> no i dont need to, but i know why i have it, i know that i use it to full potential, my point was if you have a vehicle that big atlest use it, many people dont, i clearly use my car for what it was built for, and where else would you like to have this discussion about CARS, on a rocknroll foruam maybe? maybe a forum about flowers?
this is a discussion about people having more than what they need… an you have WAY more than what you need to do what you gotta do. Your car is your main transportation, so you do NOT NEED a v8 and you def do NOT NEED to add more power. Using it to it’s full potential is just your opinion. Your car was made to transport you to wherever you desire, so I guess you are using it… but you could do the same thing is a much smaller, slower, cheaper car. Thats the point. You do NOT NEED what you have. No one here does.
A discussion about unnecessary cars should not be on a car enthusiasts forum. Why? cause we are all completely guilty of it. you cannot complain about some soccer mom driving an H2 when you have some 500hp car. They are both overkill and to say that the soccer mom is any different than yourself is fucking foolish. I’m actually shocked that I have to point that out.

First off, we discuss PLENTY of things that arent car enthusiests related, so hop off, people can talk about whatever they want on here, we are talking about cars, plain and simple, there always has to be a problem with you? No one can just talk about something without you shooting it down, calm the fuck down and let people tlak about whatever they want.
By the way, i dont drive a 500hp car, and my car is not my main source of trasportation, where do you get off knowing me? I bought the camaro because i got it cheap as shit, i get good gas mileage and i can race with it, and yes i actually do race with it. I get 100 percent out of my car, do i NEED it no, you are right about that, but does it work with my budget absolutely, for a 5’2" 40 yr old woman to drive an escalade because she has two kids is absurd. You know it and I know, and we do have the right to talk about it

… calm down??! HAHA. You are so tightly wound it’s insane. I’m fine
don’t flatter yourself… I wasn’t saying that you have a 500hp car… it was just an example. You having a SECOND car is just as bad as some little wee-bitch driving a monster SUV. You both do not need what you have.
You can discuss whatever you want, but it makes absolutely no sense to rag on someone when you are just as guilty as they are… thats all I’m saying. I agree that most people dont’ need big ass trucks and shit, but I have two vehicles and one I rarely drive, so I can’t say shit. :lol

im not guilty if im not driving a big truck, it makes perfect sense, to you it doesnt, not much does, which is fine with me. Im not guilty at all, i have nothing in excess, i have two cars because i have obligations, if one cars down and out i have another. WHo are you to say what i need or dont? You cant honestly say that i am guilty. I am aware of what i own, why i own it and i use them to full potential, i think that was my point? Try and keep up before accusing me about being the same type of person

> useless vehicles. i agree with you 100%. i was in one, once. i look at it, and im like, well its a large vehicle. its prolly like a bus inside. i get in the back and my head hit the roof. i slid down and my knees went into the front seat. so its either hit my head or my knees. COME ON! that thing is like a school bus and has less room than my A6? embarassing! melt them down for parts for normal usefull cars. melt them all down and make 5 times as many Kei cars, we need em in the US
Wow, can’t believe Im gonna call the site owner an idiot! 😉 Seriously, Its what works for you, right now, at this point in life, its a wise decision!

Another generalized short cited comment.

Absurd… thats how i view your opinion. How do you know that 40 yr old women doesnt need to tow a boat once a year and haul her kids friends home from soccer practice… and like doing so in a soft comfy ride, cause her sugar daddy can afford it with ease. Wow, I smell socialist.

I was joking bub, relax.
merely pointing out that for people who don’t care you guys are particularly defensive, in this thread.
