What is an "insanely fast borderline-supercar" good for when all it does is get you to the next red light faster (unless you take it to the track)? I'm genuinely curious. I found that when I drive (relatively relaxed) I tend to be waiting at the next intersection next to the guy who changed lanes multiple times and raced around others. I'd rather spend my money to upgrade to a bigger boat.
I guess what I don't understand is the point of buying a faster (and I guess in this case insanely fast) car when you're still bound by the rules of the road. Speed limits are everywhere, and even if you accelerate much quicker than me, more often than not we're just going to meet again at the next red light.
Well, meh. It's not my cup of tea, but some people enjoy a powerful, well-handling car, and don't always drive in the city. There are a couple of nice routes around the periphery of the Bay Area where good engine, handling, and brakes can put a smile on car people's faces. The pass between San Mateo and Half Moon Bay comes to mind.
I don't know if one needs an AMG for that, but I can't quite picture Steve Jobs in a Miata.
