That happens with every sports car, no matter the price or rarity. Can't control what other people do, so no sense fretting over it.

Que sera sera.

Yup. Here in the U.S. you know they would just take it down at the first complaint.

TL;DR

People these days. Sheesh. People have no personal accountability. Blame everything and everyone without taking a look in the mirror.

BTW, love that advertisement whoever came up with that deserves a bonus or a promotion.

You gotta say the ad is very clever. It made me smile if you asked me.

The less non-enthusiast, kids, and people in general to own these cars the better imo.

Second that ..............
