OMG I have never understood the logic on that one. Can someone please tell me what the appeal is to having your wheels look like octagons?

Saying you don't care about MPG because you drive a Z is like saying you won't pick up the 20 dollar bill that fell out of your pocket because you drive a sports car

Flame away lol

Worrying about mileage on a sports car is like worrying about gaining muscle at the gym

Worrying about your super model date is going to order the lobster.

Buying a sports car and worrying about gas mileage is like buying the extra large combo meal at grease burger and getting a diet coke.

Different format but same concept.

Sports cars are about smiles per gallon, not miles per gallon.

When I was a bit younger, I was on a dock and a guy came up to refuel his twin engine (big blocks) supercharged cigar boat. It was AMAZING! Only god knows what something like that costs but for some reason I felt the need to ask him, "Hey what kind of MPG do you get with that thing?" He said the words I will never forget.

"No idea. Because when you have a machine like this you do not worry about things like that"
