I'm pretty sure that if everyone here had the money to afford a lambo/ferrari they wouldnt go and buy a crappy car and soup it up to match the performance, cause in the end its still a crappy car, period.
The engineering that goes into a car of that stature is far beyond any car that you put together in a garage.

I guess on some level, exotic car is like that rich kid in your class that you can never be friends of cause he is way out of your league and yet, even if you win lottery the next day, you are still not in his league because he was naturally born rich.
A person that makes 15 dollars an hour with 1 million 649 price will not be able to afford an exotic.

When you are born naturally rich and have a high volumn of steady income, you can drive anything. People like that don't worry about maintenance. They worry about if their car is the dopest car in town or not.
People who all of a sudden won lottery can buy the car initially, but they will start worry about maintenance later on because their steady income is 12 dollars an hour. The exotic will eat the entire lottery in no time.

I dont even care...I'm the kind of stupid person that has the mentality that if i spend $450K for a car, im gonna drive it everyday, and in the winter too.
You'll know it's me when you see a lambo with winters, rust, and 150,000 km plowing through 5 inches of snow on the 401 in mid january.

^ very true, also driving a high hp car in snow is extremly dangerous...so easy to crash and spin out etc, i know with my car now i try not toe vne drive it in the rain because its not really all that safe and doesnt grip very well.

now would this be a exotic..
1) very few men/women ever get a chance to drive one
2) maintaining it is a bitch and very expensive
3) can only drive in a few months of the year
4) for 1 season it could far more expensive then any high end exotic
tell me what you think

Yeah you could soup up a lesser car to be just as fast as one of those exotics or super cars, but then wouldn't you rather just buy the nicer car instead of ending up driving a $75,000 Civic or something??
Not my tastes to buy a super exotic car, if I had the cash, I'd just stick with something like a Porsche Boxster or something. Nothing too crazy!
