Speaking of cars. I used to have a powerful fancy coupe. I'm done with that style. Expensive looking cars mostly attract women of a certain kind that I don't like to share my time with.
My next car is likely to have a lot of power under the bonnet while looking discreet enough to do grocery shopping or go to work with.
I'm not into speed either. If you care for your license and for your life you can't really use any powerful car near maximum speed on normal traffic roads.
But acceleration, acceleration! Oh yes, acceleration I crave.
E.g. I'd rather get a humble Golf MK5 R32 and fit it with one of these kits:

For the simple insane pleasure of overtaking where most cars don't have room to overtake. Or to smoke in the face of those smartass types who always have to get in front of other cars that are entering "their" motorway.
I'd even add a "baby on board" sticker on the back of the car for the laughs.
