Franco Caution posted:Does anyone else like, not really give 2 shits about ultra expensive rich people vanity cars? Yeah that's me too. They are basically rich jewellery and.... just dont care. Which is why I hear about a new Ingetra I genuinely get hopes up of an actual relavent and interesting car (and who knows a new Integra Type R and maybe a genuine successor to the best FWD sports car?) and not some 700hp hybrid exotica that only will get driven to the sailing club for the instagram influencers next photoshoot.

After getting a motorcycle, any desire for manual sports cars kinda fizzled out for me. Nothing more connected than being on two wheels. So now I really just want a reasonable EV hatch/wagon, motorcycle du jour for whatever I'm into (off road, touring, track etc), a cargo ebike, and to live in a place with decent bicycle infrastructure. Also sufficient number of mountain bikes to cover local terrain. Edit: but if we are playing a game, a Cayman 4.0 in Miami Blue and as much track time as I can buy with the left over funds Russian Bear fucked around with this message at 04:45 on Aug 15, 2021 |

I'm not a good enough driver to be able to appreciate the capabilities of a $60k Corvette even on a racetrack. I'm gonna work on that before spending time thinking about cars with even more capability.

The combination of being a parent and working from home now has done a lot to kill my enthusiasm for cars. I have two awesome cars and I have nowhere to go and very little time to do anything with them. Hell I did a track day last November and still haven’t washed it since. Ugh. But yeah, gently caress expensive hypercars. Eat the rich. My somewhat obtainable dream car was the 991.2 GT3 manual but those shot up in value with the pandemic. So now my answer is a 4.0 Spyder. And if Lotuses keep going up in value it might not be that much of a stretch.

A half decent tow car and trailer and breathe a sigh of relief I can throw the rest of a hypothetical 125K onto the car projects. Even just 10K on one of them would suddenly mean I can buy upgrade parts and tools and maybe make for a better build

Even better would be an upscale Type R coupe. When I first heard the news I expected the worst and instantly thought of what Mitsu did to the Eclipse but the spy shots being passed around have alleviated those fears.

I post in this thread mainly to highlight the fact that car industry design sucks rear end these days. The lamborghini looking like all the rest produced in the last decade highlighting my point nicely. I remember whem lambos were an event to see, they were always something stupid and over the top looking but as time goes on they all kinda look the same so of course they're not exciting anymore. That's just visually, ignoring the supposed $3.5 million price that Countach supposedly has which would buy you a decent chunk of actual cool classic Lamborghinis including a couple you can use as track beaters :v This is a cool thread but for those not wanting to click I'll post his findings https://twitter.com/midnightdorifto/status/1426055792231292929?t=WpGb2hjYM_0PUuiS9u0_eg&s=19 quote:okay so I don’t find the Countach photos to make for a particularly offensive design but then I saw the rumored price tag and it required some math and here are my preliminary findings, pending peer review: I know it must be fun to have infinity money to throw at poo poo but the design is lame, the poo poo is far too expensive and you could buy so many actually cool, beautiful cars for the cash.

But as I think someone already said, if you’re one of the guys who got the call about this car, you probably already have a decent chunk of those other cars too.
