maybe in SF (or US in general, I don't know). around most of Europe flashy loud cars are still cool, fortunately.
- arjunnarayan 14y agoIn general, you should be careful in choosing which set of girls you want to impress.
- zalew 14y agopersonally I don't need material stuff to impress one. tesla S is impressive for the technological hipster crowd, yet it's the kind of ride you won't notice in the parking lot in a few years, and you won't fool anybody - those cars aren't exactly pussy-magnets.
- Adirael 14y agoI guess it depends on the country. Rare stuff sells. Depends on the type of person too. I've lived in Marbella and there's a lot of Ferraris and really expensive cars there, almost more than normal utility cars. Now when I see a red Ferrari is like: oh nice, you've got the same car every rich guy has in the same fucking color, good for you!
- zalew 14y agoI remember when Clarkson wrote about his visit to Monaco, where even the most hi-end cars are so common, that Bugatti-Lambo-Rolls owners wanted to buy on the spot the TVR Tuscan he drove by, just because nobody else had one. still, a TVR is exotic and ridiculous enough to be in demand for high-rollers. the Tesla S, while technologically cool (Fisker Karma seems more impressive IMO), doesn't fit this definition. a Tesla Roadster is probably another story.
