    You should thank your lucky stars you are even allowed to post here. After all, you only own a Mclaren. A used one at that. Usually I would ask the mods to delete someone with such a cheap car but I'll it it slide this time because of all the pain you have e endured.

    My problem is from the Middle class starting at Charger owners up to Audi owners. They are the ones I suffer from. Not all people from their class are bad but the rich have no incentive to bash their compatriote. The rich are very nice people here in KSA and don't try to insult you to feel better about themselves.

    Only a person who cannot afford my car will try to bash someone to feel better about himself.

    60K is a very mean statement to make even if you were to choose that I ignore.

    I can ignore if 120Kbut 60K 80K?!!! Sorry tolerance fades and can't help but get hurt.

    I'd let it slide if it was just 1 or 2 people a month who make such insulting estimates that I haven't asked for. EVERYONE GIVES QUOTES to me is the reason I feel so bad.

    The prices are similar everwhere in the world. Their values of 60K 80K are values they made up from their asses to feel better about themselves. Were they to aknowledge the true value of my McLaren, they'd conclude I didn't want a Ferrari by choice which burns them.

    They both started in 2013 and as you see the difference is about 50K and no one would trash his royal heinous F12 owner and yet I'm consistently insulted :(

    Hopefully your car is not how you see yourself. In theory if you have the money one would choose the best car for driving, and not care about whether it costs more or less.

    Here folks is the problem with the modern supercar, 90% of owners purchase them based on status, or to reflect status. Thats why so many moderns sorta suck to drive, because they are sold to people who cant really drive but to pose. Thats why ferrari maintains "exclusivity" and sells so few of the good cars they actualy make like saya speciale that these cars are never actualy driven as designed.

    The cure for the MP12 owner should be to blow away every dip**** in another car with Maclarens superior performance.

    I would say learn how to really drive the thing, that way when someone tries to insult you or you car on value they can just eat your exhuast fumes. Maybe thats why they judge you car on value, because its just for posing? In which case cost is the correct value.

    I don't mind them saying: "Well your car is 50K cheaper than the F12 (It's less than 50K since mine is 2014). However, 60K 80K is a huge insulting devaluation. I really don't care about people but imagine if I called your Bugatti a 200K supercar because it's 2008 for example. The burn in my heart isn't image, it's disgust. If I cared about image, I would've crushed them with the F12.

    See less than 50K if you compare a 2014 MP4-12C Spider with a 2013 F12. Plus mine as a bodykit which further closes the gap but they clearly refuse to think rationally:

    I have a friend who used to have a 360 and then a California.. and then he drove a Mp4 which he LOVED. He now owns a 675 and he's told me that when I drive it, I'm going to leave Ferrari for McLaren. He actually drives his cars. Naturally, my 360 is a stick so.. I'm never selling it. :)

    I get it. People think that you are copping out on a Ferrari, you're a wannabe because it's a McLaren and not a Ferrari. Kind of the BS like "Cayman owners just couldn't afford a 911".

    The problem is you put too much emphasis on letting a material object define you. I used to be insecure until I defined better who I was. If you're on a deserted island and you have the clothes on your back.. who is that person. If you stop looking inside of you and look outside at other people and give of yourself to them, you'll be more confident in you. Then you'll see what's really important in life.

    Everyone in this thread will be dead within a 100 years and nothing really matters. Certainly not what other people think of your car. Enjoy it in good health.

    Perhaps if you were to gold plate the entire car you'd get more respect.

    seriously. Why didnt the OP just buy a real car like a Lambo Huracan. Shocked that someone would actually waste money like this. Being a billionaire and all, I know there is plenty of money to piss around but a 12c? A used 12c? serious?

    I'm not a billionaire. My materal and paternal grandparents are the UHNWIs. My dad is worth 6-7M and I'm a broke medical student. I'm no leach and I'm paying back the car to my dad and only got it because my gpa is 4.79/5 (4.80 when I got the car) and I study all the time. I have no access to any of the money (nor do I want access on money I didn't earn) and have begged for years to get a car like this.

    you are a broke medical student buying an exotic.

    you will remain broke all your life as you try to live the life of your family.

    Make sure you dont miss psychiatry rotations. perhaps your fellow students can use you as a case study.

    We have no student loans here in KSA, so I'm in a sense getting a "free car" (excluding maintenance and insurance) if you see how much debt a US medical student has when he graduates. The goverment pays for your education and high school performance with high government exam scores is all that's required to be admitted. That's meritocracy at its best. The average US medical graduate has 180K of debt:

    I get it...

    My grandfather lived in NY an started a small realestate business. He got up to 20mm or so. He then gave my father 1mm to start his real estate business. Over 30 years he got it up to 8B or so. Now, flies in helicopters, travels the world, has a young model wife, and dabbles in politics.

    I dont think he ever bought used cars though. Everything he bought was new, even the helicopter, and then had it custom fitted. Usually gold plated everything. But then again he always bought the best of everything. His stuff is mostly in NY, some in florida and Russia. Nothing in the ME I don't think.

    He also liked putting his name on his buildings, so parking a used supercar in front of them would be a negative. Plus, usually at that wealth level, you have drivers and bullet proof cars.

    Gotta go, he's gonna be on the news again in 2-3 hours. He and his buddy from Indiana are in Washington DC and have some kind of conference going on. Haven't kept up with it much, but figure as its a family thing I should go.

    Good luck with the used supercar scenario. I get it. Its a drag...

    This has to be a joke. Please dont tell me you are SUFFERING because other people think your Mclaren is worth less than it is.

    Why do you need to get other's people approval to enjoy and be happy with what you bought? It's an amazing car on its own.

    I feel you, brother. Every day, ugly guys with microweiners and bad personalities are victimized by their shallow friends. How are you supposed to get *****es, when the homies are busting on your whip? McLaren shaming has to be stopped. I'm trying to get together a bunch of celebrities to write a song similar to what USA for Africa did for world hunger. Dionne Warwick is working on it right now. Together we can make a difference.
