The F1 with a single seat.
When you reach the epitome, with noone to accompany you.
spoiler
This breaks down immediately, because you have multiple others around you, on the same track. They are your colleagues, your friends and your rivals.
And I haven’t checked, but I’d say the F1 is more efficient at running than the Lambos
This breaks down thousands of hours before an F1 car starts because it takes thousands of people to design them
I’m pretty sure the Lamborghini car also took quite a bit of people-interaction. Road compliance and all, you know?
I actually do know. I briefly worked in F1, and I also separately registered my own car with a properly hand built chassis to NY state registration standards.
They are orders of magnitude apart. It’s like saying “both this IKEA glass and the space shuttle took quite a bit of engineering”. Trust me, more hours were put into any mundane F1 part than almost any other vehicle out there
I bet there are a lot of remote drone racing competitions …
Lol, madlads/madlasses
I dunno, the bus I drive costs more than double what that car costs.
Did you pay for it?
I mean, I’m a taxpayer so kind of lol
A smart car has two seats, a bus has 50
But the car on the second panel is a Ginetta G58 (with a Chevy engine) for LMP3, not road legal … witch … ok, it does have two seats, so it checks out, carry on.
The seats:
Nice catch.
That’s a straight up racecar, though. Like it’s built exclusively for entertainment and fun, not epeen.
I’d respect someone driving a Ginetta G58 around (or, more practically, an Ariel Atom, a homogilation special or something) way more than a chonky, overpriced lambo. That screams “I don’t care what you think, I like to drive” instead of “hey everyone, look how rich I am!”
Like this people driving around these monsters. That’s beyond flaunting wealth, that’s someone’s neurotic hobby, and most bystanders aren’t going to realize how special they are compared to the Porsche trailing them:
is that a Cossie back there?
big want
RS200, with group-B cat ears.
It’s a horrifically fast 4wd RS200 in a cossie’s skin, heh.
Same with the Peugot. You’d think it’s just a 205 until you get in, and see a worryingly loud engine behind the seat.
Haha the RS200 is the only “Cossie” I’m actually familiar with, as we didn’t get the homologated version in the USA :(
I did not recognize the Peugot though lol. Both sound like a load of fun to drive
Love those bbs rims on the Peugeot.
It’s also a weight decision. If you bring five American friends along, you just doubled the weight of the car.
Engineering decisions: how can make something that pollutes to the legal max both in particles, noise, and, come to think of it, any aspect possible? Oh, I know, a car!
Commas, man. They’re important to not abuse. You made my brain hiccup
To split infinitives or to not split infinitives, that is the question.
This shit ain’t Latin. English splits infinitives.
How would you split an infinitive in latin?
That… no… but…
The argument that “you can’t split infinitives”, as I’ve heard it, is because you can’t split infinitives in Latin (since the “to” is a part of the verb itself). This might be fallacious (a straw man) according to Wikipedia, but I’m fine with that. People split infinitives and I’ve never seen a strong argument as to why that’s wrong.
That’s my understanding, too. It’s a fact I was exploiting in a kind of underhanded way for humor. I like the clarity of not splitting infinitives, but I agree that it and a lot of other grammer suggestions don’t really matter as long as good communication occurs. Anything more than that will probably be defined by far more specific conventions in whatever professional specialty applies. Thanks for having fun with me on the internet.
Was this supposed to be fun?
Aren’t grammar and etymology always fun?
Very carefully.
What’s Your, Problem?
edit - “You’re”
Commas, man.
Oh look it’s the wankermobile out for an afternoon drive.
Where’s the line drawn here?
Like I never like to label all X as Y for a start, but if you own a Porsche are you a wanker? I own a Mercedes
I amam I a wanker?Is it sports car with little utility? I have many things that make me happy with little utility.
Edit: Removed the Freudian slip 😦
Yes.
🥱 👋
Generally speaking, buying any car that is the median price of a house makes you a wanker driving a wankermobile.
Really don’t get this mindset. A doctor can earn enough money to buy a Ferrari and it’s their money to do with as they please.
My issue is with people with obscene wealth, not rich people who work hard and provide actual value to the world.
Honestly I find your viewpoint to be quite naive at best and bitterness at worst.
I like how you just imagine that it’s a hardworking doctor or your other favorite type of hardworking guy and then you call me naive. 😆
Literally met a doctor who owned a Ferrari, it wasn’t a made up thing. To be clear he is a consultant cardiologist.
In fact when I worked for Apple I met many regular rich people who just have decent lives from value jobs and worked hard.
If you think single or double digit millionaires are the problem then you’re misguided. The problem is generational wealth or those with hundreds of millions or billions extracting value from the world.
FYI: A consultant (medical) can earn £100k - £140k per year in the UK. Source Easily enough to finance a Ferrari with low interest or save and buy one, or the shock even lease one.
A lot of single or low double digit millionaires are slumlords on the side. It’s much easier to accumulate wealth through capital formation than through hard work. But I’m naive for not believing your anecdata, I know.
Many of the people flying in to try to overturn the election on January 6th were the single digit millionaire crowd you’re swearing are all great people on the basis of having met a couple.
I make enough money according to you to drive a Ferrari and lots of others do too. Yet they remain very rare cars. It takes a certain type of wanker to actually buy and drive the stupid fucking thing.
And while we’re at it, it takes a certain type to defend the hypothetical owners of a stupid meme car.
Christ you seem that dense that you could be mistaken for a black hole.
Sure a lot can be assholes or whatever, but it doesn’t mean we just assume everybody is. Reddit had a mince problem, it’s likely you came from Reddit, during API gate I would guess, you happy be called a mince too?
Then you’re going in about Jan 6th like it’s apples to apples. I didn’t say all single digit millionaires are good. Furthermore many if those people did that not because they’re rich but because they have fucked up political beliefs.
Good for you. Shame unit someone assumed you were a slumlord too wouldn’t it. Personally if I earned that much I would be retired once I hit £1M. I also don’t judge people based on a singular purchase, that’s bloody insane and really does seem naive.
I’m not defending anybody, I’m merely pointing out the idiocy of saying all X are Y.
Next time I buy a car I’ll be sure to consult you to ensure that I’m making a choice that fits your world view. Do I need to do this with others things too? As I neglected to reach out when I bought a new camera recently.
If the first thing you say about it to everyone is how much it cost, you are a wanker.
Who is even saying that? I don’t believe I ever mentioned cost.
Notice the implied and unquestioned assumption that “life goals” means accumulating resources and not building relationships or contributing to society. In fact, it’s expected that personal relationships and societal responsibilities shall be neglected in the quest for resources.
And if you do have friends, they can laugh at you when you struggle to get out of the car
So sexy! 🥵
You won’t be accumulating anything without building vital relationships.
For sure, but there is a vast spectrum of what can constitute a “relationship.” There are many transactional relationships that are absolutely vital to accumulating resources, even for ordinary working people. But being necessary for survival doesn’t mean they are what will bring you fulfillment in life.
Yeah, that’s why Elon Musk is well known for his ability to form and maintain many meaningful relationships…
Well, yes. How do you think he became the lead of DOGE? With the help of a random number generator?
Oh you’re right, it was his deep and enduring relationship with Donald Trump, as we all know they’re BFFs, and not the $250 million dollars he donated.
Your life can be so much better if you get over the notion of having to own things. Almost every luxury out there can be enjoyed without having to own it, as long as you’re able to discard the consumerist propaganda that you’ve not enjoyed it properly unless you can take it home.
Aka take joyrides in other people’s Lambos, then ditch the car, but NOT AT YOUR HOME.
Yeah, and I think that is tied to a subconscious need for good things to be permanent.
I think that truly internalizing the temporary nature of literally everything is an important part of getting to the mindset you’re talking about.
If this wasn’t 2025 I would have thought this image was satire it’s so overtly toxic and stupid.
Yet here we are.
The car they’re working on only has one(functional) seat…
Expensive Rear engine Yellow
This made me giggle. You could really rile up this type of person with that logic.
“Yeah, it’s all the same, man. $600k, rear engine, yellow, 600hp. I guess one of them doesn’t include a professional driver, but we can’t always have everything.”
“This is a Lamborghini! It’s a big deal!”
“Oh, sorry bro, I didn’t mean that as like a dig at you. You’ll get there. Just stay on your grind.”
Ha, I love that the bus is the one with a professional driver.
This taught me absolutely nothing about B2B sales!
I’d have so many friends if I had a Lamborghini bus 🤔
If you’re choosing life-goals that shut out your friends, those are the wrong life-goals.
Bold of you to assume people like this have had friends.
TIL: The people on the bus are my friends! Yay!
Commute friends are great. You’ve got a pleasant conversation for the ride, and another source of information when your ride is canceled.
The bus on the bus go bus bus bus!
Depending on the route, I’d argue that you should be careful what you wish for. Having said that, I found your response extremely wholesome to a Kenneth Parcell level.
“Oh, hi, new friend! Is that a test tube in your mouth? You must be a scientist!”
“Golly, that sure is a big knife! Thanks for defending all of us bus friends!”
“Golly, that sure is a big knife! Thanks for defending all of us bus friends!”
Interestingly, I’ve had a variant of this conversation, on the bus. Lots of people aren’t very aware of how they make the people around them feel, but most people aren’t really trying to bother anyone most of the time.
Yeah, it’s a good place to mind one’s own business. Also, I would argue that’s good general life advice, too.
