something you drive to work Monday to Friday 9 to 5 out in the bleak suburban wastelands. I mean, kudos to this guy daily driving it to his lucrative business selling groffel grommets or making bus station advertising signs or whatever passes for excitement out here. It just cheapens the whole experience of seeing one. Seeing an orange lamborghini should brighten your day, not be cause to reflect on the bleakness of existence. It's like seeing a prize winning thoroughbred being used to pull a dung cart.

Disagree, this guy could just leave it in his garage but instead they are using it.

Yeah, warehouse sized garages full of exotic treasures that never get driven are way more depressing than a Lambo in the suburbs Around here I'm sure every supercar is owned by some shithead tech CEO or shithead college kid with rich parents but I still enjoy seeing/hearing them occasionally

Eyud posted:Yeah, warehouse sized garages full of exotic treasures that never get driven are way more depressing than a Lambo in the suburbs Thats kind of my point though. A Lambo should be owned by a shithead CEO, rich college kid, trust fund euro trash, or drug dealer. Not someone who has to toil at a regular job for a living like the rest of us schlubs. I'm not saying it should be kept in a garage, but it should be parked outside a snobby cafe that serves champagne at 10am on a weekday. Or a skeezy nightclub on a Friday night. Or a boutique clothing shop in the expensive part of town. Obviously the guy is welcome to use his car however he sees fit, but a car like that should imply that you don't have to walk through the mud, not that you can afford to wear your good shoes while walking through the mud. I've never seen a Murcielago or Diablo commuting. I guess what I'm saying is witnessing this, it speaks to me about the commodification of the brand, which makes me sad.

I drove past a big fat guy in a tiny duplex on one of the shittier streets here using a hose to wash his McLaren (whatever the cheapest one is) and I thought the same as you. It's possible he fit (  ) the drug dealer criteria though.

There's a guy who dailys an orange Gallardo and a neon green one for the last few years there. Honestly, I got more props for the people who continuously drive their over priced exotics and seem to just get the enjoyment out of it as and use it as a daily opposed to people who use it as a status symbol and keep it locked up in a private garage. At least this guy plays with his toy.

If exotics are getting "commodified" it's not a problem with the company selling them, it means there's too many rich people oozing about and maybe we should tax them the tiniest bit so these unicorn cars stay off the filthy public streets.

Midjack posted:Pure uncut lmao at someone unironically gatekeeping for Lamborghini. A Lambo is a villain's car, or at very least a rogue's. Or it was, anyway. Now, poo poo, it feels like it might as well be a Corvette. I guess the Huracan is just the Gallardo replacement and meant to occupy that tier, but for some reason the Gallardo didn't feel quite so common. Maybe because I was used to seeing them around central London, and associated that with ill-gotten gains, rather than Outer Mississauga, and thus now associating them with the soul-crushing monotony of suburban life.

Ha, back in the Before Times I used to commute through this area daily and I think I've seen this dude lol Related, my wife and I were driving on I-5 near Everett yesterday and saw a car that made both of us say "what the gently caress?"   (not my photos) "Was that a Ferrari... station wagon?" (to be fair I don't know supercars well enough to know if it was exactly this, but it was black, and looked exactly like this, and I can't imagine many other cars look like that)

A while back was at Discount Tire. Diablo in the lot. Asked the guys inside about it and they said it was the owner's and he daily drives it. Later in the day spot a Gallardo. The kicker...it was snowing all day. That must have been fun.

If someone is gonna drop over $100k on a car, I'd rather it be a Lambo than some boring high end BMW or Mercedes. At least a Lambo is cool to look at in traffic.

Here's a guy towing goats with his murc. He is immediately intriguing. A wealthy, eccentric farmer? Tax sheltering charity petting zoo? Taken as collateral? This draws attention, like a good lamborghini should. A ute towing a goat trailer, nobody even blinks.
