This is a short discussion about how we can become numb to the cars that are seen all over the internet or in person all the time. What are your thoughts on this?

My rebuttal to the main question... "Are the most mainstream cars the most exciting?"
That's prolly one of the most exciting cars ever made. Its just not as pretty.
I friend of mine makes these on the eastside.

Thank you! And that's exactly right - if people are getting into arguments over what I said, then I did something right.
Actually, the Ariel Atom is a good example because although it's mainstream, you don't see them in person (or the internet) that often. I actually would have to disagree about the looks though, I love the way the Atom looks.

The atoms looks great, its just a work of utility and not a work of art.
I will add two more worthless cents.
There's this really great old song by LCD Soundsystem called Losing My Edge that plays like an homage to how things that started off as being cool eventually escalated into set pieces for a never ending contest into who could drop the most obscure names and be into the most seminal and ancient and often unheard of music.
There's definitely dudes trying to do that with cars now. The net nerds have taken it up a notch. If you're really into some obscure 1970s or 1980s supercar, more power to you. If you're just into it because you know one of the 5 guys with some silly looking car nobody bought that would get blown off the road by a modern Taurus, lame.
You can make fun of me all you want, but im going to look at a mint one of these and see if I can make it my new summer daily driver.
