Supercar or no supercar?

[bobafett]

550 may not be considered super-car, but it's super-fast. I can carry lumber (yes, I have pictures of the car @ th elumber mill where "Joe" told me I have the coolest truck ever), groceries (no problem unless you go to Costco), people (fit 3 people two days ago...one on the rear shelf...should've taken a picture), bikes (with the rack), etc.

Am I bored? No. Do I want more? Hell yes.

BTW, the 550 is decently small. You have no idea the spaces I've fit into (on the road...ahem...not that I drive above the speed limit or in a manner less than legal).

I reckon even someone who drives a supercar would still have fun in my Mini.

Supercars may be awesome to drive, but some cars are just plain fun.

Each car may have its own characteristics that entice a driver to have fun in it.

There aren't any FWD supercars for example, yet FWD's can be great fun to drive. Not as fast, but still fun.

Hmmm.. What should I choose? This 360 CS or this superpractical Vauxhall Zafira?
Yes, I think I'll get the Zafira, because that's so boring.. Then I can't be disappointet of any other car...

68-998: Minis (original esp.) are WAY fun.

One cool thign to do with FWD cars: find some fiberglass trays. Go to an empty parking lot, put the trays under the rear wheels and lock them in place (chock blocks), and then go driving about. Fishtailing with control...lots of silly fun

A supercar is not a daily driver. They would be awesome to own and drive but are not designed for everyday use. It is a bit like a purpose built drag car, fun to use but you dont go shopping in it. If I had the chance, owning one would not be a question but I would keep the daily driver also...

Not totally true. Jim Spiro drove his F50 in rain or shine everyday for two years, putting on 40k+ miles before he sold it (2.5 years).

Besides, Gordon Murray wanted the big Macca to be the best driver's car - and totally practical for everyday use.

Supercars like ferrari's lamborghini maserati are noting for me .
But what i love two is take a stock escort cossie or chevy camaro from the sixties and rebuild it two may spec(protouring style) or something else in that style with better performanche than a stock ferrari or lambo.

I think if you're really into your cars (as you ALL must be to post here on JW) then there its pretty unlikely you'll get bored with a supercar.

My preocupation is when i'm next going to drive the car, and how i can earn some more money to keep running it :roll:

Oh, and i still enjoy driving my GTi on non-lotus days btw. A fun car is a fun car, however fast it is - like the guy with the mini - its a blast to drive one of these. Anyone who likes cars will enjoy a mini - even if you have a bunch of supercars in the garage too

I think the solution is simple, get one or two supercars and buy a nomral car, lets say an audi a4 or an bmw 330i, so what to do with the cars???? well one of the supercars you use it on weekends, the other one on race tracks or gumballs and the audi or bimmer for everyday so theres the solutionnnn

IMO it all depends on how much u like cars, i cant get tired of driving, sometimes i just go out to drive and thats it... i loooove driving... if u buy a supercar then drive it all u can...
