Criticizing one's fantasies doesn't show much class.

Hardly. If any of my friends let me buy a car like that I'd be angry as hell once I came to my senses.

If you must dump money on a car at least get something that doesn't look like a running shoe, like a jag or something. All that one is missing is a blonde bimbo in the passenger seat.

Dude, some people just like cars, you know?

Welcome to nobody cares what you think about their hobbies. Population: 6 billion.

That's one thing we have in common at least.

Which is exactly why you didn't buy it. he did.

I'd have to go with a classic...a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT (http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/CU0808/S00190.htm)

Exactly!

I can't say I really get the whole car thing but if that's what makes your heart flutter than at least get one with some style. If you're going to consume conspicuously than give a little extra thought to what you're trying to say about yourself.

Not to be condescending, but not everybody buys cars for the image they convey. In the event that they actually prefer form over function, a Pagani Zonda is chock full of actual performance that would beat the pants off of any classic Jag or Ferrari.

While I personally agree that it's not what I would have bought, I'm also not so arrogant as to presume to tell others what to do with the money they earned, or whether or not they should feel free to enjoy their hobbies how they wish.

Don't worry. I'm sure there's something you would spend money on that DHH finds equally atrocious.
