He makes some good points though I doubt it will sway any of us.

It feels like what people have to tell themselves when they are facing an unpleasant reality.

Nice pics, but as far as the content goes, Business Insider is clickbait journalism, run by disgraced Henry Blodget

Bunch of ridiculous statements...

1. Of course it’s supposed to be low to the ground.
2. No such thing as too much power, just requires improved driving skills
3. Simple, don’t crash. Respect the laws oh physics and your own limits.
4. Well, they are no RR. Not supposed to be.
5. Learn to deal with it.
6. Don’t worry about what people think, unless you really are and drive like one
7. Irrelevant
8. No it won’t
9. Only the first few days
10. Get creative
11. Sure you can. Just don’t get caught or go to the track
12. Completely missed the point
13. Make sure you have good insurance. It’s just a car. If you worry about use and enjoyment, sell it.

So, yeah, decent pics. Frivolous article.

Sounds a little bitter to me, defiantly a "half empty" kind of guy.

This has to be the most stupid article Ive read in a while and Ive read some really stupid ones. Dont buy a super car because you cant drink coffee? Dont buy a supercar cause you wont be able to stop staring at your car?

Seriously? no wonder there is so much talk of Fake News these days. These idiots paid too much for their college education and got a job paying minimum wage cause they major in topics like human behavior. good luck with your career. morons.
