Rosso Scuderia with the red race seats and white stripe.. Fuuuuuuuu

My all time favorite CS combo. That car is perfect bone stock, almost hurts to look at it knowing its not mine.

Lol at this thread. If I had a proper exotic like a Lambo or McLaren, I wouldn't even think about Porsche or BMW.

Was in Monaco last Saturday and Sunday. I agree with you... M car or P car for me. I have to say that this country is an another World... lol.

Normal people only have the fantasy of what it would be like to be rich. But sooner-or-later we must get back to our real world concerns like kids, what's for dinner, paying the mortgage or rent, paying college bills etc.

So as much as we like to think we know, we really don't know and won't have a clue to know why Kobe Bryant owns 10 Lambos, 3 Rolls, a few other high-end cars along with his 20 million home and fine ass wife.

The only common place for all of GOD's children is death. I can live that!

Very true indeed.

This got me thinking... these are all AWESOME cars in their own right and I would love to have the privilege to ride passenger in one, let alone drive one. This is especially true for a F car or an A-M.

But, I just don't LOVE any of these marks as much as i love M cars (real M cars, 1M included) or P-cars. Whenever i see E9x/E46 M3's, i stare until no end. Whenever i see any type of 911 (993, 991, 997, etc), i could stare all day at those beauties.

I'm probably one of the few people that would take a Porsche GT3 over any sort of F car, 9 times out of 10. Don't know if anyone would agree with me, but i just have a sweet spot for M cars and 911s.

P.S., I'm on vacation and was just in London a week prior, another car lovers Mecca. London in the high-end Kensington/Knightsbridge/Chelsea/Notting Hill neighborhoods has the largest amount of big money cars i have seen. Much greater than any US city that i have been to (Beverly Hills included).

Humble brag.

1. One of these is not like the other. Guess which one.

2. Some of these fantasy cars are actually a pain to actually own unless you are mega wealthy and could just toss the entire car without even blinking if it came to that. M cars and Porsches are high end cars that are still within the realm of accessibility to the merely rich and not just the mega-wealthy, and the accessibility makes them more desirable.

Did a gtr run over your damn cat or something? We get it. You hate the car. Grow the f up and stop being such an infant. Its not like you're driving a veyron. Care to tell us how exotic your 3 series looks in monaco?

[SilentAttack]

I'll take the lambo over my M3 any day.

I'd agree with that statement, others said something similar previously. I hope that if i ever became mega rich i would still be humble and feel the same way. Though i wouldn't mind adding a McLaren of some sort to the stable.

[M3 Pilot]

Anyone spotted Sea Force One and Blind Date recently ?

Those yachts massive.

Calm. down. Bro. It was a joke.



And I have been to that casino several times. If memory serves me correctly there's a nice hairpin turn from the GP track just outside. I always found the mega yachts more interesting. They're absolutely massive.

Edit: Just noticed the pic of above mentioned yachts.

I'm 100% with OP here. I still regularly drive my Uncle's 13' bentley continental GT but aside from the sound of the twin turbo, it cant even compare to my m3 in my eyes. Then again ive been dreaming of driving, let alone owning, an e92 m3.
