That last page is the equivalent of an internet nerd proclaiming he wouldn't fuck a 10/10 because her elbows are pointy.

I looked at an '04 Gallardo 6pd during the VID years for shits and giggles and it felt remarkably cheap. They're cars that are stuck between being classically analog like the F355 and modern enough to have amenities you've come to expect. It felt like Audi's first car they made under the Lambo name and they weren't really sure what the market expected from it. Don't get me wrong it was nice but not the "wow this is classy/exotic/classic" one is probably going for, it just felt like an old car. I too went down the rabbit hole of manual conversions for older machines.
Then I realized I'd forgotten about some cool cars that have been generally forgotten about: older Aston's. I'm pursuing different things but the dream would be an early DBS with the 6L V12 6spd at just 3400lbs. With a tune, intake, cat delete and X-pipe muffler they push 600hp and sound like a Zonda. Some modern wheels/tires and some stance work and that's a car that will look and sound amazing forever with that timeless Bond style.

The problem with Aston is also their interior and switchgear all kind of suck. Lots of complaints of Ford parts bin items making their way into the Aston.
Not that I've actually sat in one. The exterior though, can't beat the exterior. Lambo can go sit in the corner.
There's one other issue with Lambos that no one really talks about. It's the actual livability of one. I've sat in a Murc a few times. To enable that low slung look you severely compromise your sight lines. For me to sit comfortably in a Murc means I will not see the traffic light if I'm the first car in line.

^fuck bro you got a beef about everything. Most of these exotics are compromised. They aren’t gonna do everything you want them to nor will they have the reliability of your bmw even.

I do, that's why I want myself a Beetle. Brilliant offroad, simple, inexpensive, easy to maintain, surprisingly comfortable...
Granted, I didn't shit on the Ferraris lol. I don't look highly of Ferrari as an organization, but a lot of their cars are amazing on paper.

Ford sold it's ownership in 2007 so by the 09/10 model years most of that parts bin crap was eliminated. This is the '11 DBS interior:  | |

Beetles are horribly uncomfortable. Extremely expensive expensive, a total bitch to work on…. And UGLY too !!!! Your bmw is better than these dumb ass beetles.
Ferrari is a good grail car. If you get a chance to drive one they aren’t THAT special either, But the badge goes a long way. You forgive a lot of the Italian bullshit because of the noise and the badge.

Lol what. Porsche is certainly not brilliant offroad, they are hilariously expensive, and you need like 17 socket extensions and wobbles to change a spark plug.
Don't get me wrong I'm firmly grasped on to Porsche nuts to swing from, but these are like bizzaro world statements
