Help me distinguish between sportscars

Except for the very slight fact you ignored the reasons that they do exist, which is for escapism - and you know it. I even went to the trouble of stating that its not the only form of escapism, and even that it is one of the less harmful forms of escapism.

I didn’t call that out, no, but I certainly didn’t ignore it. In fact, I revel in it.

Your first few posts are all about the most incredibly boring ways to measure the value of a car. People don’t love sports cars because they’re impractical, that just happens to be a side effect. A side effect that no one gives a shit about.

I almost like where you’re finally going with this post, but this part makes no sense at all:

@casdave

Sports cars are all about escapism, about fun, that they cannot be taken objectively. Sports cars are trivial, meaningless, its also part of what makes them attractive.

Escapism, fun, passions, emotions, memories and sensations are all always going to be subjective. None of those things are even close to trivial and meaningless. To more than a few people, they’re the most important things in the world.

In modern cars, Lambos are jagged and bold, Ferrarris are smooth and refined, Vipers are wide(the engine is also in the front), and the GT is the only car of its kind.

Thanks for the descriptions. I’ll google up some images and try to educate myself.
