I brought it up because I don't want to assume that people are no fu*ks given but also acknowledge I have met some straight up OCP sick people when it comes to car culture, down to losing their mind on a piece of stitching was not perfect on a 30k car from factory. I have been on both sides much like you, so I wanted to just be real that its work to keep a CTR new with red carpets if its a 365 car with kids, namely in winter.I get what you both are saying, but people are complaining the CTR is being priced and allocated like it's a $250,000 exotic car, then at the same time they are treating it as such. It's a Honda Civic, a very special one for sure, and one that I will do my best to keep clean for a long, long time. But I'm not garaging it to be driven on sunny Saturdays like it's a Ferrari. It's not. I'm pretty OCD about things, but this is my daily. Besides my wife's car, I won't be driving anything else, and I hardly ever drive hers or she mine. I did the same with my BMWs and Porsches. Driven all year round, winters too here in New England. All my cars have almost full PPF, ceramic coating, interior fabric protection, etc. And I clean them every few days. And they look damn good years later even when driven year round around here. I'm not going to worry about my CTR getting dirty or whatever. Carpets are easily washed or replaced if need be. I have one kid, and he's learned from an early age there's no eating or drinking in my car, to be clean with his shoes, etc. So I have about 0% stress and 100% fun driving it in all conditions. I realize 45-55K or whatever most are paying for it is no joke - it really is a lot. But it's not going to fall apart if you take care of it. That's just me though, and I realize everyone is different. But just offering a different perspective.
My Mclaren F1 GTR and GMA T50 has been scratched up since I drive them in salt and snow and trying to keep my 13 kids ages 1-13 from spilling flaming hot cheetos in them, it has been challenging. When I am on my yacht commenting here I often reflect on how I should just buy 365 of these cars, one for each day of the week to spread out the wear.
