That's where I'm going to have to disagree with you. The look, and speed of a car are just as much a part of the driving experience as the feel of the car.
Are you saying that hot rod owners that restore old cars aren't enthusiasts if they don't enter into contests?
Ok GM
I'm not saying they aren't, I'm saying you just shouldn't purely choose a car on those basis. At the end of the day it's just what makes you smile.
I also kinda hate those competitions. It's like a big dick contest. It really doesn't matter who won if the guy with the 10" shlong goes home alone and the guy with the 2" pecker gets a supermodel. Your car should make you happy way before it makes anyone else happy. Getting your joy from others approval makes you a failure as a person.
I'd take the "No Fucks Given RX7" over a Maybach any day of the week.
