    Initially yes, and they were probably grinning ear to ear when they first bought it, just like we were all grinning ear to ear when we first drove by ourselves, but once the novelty and excitement wear off it goes back to the meh face.

    It’s like skiing/snowboarding, the first couple times you go down a run your having a great time, but once it doesn’t become a challenge then it loses its excitement and fun. With skiing though theres a lot more elements of variation (trees, bumps, jumps, narrow trails, grade variations, snow conditions …) to keep things interesting whereas driving roads can only vary with curves and grades, both of which are in a much narrower band of variation for safety reasons.

    There’s a reason tons of people spend tons of money every year going skiing but not too many people are renting super cars to go and drive around the hills.

      Perhaps you’re right. Anecdotally, though, I loved every second of the two years I spent in my coupe.
