China has had pigments for centuries. WTF are you on about here?
Too much reasonability to own that type of car. For that kind of money you can have several nice cars and not make yourself a target for every skummy squeegee kid, Jealous Johnny or Greedy Grabby Skank. Especially these days. A few years ago, a guy checked into a Montreal Hotel with his rare V12 BMW and handed it over to a valet. Later in the middle of the night the kid was caught driving the car at 200 KPH on the Ville Marie Expressway ( underground tunnel that cuts through downtown Montreal )
I bought my first bona fide sports car last year. It's crazy the response you get, it's night and day. When you walk on the street you're a nobody and people will treat you as such, but in the car, the respect is palpable. I ended up getting a puncture in one of my tires when they were barely broken in and I had to replace both tires on the same axle even though the other tire was perfectly fine and basically brand new. It was then that it really dawned on me how much money it would take to maintain an exotic car like a Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, or Ford GT. For example, if I had a Lamborghini and I punctured a tire I would have to replace all four tires since it's an all-wheel drive vehicle. That's about $20,000 for all new tires and service just because you had a nail in one tire!

Some Supercars are more civilized than others with maintenance costs.
Bit of a hobby to figure all that out but fun.
Lots of dope little communities that support each other with info and such as well.
You are a genius who knows all the answers to all topics, so answer your question.
I have Michelin Pilot Sport summer tires on my vehicle. Holy shit they're expensive to replace. I have a bulge in one of my tires right now so it needs replaced. Last summer I had to replace another one because a nail got stuck in the sidewall.
That’s overkill. Don’t fall for that dumb advice.
So what bona fide sports car did you buy?
Imagine if you had to throw in a rim to match with the two tire replacements.
I have an affliction that prevents me from buying the type of car that depreciates quickly, cost a fortune to maintain and insure. The affliction is that I can take the money for the rim and tire replacement, insurance, maintenance and depreciation and triple it every year on the stock market. ( and every year after that ) There is nothing wrong with a slightly higher end car instead of a ultra high end car that might bankrupt you.
BTW - Not everyone looks at the ultra high end car driver and gives palpable respect. Some want to put a bullet through his head to send you driving into a brick wall.
If you can triple your money every year you must be the richest person on earth so maybe you should be driving an ultra high end car
Let's see now:
$1, $3, $9, $27, $81, $243....
Good for you. You can buy a few tanks of gas about now.....
