What cars do you own? Why?

C32:
-4 doors for my family.
-so funny when I smoke the Evo/Sti on open hiway.
-like to supprise those drivers of those Super cars.
-easy to launch at traffic light, I always out launch Evo/Sti.
-people thinks my family is rich driving a M Benz.

Evo 7:
-Fast on twisty roads, with my average driving skill I can beat my Ferrari/Porsche friends with one hand.
-Passengers always scream when turbo kicks in.
-must rev to 5500+rpm to launch fast.

Ferrari Dino:
-When I park on the street, it attract more people than the F360, Gallado...

How many billions of times can the same thread by redone ?


Remember to next start the age-old token threads :


"Whats your age ?"


"What do you do/sell/distribute to afford your Benz?"


"Post pics of your yourself/hot girlfriend/lesbian lover, etc"

It's usually the ones who think they have something impressive in whichever category who start these threads. I mean if someone has a 24" TV with mono sound they would never start a thread "What's your Home Theater setup?" These are almost always about stroking themselves in a particular category and they really don't care what other people have.

I'm not so sure that's the case here since this collection isn't all that impressive. Well I mean it's fine, nothing wrong with those cars, but on a Mercedes board?...well I suspect some posters have some REALLY nice cars.

In general though these threads die a slow painful death since many others fall victim to the 'wow nice X' where X is an object in the category of said post's subject.

I don't think my cars are impressive because when I attend local car club gathering most people own more expensive cars than I do, F40, F50, Carrera GT, SLR, CLKGTR...you have any idea how many super cars are sold to Hong Kong?
In fact, sometimes I feel ashame to drive the C32 next to friends super cars, but I don't come from a rich family and C32 is just as fast on the hiway.
I just love cars, talking about cars, looking at pictures of cars, any cars.

All you guys listen, RayWong's cars are very impressive and he has given very unique reasons (which I was also puzzled why he is keeping a Evo7 side by side with his C32) about why he is keeping them. All his cars are very unique and of sporty nature. (You guys have no idea how difficult and expensive to run three sports cars in Hong Kong). What is boring to hear is someone telling us he has a S500 for work , a Cayenne SUV for family day and a Z4 for going out to pubs.

And , I don't give one **** about anybody else has got a better list of cars. Okay.

The Evo7 is so much fun to drive, the AYC+ACD makes the car pivot in tight turns, don't know how to describe that feeling.
My 19 yr old girl friend hated my low class Evo7, and told me I look better in M Benz, so I got the C32. Girls young or old actually prefer classy Benz!

Nothing wrong with loving cars, talking about cars and admiring cars.

However, the average person in Hong Kong doesn't even have a car. Car prices in Hong Kong are very high. So are fuel costs, parking fees, and insurance costs. Owning any type of premium vehicle is out of reach for most of the population. If you feel ashamed to drive the C32, just hang out with other "not so rich" people. It's all relative to who you compare to. You should step back and get some perspective and be grateful you can enjoy the cars you have.

By the way, nice video with the Ferrari 360 Modena. Gotta love that torque of the C32!! Which tunnel was that in?

One would think the Triad's would have more money and buy say....a Benz, BMW, Lexus, etc. Instead their driving some average Joe Honda/Acura!!

I just added the mod list to my signature.
It wasn't a fair match. The F360's driver was a BIG man, and a tall passenger and A/C on. The C32 only a average size driver with nothing in the trunk and A/C off.
