Yeah... It just crashed on me a few minutes ago. I think we broke it.

I’d build it into a box and forget it ever existed. There’s several that I see daily, and although I admire the car from an engineering perspective (and the interior on one I see street parked daily is gorgeous) I find it hideously proportioned. I rank it down there with pt cruisers in terms of designs I loathe. But, even with that said, I’d daily the shit out of it if someone gifted one to me

I saw an AMG cls63 s today on my way home in white/dark tan interior. That was a genuinely elegant car. I do love summers in Maine. All the wealthy summer residents have their toys out on the road. I especially like the guy that dailies a nice white R8.

I was going to say... “As a 911 or a Cayman.”

Well I wouldn't. I'd give Porsche money and some asshole in Germany would.

Meh. I know a realtor parking lot here in Houston that has both of those cars parked next to each other on any given sunny day (the R8 stays out of the rain). Yes, I know both the owners. I'll be driving the R8 as soon as it STOPS RAINING EVERY GAWDAMNED DAY.

As your Treasurer, I approve of this expenditure.

It’s a Porsche; you build it with every single option available. Otherwise, you’ll end up owning a wannabe bullshit Porsche that will go to an upper middle class peasant in a few years, which damages the brand.

Please Porsche properly.

They’re a little rarer up here in my neck of the woods. So when I see an SRT10 Viper tailed by a GT-R followed by an Alfa GT V6, well, I get excited. How much does it take to get you beyond “meh.”?

My other local favorite is the guy that dailies a Maserati quattroporte. I see him twice a day every day. Although there is a guy with an amg sls up the road from me that always gooses the throttle if I’m out in my yard- he knows I love that amazing engine burble. Hasn’t let me drive it yet though...

Edit: I can has grammars?

I live in an area that has many rich, wealthy, and Ultra High Net Worth (three different categories) people. I strive to be in one of those categories some day, but, until then, I tire of seeing the “lazy luxury car”, which is usually anything from a Bentley Flying Spur to a 911.

To get me past “meh”, the car must be special and unique. A Lamborghini or Ferrari certainly gets me there. In terms of sedans, a Ghost or even a CTS-V can get me a bit randy. Basically, a car that I can’t stand on the mega-mansions street and see ten per day.

That sounds incredibly pompous, but it’s more a reflection of how seeing luxury cars that anyone with enough money can just walk up to a dealership and buy with cash can make someone immune to the vehicles’ intended effects.

I understand what you’re saying. Of course I like seeing the exotics, but there are two cars I’ve seen recently that exemplify those that most clearly stick in my mind: one was my first ever in-person R32 skyline I saw last weekend, and the other was a battleship gray, fully restored 2CV I saw earlier in the spring. Those are the ones that stand out because I know the owners are enthusiasts, and are probably cool people to strike up conversations with. I don’t really give a hoot about chatting up the hedge fund manager driving the 458.

But if I did I’d have it like this.
