the image-sound garage ... haha

S-Class to daily,
DB9 Volante for open top GT

then...
Porsche GT3
Ferrari 16m or Scuderia
CLK63 Black Series

In love with the 458 and 911 Turbo, but the Scud and GT3 are a bit more special. Generally people will appreciate Scuds and GT3s, whereas the 458 or a Turbo could easily generate any hate that a ferrari or porsche may generate. Put it bluntly, you may come across as a ******.

With a scud or GT3, its like you're showing your passion for motorsport and its players... whereas with the 458 or Turbo you pretty much just look like you're in a flashy ride. Sure, there's some overlap here.

For DDs: I'll take a Benz -- the Benz image is well respected and works for celebs as well as businessmen. Then, a black Aston -- Astons are formal, classy, elegant but subtle. If I was a celeb or a fashion designer though, it'd be a Lambo over an Aston as Lambos are chic.

Otherwise Porsche and Ferraris have an ostentatious, look at me image and just aren't cool, they belong at country clubs or in front of night clubs filled with paper-thin clowns. Astons and Lambos are cool and confident though. Though a businessman in a lambo is not right.

So, my proposition for this thread is if I want a Ferrari, Porsche or even sports car Benz, I'll take the track versions that show that I appreciate driving and am a car enthusiast even if I'm not going to track it.

Just my opinion, and sort of funny that I've based it on image.


599s and f12s may be an exception

What are your opinions...

 

What do you think is more fair: forming opinions on people overhaul they speak or how they dress? Actions speak louder than words?

Do you think there's a difference between someone that drives a benz vs bmw vs audi?

Cars explain how people perceive themselves, and yes there are exceptions, some people who just drive whatever. But usually what they choose to drive is a result of how they think they should look.

And people, especially in NY, will judge you on what you drive. If you're a 40 y/o in a turbo, you come across as a jerk. If your a kid in a bmw, you come across as a punk.

 

You like attention.

 

I'm obsessive.

Concerned about image does not equal Ferrari.
