This is a silly argument, if you don't understand the point go elsewhere.

I think the guy working for a paycheck is at most dropping 50K on a car. Basically, guys working in the mills here live in blue collar towns and drive 40-50K pick ups. Maybe California is different but in Pennsylvania most people are not daily driving a RWD car.

Can't say I blame you

I think it's a safe bet to say that MrWillys is biased and stuck in his old ways. That's just fine, leave him to it because you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

I just sat in one this morning. My wife goes you can get in one when you are 50 as a mid life crisis car. I am 42 so I have a few years. Then she starts laughing when I had trouble getting out of it. When my mid life crisis comes I think I am getting a truck.

QFT. That is, if you subscribe to the traditional RWD maxim for performance cars. My Focus ST is plenty sporty with an FF setup (in fact, faster in most applications than the FR-S/BRZ), but I wouldn't call it a "sports" car. Both fit the bill of being affordable performance machines, though.

Slightly off topic, but still relevant.

I'm getting a swimming pool for my midlife crisis. Should I get an American or foreign pool?
