How many X6Ms or G63 AMGs we see on the street are actually being driven by folks who look like they bought the car because they genuinely enjoy the driving experience and extra performance they offer over say, a regular X6 or G550?
I risk sounding like a broken record but what good is owning a fine automobile and not actually appreciating it? It's just like owning an appliance that gets you from point A to point B, much like all those middle-aged soccer moms (particularly in Richmond) who are driving AMG and M cars just because it's the top-of-the-line and they can afford it.
Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but I genuinely feel like it's terrible to own a car, regardless of what car it is, and not appreciate it to the best of your ability. My biggest pet peeve is seeing exotics and other luxury cars being driven around looking like they haven't been washed in forever.
And now on the actual topic of this thread: fuck you Lamborghini. Too many bean counters nowadays. Bring back the old days.

Good. More C-Lai driving AMG & ///M So when I buy that base 6 series 20 or so years down the road it will be easier to find ///M Goodies compared to now with my 1988 base 6 series
