Why do people buy sports cars?

What's the point of anything?

I just don't know.

I have the same problem. I think it would be nice to buy a cheap Corvette or something and have fun with it but then I reality check myself. Like, what am I going to do with it, hoon it around like a fag on public roads and rack up a bunch of tickets? Or just sit in traffic with a car that is objectively a shit DD car.

Pretty much. Or don't be a pleb and don't get caught doing so.

With an attitude like that it's probably wiser for you get a nice safe Camry.

Because of these reasons, I own a SL63...

1) Status (Look at me! I'm rich!... yeah its pretty pathetic but once in a while, that kind of attention is nice)
2) It actually is a comfy ass ride
3) Glorious twin turbo V8
4) Convertible - allows me to cruise around day or night and feel amazing
5) It reminds me that hard work and dedication really pays off in one way or another

idk, anon, some people enjoy sports cars some don't. I happen to be one of the many who does. Maybe you like sedans, but I find them to have "literally no point in owning one" since SUVs exist.

tldr; Its fun, literally.

>>15966022
SL63 is not a sports car,it's a comfy commuter.
. Good power for overtaking and merging on the highway, and looking good while doing it, yet still a A to B car at the end of the day

>>15966022
I can see the point of a nice, powerful luxury sedan. You get to broadcast your status, ride in comfort, and have power to get you up to speed rapidly.

I can see the point of economy cars, luxury sedans, and work trucks, but everything else seems illogical.

One thought I've had is that no matter what car you're driving, it's more about how stupid or big your balls are when it comes to speeding. I mean if you're going to street race it's less about how powerful your car is and more like how little you give a fuck about yours or anyone else's safety.

For me it's almost like a fashion statement. Like, this is a car for me and it drives me fast and I ain't driving no kids in it. Everything that's not the driver is a dead weight.
Also, men like their complicated toys. 10 years ago people were building computers (I mean they're still do, but the hardware is cucked by various things there's no point talking about here so the golden age is gone), it's the same thing. Again, if it's your toy, why would it need 4 doors? Wouldn't your rather have more rigid frame?

Literally hundreds of miles of unpatrolled mountain roads where I live.

Alternatively, lots of people buy nice looking homes and furniture, why not just have a concrete square building with nothing but bare essentials? It's just human nature to like cool shit.

Also I believe everyone should track their sports car, it's fun as fuck. And it's getting more popular every year as shown by nearly every manufacturer coming out with track day specific models.

This thread is funny. It's full of people trying to justify being too poor to buy a challenger lol

>>15966053
Oh, and minivans. I get why people buy those.

SUV's? Ha, like anyone off-roads those except for auto journalists doing a review.

>>15966058
I doubt there's anyone here that can't afford a used C5 Corvette.

>>15966005
all of this, unless you're gonna be straight edge like >>15966022

It all boils down to freedom and how you use it

I'm willing to bend the rules and accept the consequences of not going to the track. That's just the way it is.

>>15966059
Minivans are practical as fuck.

SUVs are comfy as fuck on shitty city streets with those big tires.

I agree with the OP. What exactly is the point of a sports car if you don't track it?

>>15966069
>Used

>I'm not poor!!!

My sides hurt now, thanks

>>15966049
...

Are you for real?

>>15966183
I'm just saying any poorfag can afford a sports car, tardboy. Being rich isn't a requirement for sports car ownership.

>>15965972
You are probably just a boring person. I'll be lucky to live to 70, why waste any time driving a soap bar when you can enjoy all the time you spend driving. If you want a sports car the only excuse you have for not owning one is you are too poor.

>>15966206
It is for a new nice looking fast one like my challenger buddy boy. You know how BMW owners need to put their keys on the bar to get pussy? I just pull up and the pussy comes out to me

>>15966206
Depends what you mean by poorfag. I work an entry level full time job and drive a 350Z and it's never really been a financial problem. When I was a student on casual/part time jobs, it was only a dream.

Straya though, your economy might be different. Zs are more expensive over here.

>>15966208
I'm not planning on being a lifelong toaster driver, my dream car is a Rolls. Someday I'll own one, and it'll be more practical to drive around town than any sports car.

Oh yeah?

I don't track my car because the local track is literally one turn better than a fucking oval. Fuuuuck that. The next nearest track is a long ass way away. Add to that another car with a car trailer because I'll inevitably break something, all the safety gear, licenses, certification, and track day fee, I'd literally be saving all my spare monies for a monthly track event on a real track.

lmao. People like you really exist. Mind = blown.

>>15966266
I still can't belive women pay attention to cars. I'm not doubting you or anything, it's just so fucking stupid. I mean, I figure anyone would prefer an attractive guy with a big dick even if he drives a shitbox (to actually have sex and enjoy it).

>>15966254
And yes, I get that. You get to drive in comfort, not a harsh ride, with a luxury sound system that massages your ears and attractive wood accents entertain your eyes. Meanwhile, when you mash the go pedal, it gets up to speed in a respectable manner and transports you down the road in luxurious comfort.

I can see what is desirable there.

What I don't see is why someone would buy a loud, rattly, harsh-riding, usually cheap interior-ed car that's purpose is for winning races of one type or another, and then drive it on pothole-y, cracked and rough public roads.

>>15966266
boipucci, maybe. Girls don't GAF about badges.

>>15966306

protip: 90% of car use is sitting in traffic. The true god tier combination is:
>anonymous soap bar for mon-fri
>fun motorcycle or classic car for the weekend

That way when you have to carry people, move shopping, tow a trailer, go to the beach, get fertilizer from home depot, whatever... you just take the shitbox car that you don't care about. Then on the weekend when you have time and mindset to have fun, you can truly enjoy a specialty machine.

Pic related, I'm currently lusting over a classic GS1000. Sweet as fuck old air cooled rig that is both way more fun to operate, and far easier to work on as a project, than some watered down sports car. Shit car, sweet bike is the perfect formula.

>>15966332

Some men have this gene in them that sees a car and immediately connects with it. We can feel the taughtness of the suspension and the reaction of the engine when we push the pedal. We feel the gears catch the driveshaft and rocket us past All the normies in their Camry shitboxes. Owning a sports car frees that inner kid in us that just wants to break the rules. It's freedom really

I like the combo idea. Have a reliable econobox for A to B commuting and a fun sports car to tinker with and hoon.

Right now I have a Fiesta for a DD and I plan on buying a RWD V8 coupe soon as a weekend toy.

>>15966675
I fucking love this

>My russian coworker bought an old BMW and it didn't run LOL
>New BMW's are shit anon, you should of bought an old one

Just accept the fact that girls do see a BMW as a status symbol and there have been guys who get laid by putting the keys on the bar. I'm sorry if you think all women are angels. Some just want a good fucking by a dude with money or at least by someone who they view as having money

>>15966690
I'm just saying some poor schmuck bought into that whole "lay some BMW marked keys on the bar will get pussy" meme and got burned.

Aside from that, if you're using money to attract women, well, you're not attracting the right kind of woman.

Unless you're into gold-digging whores, I guess.

you poor, poor soul. I thought elliot already proved BMWs are a meme lol

>>15966743
Not impossible, but highly unlikely.

I see several obstacles here, first is your gold digging whore has to be so into BMW keys that she can identify whether you have a valuable new BMW or an old shitbox BMW.

Second is, girls don't just see keys and start blowing you, there has to be some conversation and PUA shit inbetween the keys and the blowie. Like, you have to carry a conversation and not come off as a creep and/or an autist. This is where Elliot failed.

Third, why am I having this convo with an obvious troll? Boredom, I guess.

>>15965972
>what is fun

People need to measure less miles per gallon and embrace smiles per gallon

I may not be able to justify sport cars per se, but here's my 2 sheckles.

I drive a lifted work Truck, and unlike all the brodozers out there, it's loud and has a shitty ride. But I love it like that. I prefer to hear all the mechanisms moving and working, feel every bump in the road, and just be aware that I'm controlling a 3ton piece of steel powered by explosions rather than have a numbingly comfortable and quiet ride.

>>15966788
Show me a link to a new 2014 BMW for 20k or less. Remember, new means no owners. If you do this I'll leave /o/ for good

I think the point he's trying to make is your theoretical BMW loving gold digging whore isn't going to know the difference between your "brand new" car that you've been using for a while and a lightly used car that is worth what your car is.

What's the point to anything at all past what you need?

What good does the money I'd have saved do me if I don't enjoy my life?

I actually am. Funny thing about being your own boss though, the boss still has to go to work and it ain't nearly as glamorous or carefree as you make it out to be. I still leave the office hating my fucking job from time to time.

Don't need luck, just need stress relief from time to time and that's why I own a sportscar. I appreciate the kind thoughts though.

I'm planning on making a Corolla SR-5 salvage track-ready once I have the cash saved up. Learn how cars work, and have fun with the finished product.

Every once in a while I get tempted to buy nice food for a "nice" evening but then I realize that there is literally no point to eating nice food.

I wen't and bought a "nice" car that has power and a good sound system and has power.

But it isn't a "sports" car because those are pointless.

I literally just like doing engine swaps and going to the grocery store in a good looking car. I fucking suck at cornering. Owning sports cars is fun.
