just wait 20 years to read the article

Here's a McLaren someplace no McLaren owner is ever going to take his/her McLaren.

Ignore all those stupid responses to your post. You said it in plainest possible English at the end; you "ain't hatin". I totally get what your saying. While I might some day dream about owning a new R8, I know I probably won't, and though I'd be just as happy to buy a used one ten years down the line, it's still much…

Can afford, do not want.

Wait, what? This is an enthusiast site where we come to ogle awesome feats of engineering, not to be pissy about things we can't afford. Chill.

Car guys are car guys, wealthy or not. We do the same stuff, and read the same blogs as everyone else, money does not change who you are.

I feel like we'd be best friends

$70 for a warning triangle and first aid kit?

In fairness, I think that this site generally does a good job of covering more average cars (example: see the massive amount of coverage of the Focus RS) while still covering halo cars and higher end vehicles. I would agree in general that the average readership cannot afford six figure vehicles on here - but I…

There are plenty of Jalops that can afford a vehicle like this.

I know how much they cost. If you read my post I said cheapest of the mid engine sports cars. It's the cheapest of its class and frankly a great value if that is the kind of car you are looking for.

I don't think our witty Slayer of Enthusiast Dreams and Bringer of The Nightmare Called Reality means that he doesn't enjoy said vehicles. It's just that he is echoing a sentiment that has been stated here and that car companies know—-often times enthusiasts will say "if they build this, I'll buy it", and when it is…

cheapest? Maybe. Cheap? Hardly. These things are a 80-100k....

Jealous! That orange looks spectacular.

Are you being serious? You're really having a fit about people admiring a car that's out of their price range?

It's about 8-12 hours a week during the summer and around 360 hours overall per year. Managing time can get tricky with chores, but I'm single and have the choice to do whatever I want. What makes it easy for me is that it's extremely fun; I hardly think of it as a sport. I get to spend hours each week exploring…

Shut up, pussy.

If they price it similar to the last gen R8 a lot of Porsche folks could afford this. It may not be VW R400 money, but it isn't Lamborgini money either.

I see a lot of this in the new R8:

I said I'll take it. I can't buy this, but as an enthusiast I appreciate cars in all price ranges.
