Porsches, Ferraris, Lambos, - I just don't get it

[bqf]

Those other threads about not 'getting' cars have made me think:

Why would anyone want to drive a fast, cool car with an iconic pedigree or racing history? Why would anyone want to drive a car that makes children say 'wow', or girls say 'how much was it - we're really getting divorced this time'.

I LITERALLY JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND ANY OF IT.

or why you would want to pay 100k+ for a car when i can chip a 10 year old golf diesel that i paid 2 grand for to be faster?

And I hardly see the attraction of owning a car that would get you blow jobs from young attractive women ???

I really dislike brussels sprouts. For the life of me, I can't understand why people would eat brussels sprouts when there are far tastier foods available.

I take it the concept of 'marketing' is a new one to you

I love lasagne, but I've had some horrible ones. Never had a bad slice of toast though, I throw away all the burnt ones.

I just can't understand people who would eat burnt toast or tolerate sub-standard lasagne. I really just can't.

What is more, why would anyone risk being called a hairdresser by the bunch of ultra masculines in their white van ? I just don't get it...
