I’m an enthusiast with no kids (and a vasectomy to make sure it stays that way) and I’ve driven both around a track. Glad to have done it once, but I’m not in any hurry to do it again. Wouldn’t buy either one over my Miata.
Yeah, that’s my thought, though I have a kid. Doesn’t really matter if I just want to rent one to have fun driving for a bit (other than if she’d find it cool to ride in one). Would be fun for a bit and then a huge liability to own one. Especially with how much attention they’d get. You’d get random butt prints from assholes taking pictures with it, not to mention some others driving nearby will get more aggressive when they see what you’re driving, making accidents more likely. Not to mention everything about it will be very expensive.
And, at least based on video games, you’d barely ever get out of 1st or 2nd gear in normal driving unless you want to risk getting it seized (or worse) for excessive speeding.
Also, make one mistake with the throttle and a video of you spinning into a curb or something could go viral if it’s one of the rear drive supercars.
If we’re being pedantic, the average man has most of two testicles, and the average woman most of two breasts. The average human will have almost one of each :p
Perhaps I came off as too hostile. I read your comment and I thought it was potentially harmful and I’m incredibly depressed, so I wrote a hasty sniping response. I tend to think of things said as their effects in aggregate rather than the virtue of the person saying it.
I’m also bi and arguably aromantic. And intend to remain childfree.
Yeah, it’s rather normal to have a wife and progeny, most people do, that’s what normal means. You seem to be fishing for outrage, but you are missing that normal does not imply good, and not normal does not mean bad. Being astoundingly beautiful is not normal, but it’s commonly seen as positive.

Supercars are vastly overrated.
Miata Is Always The Answer

“Wife and a kid” = normal life.
hmmmm.

I mean it was pretty strongly implied but ok

Normal mainly implies average.
The average person has a spouse and a kid. So the statement is not wrong.
Doesn’t mean you can’t have a normal life without a wife or a kid. It just doesn’t mean average then.
As there are substantially fewer polygamists than there are single people, the average person has a fraction of a spouse.

wait. so normal means average, or normal does not mean average?
Its a normative statement. It contributes to alienating people without wives or kids.

Do you consider having a wife or a kid not normal?
I consider it normative to suggest that such is “normal” and suggests not having a wife or kid(s) as “abnormal”. At least by implication.
