Can anybody give me one-good reason as to why you should own an expensive, top-of-the-range sports-car that can do 0-to-60 in less-than-one-second (or whatever...) when you live in England??
I really don't see why so-many people are willing to spend so-much on just one-car, for several reasons...
-You can't predict what the traffic's going to be like on your next journey, so you never know what motorway-accident, or "Maurene" learner-driver may lie-ahead. It's not like the average standard of driving is really that-good these days, and it seems we read about overturned lorries and that on a daily-basis.
-The cost of it all! Paying upto £100,00 for the actual car (more, if you're name's David Beckham), and then another geat, whopping load on insurance, every-year. Sure, it doesn't matter if you're a footballer, but you see all-sorts driving Mercedes' and Porsche's that you know they could surely, never afford - not with the size of their mansions, anyway.
-Speed-limits. You can drive wherever you like across the country, but you won't find a legal speed-limit at anything higher than 70mph.
So why the heck do people spend so-much on a brand-new car because of it's top-speed, when they'll never get to actually GO that fast, without the threat of losing their license, and the abillity to drive that car, full-stop?!? That's what I really don't understand!
-And then, people who buy these cars seems to think that they 'own the roads' or something, and that they can then just race-around, driving as recklessly as they like, without even the slightest bit of car for anyone else around them. Owning something expensive turns you into a kind of 'Snob'. Nobody likes you. And it also makes you a prime-target for thieves!
I really don't see the point to it.
What's wrong with simply owning a car that runs well and efficiently, can carry and seat all your needs, and encourages to do all-but break-the-law??
What do you think?
Are you one of those flashy gits with too-much money, and not a single care for anything else in this world, today??
Or, what do you think of them?
