Ah, I'm glad you could join me to discuss a matter of the utmost urgency. I have been posting on Jalopnik and Oppo for around 3 months now and while I've have ended up in a few shitstorms, I have massively enjoyed my time here discussing matters such as Hydrogen cars, Harrier Jump Jets and Hillbillies.
But...
There is a weird and exciting trend I have noticed in my limited time here, as the headline states: Do Davids like V10s.
It first started at the beginning, where another David posted an E60 appreciation thread, considering the E60 is my favourite M5, I registered my support and broke into a long discussion about the lack of V10s in modern motoring.
This wasn't the end though...
In May there was a thread on exhaust notes and the author registered his displeasure towards V10s, naturally I sprung to their defense but I wasn't alone I was joined by not one but two Davids.
Things were getting weird...
Finally in late early June I decided to get pro active, where during another discussion about niche, I found support from another David where I popped the question (no not that one) and you guessed it, he liked V10s, then today in the post about "Super sports cars", I got support from another David who inquired about the Ariel Atom and I decided to further test my hypothesis and would you know yet another V10 lover.
So today I want to confirm or bust my hypothesis, so Davids or Daves of Jalopnik and Oppo, I have one Question:
Do you like V10s.

I would take an E60 M5 or and M6 with the V10 over any other BMW every single day. I just saw an M6 when I was leaving the restaurant after lunch. Such a hot car.

Maybe V10s are more loved than I was led to believe.

I think it is just that they are not as common.

A lot of people here don't like the noise they make and think they are outdated but I will never give up on the V10 because it is awesome.

Considering the responses I'm getting I should have put a disclaimer or something saying that non Davids can like V10s but you know what I love this V10 lovin so I salute you sir for choosing wisely.

You're being a bit of a drama queen. They all deserved it.

The better question is this: what David (or man by any other name), in his right mind, could possibly dislike a V10?
I own this:
And also the V8 version of the BMW V10 you love so much.
And I think the V10 era of F1 was the sweetest-sounding.
Also this:
And last, but not least THIS:
One of the best-sounding cars of all time...

One of the all-time greats... I got it for Christmas back them (from my in-laws - ha!). Stayed up until 5 am the following morning building it.

Same here. My stickers have long since cracked though. I'm looking at getting a re-sticker kit for it soon.

They're not "official" of course, but look to be of decent quality. Definitely worth a shot at $17 seeing how a brand new in box set is starting at $1400.
