who gives a shit about justifying a sports car to non-enthusiasts?

He probably checked his tire pressure with an analog gauge. He's lucky that he didn't crash.

The main lesson of Initial D is that a crappy car can beat much better cars IF:

2. The crappy car only does downhill races.

From the headline I thought this would be about buying a bad car, not about spending way too much on an okay car. Interesting conceptual shift.

That probably would have saved him a lot of money, but he is really impulsive and wanted an excuse to get another car. My dad is not normal.

it was impossible to justify keeping a 2 seater as a third car after a kid entered the equation. The kid fits in the back of my abarth (cabrio) in his Recaro :)

For many people, especially people who have the wealth to drive a 2-seat sports car, it's easier on the back to get into the seat butt-first and rotate-in, and vice-versa to get out. Unfortunately, that tends to crush the driver's door-side bolster. But usually it's that or crippling back pain.
