Do you sit around worshipping million dollar cars that you'll likely never be able to afford, or affordable driver cars that you can realistically own one day?
Just asking because there appear to be a few on the flood who simply worship cars they'll never ever be able to afford.
I obviously tend to like cars that have a more realistic price tag, and I am not saying million dollar cars are bad or anything of the sort. I just can't see myself sitting around jerking it to Zondas knowing that I'll likely never be able to afford one.

I worship pre 2000 Hondas and Toyotas.

Edited by Porsche 914: 3/2/2014 2:48:37 AMI like super cars but the only one I really want is a 911. Besides that there are one I would own if I was rich as hell but I know it's highly unlikely for me to ever get them. I'm more interested in buying all my favourite Toyotas. It's actually possible for me to obtain some of them. I'll always love Toyota and I never think I'll stop. O feel similar towards porsche. I love my slow little 914 and I will never sell it. In 5 years I'm importing a Celica GT-4 ASAP.

I believe it's more of an age related way of associating with car ownership/wish list. I went through the whole Ferrari/Lamborghini/BMW M1, Posrche 911/935 fanaticism in my teens and 20's, but after life takes you where you are going, those things fade. My love of muscle cars/pony cars never waned, and I was eventually able to get back into one 10 years ago. I can appreciate what the super cars are, can do and all that, but I live in my reality that they will never be anything that I can afford or possess. So it's a common thing I think for the younger gen guys to droll over the most exotic of the exotic, but when things all come down to it, you do what you can do, and you can see that the hero worship and lust of the holy grail cars is pointless, unless you are the son of a multi millionaire, and do not know the meaning of 'affordability'.
