Near the entrance to my subdivision is a curve, where it\u2019s impossible to be able to tell for those leaving my hood if the next oncoming car is 250 ft away or 2,500 ft away; sometimes those leaving don\u2019t as much time as they think they do, and oncoming traffic will just have to take it on the chin that an outgoing car is going to be slowing them down as they accelerate to the speed limit.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was leaving my neighborhood one day, and within 10 seconds there was some douche in a red Ferrari right up on my bumper; obviously, I couldn\u2019t see them coming and they couldn\u2019t see me pulling out, but it was still clearly the inconvenience of a lifetime that I just had to spawn in front of his path of exceeding the posted speed limit, and I wasn\u2019t about to be willing to do him the favor of flooring it on a cold engine, during school bus hours, while on a road that has had an above average uptick of deer sightings<\/a> on the roads currently.<\/span><\/p>\n

Naturally all I could think while this clown was parked on my bumper was, what a douche<\/em>, and that even if this guy were anything but a douche, he\u2019d still look like one, because he was parading himself around in a lame as Ferrari and the perception of all exorbitantly expensive supercars to pleebs like myself is that supercars = douchebags, and it got me thinking, what could<\/em> a rich person drive around in that allows them to flaunt their wealth but not<\/em> be immediately perceived to be a douchebag?<\/span><\/p>\n

Ferrari? Douche.<\/span>
\nLamborghini? Douche.<\/span>
\nAston Martin? Douche.<\/span>
\nBugatti? Douche.<\/span>
\nPorsche? Low-rent douche.<\/span>
\nBMW? Depends on the model, but douche.<\/span>
\nViper, Corvette?\u00a0 Right-wing douche.<\/span>
\nLexus, Benz, Tesla?\u00a0 Most likely Asian who can\u2019t drive; but otherwise douche.<\/span><\/p>\n

The answer is basically, there is no luxury and\/or high-end vehicle that a person could drive that doesn\u2019t immediately make them out to be a douche.\u00a0 It sucks, but it\u2019s unfortunately irrefutably true.\u00a0 Like, I recently saw some reel of Gordon Ramsey parking and getting out of his red Ferrari in London, and even though I like the guy, he looked like a douche.<\/span><\/p>\n

I like to fantasize about what I would drive if I ever made it to the station in life where I could have whatever cars I wanted, and drive them around regularly.\u00a0 Sure, I wouldn\u2019t mind taking an actual supercar out for a spin, just to feel what it feels like, but the reality is that I probably wouldn\u2019t want something like a Lambo or a Ferrari or an Aston Martin.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ceiling of higher-end vehicles that I\u2019ve considered wanting out of the box is probably like an Audi A3 or a Sport Quattro<\/a>, but the latter is basically impossible as it\u2019s been out of production for quite some time.<\/span><\/p>\n

I think the reality is that when the day is over, I\u2019d probably want a litany of project cars and Japanese sports cars, that more than likely, one that I\u2019ve had a hand in customizing, if not putting in some of the wrench work myself, because that\u2019s a talent that I wished I had, being able to work on cars.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently, I saw this 1974 Honda Civic build, that someone had restored and modified to where it had a more modern K20 motor from a Type-R Honda of some sort, but the end result is this gorgeous restoration with modern performance, and this is precisely the kind of aesthetic and want that I\u2019d have for a car if I were stinking FU rich.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s up there with the RX-2 from Fastest Car<\/em><\/a> as inspiration for the types of rides I want to have if I had the money, means and know-how on how to make happen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Frankly, I don\u2019t think there\u2019s like any car after maybe 1998 that I\u2019d want in a future garage of mine, because the aesthetic of cars in general changed to be too spaceship-py and I\u2019m not a fan of the direction of modern automotive aesthetics in general.<\/span><\/p>\n

If I had FU amounts of money, and I could get into collecting cars, I\u2019d definitely want the following cars:<\/span><\/p>\n
