I did meet some. But to be honest: A Cayman S is around 100k CHF. That is not exactly cheap, but not supercar-expensive either. As most people who buy a new car take a lease, you can if you really want afford one on the 120.000 CHF salary... just as the Turkish cleaning lady can afford a 700 CHF LV bag if she earns the minimum salary of 3400 a month if she really wants...

But truth to be told: Most young men I met driving sports cars in their 20s - and I exclude run down 5th hand M3s from my definition of "sports car" here - did so because they inherited some cash or are simply from a wealthy family. I do not know why one needs to be ashamed of that either...

Very true, although I find one a bit more practical than the other. But I think that versus topic has been beating to death in a few other threads.

You just hangout in the wrong crowds.

Just as I rarely meet beautiful, successful, smart and funny women.

This is because when you did hang out with the rich guys crowds... you didn't look for me!

......and single I guess I have to add

What's wrong with them? They make excellent track/race cars

My son does the same a lot cheaper!

How many times do I have to say this? Come to Basel, that's where all the best women are All of my friends meet the above requirements and some are single too

Just a small correction, there definitely is grammatical gender to quite a few English nouns, not just ships or cars, also Moon (fem), Sun (masc), Earth (fem), usually not in a planet sense, but personified (lit). Other rule is the gender revealing suffix -ess, actress, waitress, etc.

More here . Ok, pedant hat off.

That car is nice. People posting car pics should realize it is identifying them, to some extent.

Its identified that kevlegs is in the middle of a mid-life crisis

So my LV-Dodge says something about my class?

It identified that I was willing to put up a pic against my better judgement but it was Nil afterall

Pontiac Solstice (The US branding for the Opel GT)

Pontiac Solstice

Oops beaten to it. Also, it's now discontinued apparently.

Bitterness much
funnily enough, whenever Bev drives the car she gets the kind of attention that it is alleged the male owners of such cars want, but in her case it is completely unwanted. She's also not supposed to drive it to work, in case the clients get upset that she has a nicer car than them WTF!
At least you admit that it's jealousy

I had a 'Hot-wheels' toy model of one of those, pretty cool, envy of the school yard.

I didn't expect to write "Opel GT"... but this reminds me: Once upon a time did car manufacturers not build a model for every niche, sports cars were for people who fit in them and Porsche would not even dream of building SUVs for fat wealthy, comfort oriented people...

Much as the purists among us may hate it, if Porsche hadn't built the Cayenne it would now struggle to produce exciting new models like the 918 in the same way that the Boxster helped save the company in the 90s and help fund development of the Carreras GT. Likewise making a hybrid Cayenne helps keep emissions across the firm down, allowing them to make more interesting cars.

At the end of the day they are a company that has a duty to its shareholders to maximise profits. They have found some very profitable new markets over the last 15 years, which more than make up for a few lost sales from "enthusiasts" who disagree with the brand direction.
