IS IT JUST ME OR ARE SUPERCARS JUST GETTING SILLY? You can’t actually drive them

IS IT JUST ME OR ARE SUPERCARS JUST GETTING SILLY?

You can’t actually drive them now without computer assistance, and certainly in other than a straight line. I mean, bespoke luxury interiors I appreciate. Agility I appreciate. Sure, the Diablo was just an amazing visual invention. But, really, it’s like some of these cars are the equivalent of Hubble Miniatures that my grandmother collected – silly expensive amusements for your shelf.

The new Jaguar two seater is probably perfect. Aston martin’s are mechanically weak but drivable works of art. The Porsche Cayman if it wasn’t nerf’d to protect the 911, is perfect. The smaller 355 and earlier Ferrari’s were’t good quality but they are visceral and drivable. And sure, except for terrible visibility I guess the Gallardo makes sense for flash. I can even sort of appreciate the 360’s. And the performance Bentley’s. But… I just don’t get the whole really-big-pretend-race-car thing. Sports cars I understand. GT’s I Understand. Luxury I understand. Performance cars I understand. But really ugly, loud BLING, I just don’t get. Must be a class thing… Just seems like incredibly bad taste to me.

Sigh.
