So let me summarize this..anyone who doesn't track, drive on canyon roads or redline on a regular basis, means they bought their M3 as a penis extender and should have been content with a 328i.

Do you hear yourself? That is some logic you subscribe to

Then those people when they receive their car hardly ever drive it at all, let alone come near that million mph top speed, but instead park it in the garage and leave it unsed for years, all so that they can take a few pics posing with the car when they take delivery of it, just so they can show those pics to their rich friends and brag about how they have a car that *can* do so and so (just like any magazine racer out there). Yes, I believe you have to be really insecure if you go through all that trouble just to get a thumbs up from your rich friend.
So based on your logic
  • All cars should be electronically limited to higway speed limits and have max of 100 HP
  • All collector car owners are insecure because they buy a car and barely drive it
I am better and my penis is bigger because I track my car and red line it all the time..anyone else who doesn't drive the car EXACTLY the same way is insecure

Who is really being insecure here?

Agree. A car is nothing more than an object. I love my cars, but nobody has a monopoly on how cars should be enjoyed. An insecure individual is someone who goes by his/her own defined "must be" behavior and freaks out when people don't worship him/her for it.

Sooooooo, what you are saying is that anyone who buys anything and is unable or unwilling to use it to its most extreme potential is compensating for sexual inadequacies. Is this reeeaaaallly what you are trying to tell us or are you just saying this to compensate for your own adequacies?

So, because my wife can not cook as well Daniel Humm or Aimee Olexy her gourmet kitchen is a means to "extend" her vagina.

Because I am not as fast and quick, nor have the endurance of top pro cyclists such Bradley Wiggins my DeRosa bicycles are simply a means to enlarge my penis.

You are WRONG. Sometimes it is just a desire to own high-quality goods. Sometimes it is just pride of ownership. Just because someone could get by with a Timex, but chooses Patek Philippe does not mean his penis is inadequate.

This type of faulty logic is a result of relying on Psychology Today and PSY 101 as the entirety of behavioral understanding.

The difference is that we need food to eat. Watches can tell time. Bicycles are good exercise. Since day 1, the main and only selling point for the veyron is it's top speed. In fact, that is the sole purpose for its existence and the only reason why it was built in the first place. So why own a veyron if you won't take it on a top speed run, at least just once in your life?

Yeah I know all about pride of ownership, yadda yadda. but what's the logic in owning something nice if you don't use it? It's just like being married to Scarlet Johanssen but then sleeping on the couch instead.

You do not think that someone who has the means to buy a Veyron, also has the means to rent an airport strip to drive it to the limit?

Regardless your point is moot. You do not need to max cars to their limit to enjoy them. Everyone derives their enjoyment in different ways.

And the fact that you are telling us that because someone does not use their car in a certain way means they should not be produced, and people should not bother to own them is ridiculous.

If you bought the m3 just to take it to the track you picked the wrong car. There's better cars just for tracking. Some more expensive and some cheaper than the m3. Now if you bought the m3 as a jack of all trades car then that makes sense. Don't hate people that have more money than you. I'm sure that most of them earned their money. Of course theres the oil princes in the middle east that inherit their wealth, but thats life. I have track membership at spring mountain motorsports ranch and I occasionally take my GTS there. It's more fun and less stress to take a cheaper and dedicated track car like my 944 turbo. There's a lot of guys out there with used miatas, s2k, evos, e36 and e46 m3s that go often and pound the crap out of their cars.

Oh I definitely understand the allure of acceleration. I said i don't understand the allure of the veyron. big difference. And if acceleration's your thing, get a 2013 gtr. it's just as fast in a straight line up until felony speeds anyway. and in the corners it will destroy the veyron. and if you tune that gtr, it'll keep up even at higher speeds. the only area where the veyron shines is at super high speeds that you will never be able to reach on any road or track in the north american continent anyway.

That's my point. They may be able to shut down an entire airport (though i doubt an airport runway is long enough to do a top speed run) to take their veyron there and play, but they don't. You never hear of any veyron owners doing a top speed run. If they did, it'd be all over the news, jalopink, youtube, etc. The one special thing about the veyron is it's top speed, yet its owners either never drive them or just drive them to the local golf course to play with their friends.

I also need the car to be a daily driver, including the ability to drive it on the snowy roads here in canada. S2000 or vette z06 or miatas will not really work too well in the winter. Evos and such are awd, which i don't like. And older cars like 944 and e36 are just a maintenance and reliability headache for a daily driver. If I had more than 1 parking spot, i'd probably get a dedicated track car and a more fuel efficient daily driver. but i don't, so the m3 is a good compromise all around.

And i don't hate anyone more rich than me. I just question their desire to buy cars and leave them for years collecting dust in their multi-hectare garages.

Just looked up 0-60 and quarter mile times. Current Veyron 2.4 seconds to 60, and quarter miles from 9.6 to 10.1.

GTR: 0-60 in 2.7 to 2.9, and quarter miles from 10.9 to 11.1.

Next time, try to be less ignorant.

Listen, it's just fine if you hate the Veyron, but putting some hate on the people who drive them is just plain strange. Makes me worry we'll see your name in a headline at some point.

So much for my "ignorance"

And why exactly would you get the impression I "hate" anything or anyone? I merely stated that I think the veyron is a pointless car, and its owners buy it more for show than for go. That doesn't mean i'm some psycho serial killer. So don't worry, i won't come for you. You can stop checking under your bed and go sleep now.

Great thread, but the one thing missing is actual logic



Not to be confused with opinion...
