The folly of having a sportscar in Holland

Driving a sports car is one of my favorite things to do. Big growling engine, exhilarating speed, and everyone around you looking jealous. Too bad those cars are hugely expensive.

Not too mention that owning one proves to be more of a headache than you realize. You can't just park it anywhere... well, you could, but you would spend a ton on fixing scratches and bumps. I couldn't just leave the car anywhere without it getting broken into. The gas prices are ridiculous, and if you would drive one economically, that would defeat the purpose of having sports car in the first place.

You can't drive a sports car really fast in Holland either. There are few roads that you can really drive fast on, and even if you can, you would have to bob and weave between all the traffic. Just pushing the pedal a little bit, puts you somewhere to the back of a truck.

And if you consider renting instead of owning... well, it's pretty much like paying for sex. You know the car has been driven around before, you pay an insubordinate amount of cash for thirty minutes, and when you're done, you're left broken by the car's stiffness.
