But if I couldn't drive or didn't have time to drive the hell out of a car I don't think I would enjoy just owning and looking at it. I must not be a collector at heart.
I don't think you're a stick in the mud. This guy is freakin ridiculous. A carerra GT that he's never driven. I couldn't think of a better example of being hopelessly spoiled. I am sure that he appreciates these cars in his own way, but how can you really appreciate a car when you have a dozen others that people would kill for. The only thing I can say in his favor is that he appears to appreciate a nice variety of supercars, not just Italian exotics or older race cars, etc. He does have good taste, I guess that's the best way to put it.
