I don't like 
One thing that I realized as I was last weekend in 2 events (the Porsche guys breakfast and the Lamborghini run to the keys, In Miami FL) ... is that today there's SO MUCH BLING it's insane.
Anything under 17" for wheels is "tinny" .. the "MUST" is to have is $5K+6K wheels with lots of chrome or CF and -no less than 19"- ... lots of ULTRA colors, carbon, wings, chrome (YIKES but you see a lot of italian cars with chrome, which is an absurd) ... excessive amount of bling it is lately getting on my nerves I SWEAR, i love the old ferraris/exotics, the nice simple slick shapes, even modern stock Ferraris / Lambos .. as well I LOVE modern ultra cars, but people put so much stuff in their exotic/super/ultra cars is INSANE ....
Of course I absolutely love cars and i don't "hate" or don't appreciate the passion put in this crazy cars, but i had this thoughts lately, maybe some people's perceptions are getting a bit confused in this era of TOTAL excess .... OEM it's becoming "boring" .... how weird since a Bentley GT looks amazing already stock.

We're discussing two mainstream, readily available production cars (that have been molested horribly) when there is this..
Who cares about the Bentley or AM? They are just another couple of nice cars subjected to faddish tuning trends (matte finishes, ricey kits that are justified because of price tag, etc)... I say more of the XJ220 please.
