Well said. A lot of people just buy these cars because they "look cool". I suppose that is ok considering it helps move units...

I saw a WRB BRZ earlier this evening, and I was immediately excited. I parked and as I was getting out of my FR-S, I saw him drive by and it was a dude with his wife in the passenger seat, and a child in the back seat.

I immediately realized that he didn't really give a fuck that I was in my FR-S in front of him. I went to raise my hand to wave, but then saw how occupied he was with his passengers that I lowered my hand.

It's kinda frustrating, but there's a large percentage of people who will never "drive these cars like they're meant to be driven". Instead, they'll just put put around town with them, keeping the engine under 4k rpm.
