It's not over kill If you like driving. Caterham is a great car but what do you do when you are driving to Tofino and it starts raining?

As the saying goes, it's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.

Maybe Caterham Super Seven if you're looking for something more raw.

Sure, Aventador can do 0-60mph in 2.7 seconds and go up to 350km/h.
Has blazing fast paddle shift, electronic stability control, premium sound system, expensive leather bucket seats, etc.

But in the end Ferrari and Lambo are simply overkill if you're simply just looking for driving pleasure.
In summary I think a lot of people just buy them for bragging rights, status, luxury, etc.

What Datsun is this? I love the look apart from the stupid wide body, wheels and slamming. I like the lowered look but this whole stance thing is stupid when it goes too low. "My car is so stanced it doesn't work!"
