LoL - it's all a matter of perspective. Don't forget, Nick lives in La Jolla, where even the gardeners can afford a Porsche
Actually I'm astonished how "class conscious" some US guys are - I thought the original idea of the US was to overcome the British class system
In terms of car enthusiasm I actually have more respect for an "average guy" having fun on the road with a 5 y/o Miata than for the snobs showing off in their "exotics".
But sometimes it's fun seeing prejudices turn into reality:
If you go to the Ring on a sunny weekend you can spot quite some really nice F-cars. The only strange thing is that almost all of them are parked all day long in front of the track's entry without doing one single lap - the drivers just enjoy the poor masses admiring (and photographing) their fine cars
Just for the record - I like Ferraris a lot (and hope that those parking lot posers represent a minority of F-owners).
Also there is no doubt, that P-cars are ridiculously inexpensive in the US (compared to other markets). For the base price of a GT3 (which definitely is a brilliant gem in the sportscar world) you get a fully specced CaymanS in Germany
But I'm not envious - if more people can enjoy their Porsche in the US, I'm happy for them
One more thing: I recall Nick accusing Porsche of making obscene profits selling their cars to blinded Porsche-lovers.
But if at the same time these fine cars are affordable for the average guys in the US, it must be a really brilliant business concept. Huge profits make the manufacturer happy, low price tags make the customer happy - a perfect win-win scenario
Capitalism at it's best - invented in "socialist" Germany
