I couldn't possibly give less of a flying fuck about supercars. Seriously, what's the goddamn point of even talking about them? None of us will probably ever drive one, let alone own it. Those cars are simply an exercise in ego-stroking for people with too much time & money on their hands. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't really care to waste my energy drooling over something unattainable anymore.

And don't say they're useful because the R&D/tech that goes into them filters down to the regular cars us peons drive, because the knowledge of how to make a car go decently fast, relatively cheaply, has been around for decades. All the R&D is about how to pile as much luxury shit into the box as they can while staying the smallest fraction of a step ahead of competitors. Simply look at the weight of most "performance" cars built today, even the supercars, and you can see where design priorities are. For years upon years they've gotten bigger & heavier instead of getting lighter, which is bass-fucking-ackwards. Especially in an era where lightweight materials abound and structural designs are well optimized through CAD/FEA.

Goddammit I hate the auto industry, and everyone that supports & encourages them by actually buying these stupid fucking piece of shit cars. Fucking stupid fucks.

Fuck.
