for those that have nice cars.

Driving a 385hp 6-speed is never boring - even in traffic.

Cause thats burnout time. It's a suitable replacement for Miller Time.

I guess that what the starter of the topic meant is that F50 for example is always more interesting, passionate and just the car to lust after to those who cannot afford one. I'd die to get a top-range ferrari, but also I know if i really had one, I would probably not dream of it every night in my sleep after a month or few.

I.e. I like F50 or Enzo more than bin Sulayem ...

just a thought.

..or to put it another way - i dont have a car at the moment. I dream of having one. Even if it was 10 years old BMW. Now, after I get it, there is not much point to dream about it.. Same logic goes to growing needs (something about Maslow's hierarchy of needs or something) after you have million, you want another. if you have 100 M you want to have 101 M etc etc etc, its just the law of the nature.. That ensures economic growth, better well-being etc.

Don't get bored of driving my esprit, and yes, it still feels exciting everytime i drive it.

Only time i ever wanted something else was when i was using it as a daily driver in the winter, getting stuck in traffic etc on my 100mile commute to work. I bought a golf gti soon afterwards, keeping the esprit for weekends only. I've now moved closer to work so the esprit is my daily driver again and i'm loving it. Total of 4 years and 60,000 miles in esprits so far.

It has never felt slow when i'm driving in normal traffic or clear roads. Only time I ever felt like it could do with more power is when i'm running with my friend in his 550 Maranello.

If anyone's interested, i was at an esprit meet this weekend. Didn't take any pics myself but here's a few my friends took.
