Porsches v Ferraris

[tigerbalm]

I am told a Range Rover is the ultimate gold digger magnet in the UK but I don't know.

Everyone knows that someone with a Range Rover has the money to keep repairing it!

I prefer both in my garage!

Car I miss the most is my F355.

Fantastic cars.

(It did used to make me think cars were getting too wide though... And it's a few cm narrower than a Taycan).

Loved my 911 and am loving the Taycan. But they're more... "utilitarian" in nature.

Don’t worry, you’re not missing out on anything if you own a Porsche, former 458 Spider owner here

the 458 Spider is a super nice car, at least from reading Magazines. Whats wrong with it?

Schmee is one of those people that makes me realize that taste is inherently subjective given the inverse relationship between how popular he is and how much he irritates me. Everything about the guy bugs me, even though he seems like a perfectly nice enough person. The cloying nerdiness, the gross excessiveness, the accent and artificial enthusiasm... drives me nuts.

I just think that he doesn't have taste. At least don't feel like missing anything after unsubscribed his channel.

Was at a basketball game on Friday and there was a guy rocking a Ferrari hat and a Ferrari branded jacket. There's no way anybody can pull this off, ever. If you don't own a Ferrari, dressing like that is just sad (like Joey from Friends with his Porsche outfit) and if you do - jeez, that's a pathetically desperate cry for the wrong kind of attention. As between the two, I sort of sympathize with the wannabe - the Ferrari owner should know better.

I think that depends on what Jacket. If its Ferrari motorsport ones, then its cool. I won't mind a nice styled Puma outfit with some race team logos on it.

Your Ferrari is a pretty tough machine… this guy on YouTube did a durability test on one like yours, then managed to burn it, chop it up, and made little glass boxes (700 of them) with the left over parts that he sold for $250/box (which sold out on two days).

When i am rich. I think that the Bugatti would fit me better. Ok enough dreaming. Well, i think that Porsche is the top economy car and Ferrari is good go to medium priced cars, like going for a Toyota Camry. You can't go wrong with that. But neither are aspirational cars.

I believe that a new Ferrari comes with 5 year warrantee and servicing - certainly one I looked at did. I think the days of reliability discussions are long gone.

the accent

He is English, so he speaks English pretty well without an accent. Admittedly most people in the UK and elsewhere speak with some sort of regional accent but despite the fact I find him irritating the one thing he gets right is speaking English!

It's definitely the regional aspect or maybe just his affectations... I know it's your language that we've co-opted, but maybe it's ours now because we stole it and, despite a couple of wars, you couldn't make us give it back. ?

Loads of our ex-colonies have adopted our language and to a greater or lesser extent make a reasonable crack at it.

Almost 60 countries celebrate their Independence not just the USA.

But hey, he gets paid to talk shite about cars. We do it for free. Who's the mug ?

I've never seen cars as "aspirational" aside from wanting them because of how they drive, function, look, sound etc.

Veyron's etc hold no attraction for me. On any of those fronts sadly.
