Quora user Todd Wascom decided a few years back that after forgoing any fun cars for nearly 10 years it was high time to find one. After mulling over his options, he finally decided on a Nissan GT-R. “For the money (at the time) there was literally nothing on the market that could compete with that car in terms of power and handling,” he wrote.
When Wascom and his 10-year-old son arrived at the dealership he said they were treated like royalty and, after proving he could afford the car, took a test drive tearing down Georgia back roads. He drove back to the dealer, bought the car and said he got his first taste of what it’s like to be a D-list celebrity. Porsche owners followed him to gas station to talk about the car, people would stop eating their meal and point to the GT-R when he rolled up, and there was lots of picture-taking wherever he went.
“The sense of accomplishment when you sit in a car like this that you've earned is incredible. You're in the stratosphere. Other men (and women) will slow to admire your car. People lust after it. And the whole time you're in the drivers seat. This is your car. That you bought. With your money,” then adding, “But that fades to a degree.”
2015 it may be but that's some profound fin de siecle shit right there folks.
