Buying a super exotic, super expensive car is a goal that most of the people on these forums probably would have had since a very young age. I see it as a massive trophy/reward for their hard work and determination.

Ive wanted a Lamborghini since I was about 8 and I remember the first one I recognised. It was a yellow Diablo back in 1998, driving right by my house. What was so special about this one was that it had 'L plates' on the windshield, 'L plates' are what you have when you are learning to drive in Australia (ages 16-18). Ever since then Ive wanted one, and I have become determined to work towards reaching that goal, which is something that not everyone can do.

It's not just about speed and looks, although they do help, there is definitely the status symbol. You worked very hard to get where you are (usually), so I guess naturally you would be proud, and want to show off your hard work.

I think that this saying applies to super cars; the sum of the super car is more than its parts.
