Sure, some of the cars looked nice, but I cannot understand why you would build a car to that level, and never use it.
I love this quote, it fits so many platforms.

Very well said. Motorcycles are made to be ridden and to have fun with. I enjoy talking about them but that's why I come here. Talking only gets you so far.
