Oh yeah, I live in germany. Had to have several 6-8 hour drives on an Autobahn, often going onto several. Had it once that 2 Ferrari's (I think, it was a car that had a quad exhaust in the exact middle of the back that's what I know for sure. Both of em.) Were racing on the left lane (fast lane) And I saw a fucking Micra going as fast as It could to follow an record. I swear, the howling of that Engine was so painfully high it still haunts me in my dreams. It's one thing to not take care of your car, but to mistreat it? That's like asking a human to run at 60km/h. That just cant be healthy. If I remember correctly, that Micra was around 160km/h fast, we were going ~110 and it just shot past us.
Well because most people that have one dont really have done something important or are famous Its like if a rockstar stops in a supercar, people are more likely to talk about him than his car I mean now you have 12 years old youtbers owning several lambos amd ferraris doing fornite videos lol, so who is driving is less than unimportant
I've met Josh many times on Sunday nights and he is one of the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet. Just because people can afford several super cars doesn't make them a DB.
When I see a super car, I respect the car by giving the. 2x the space, respect the driver and the money and time that went into it. Not so long ago I saw a Bugatti and a Lamborghini together, I gave them extra space and kept a certain distance, they actually gave me a thumbs up before revving onto the highway :)

My favorite parts are when hes not talking and speeds up haha AMG GT is one of my dream cars. Honestly alot of things you dont normally think of, especially about being followed home, thats unsettling
xHearthfirex I dunno man. I still remember what a buddy told me years ago about the Porsche 928. He said "it's an awesome car to buy used and own for about 6 months." I asked him why and he said because that's about how long you can own one before it needs maintenance, and then you'll just go broke.
Bad Xerge Evos are just as desirable as some super cars. You’re not a true car enthusiast if you only care for the badge rather than what they can do. Evos will run rings around your Lamborghinis
You said it right. One of the most annoying moment is when they think you are a douchbag and you just want to show off while the truth is that you just want to drive the car because you want to! Period! 🤷🏻♂️😁
I can relate so much to the parking paranoia! I really feel paranoid with my M3, but I felt like that with my 2008 KIA as well. It's just too much love and care for the cars that we have, no matter if it's a supercar or just a simple car
Couldn’t be more accurate. Especially the parking and the tailgating. There’s always that one guy coming up so fast behind you and sticking a foot apart from your car. Can’t even think about downshifting to avoid a crash.
That's why tinted windows is a must. I'm minding my business. And when i spot someone trying to open a door for conversation when I'm not in the mood, i act like I'm having an argument on the phone or bad mood. Lmao
Very good video. It’s refreshing to see someone in a nice car being down to earth and humble and telling it like it is. Also appreciate the sensible approach to understanding driving ability and being responsible. Good stuff!
"Park directly next to you on an empty parking lot" Yeah, because I know you will take the utmost care, to not dent/scratch my car, since that is your biggest fear as well.
Indeed! When there is no empty parking spot, I try to find the most expensive car to park next to, since they usually try to avoid dinging cars as well.
Completely understand the frustrations. Owning a supercar is great, until you need to carry on with normal life. My friend owns an orange Porsche 911 GT3 RS, while not exactly the top ends of supercars , it gathers stupid amounts of attention. Oh and the reason people park next to it is because they take a photo of their horseshit car next to yours to post online " Look what I just parked next to "
You hit on all the elements for sure. I laughed out loud when you mentioned the one thing that always gets me and that’s other drivers lingering in your blind spot. Definitely everyone thinks you’re a douche bag if you drive a supercar. Also, I found other drivers are not willing to wave you in in traffic. First world problems though. Nice job on the video. Well thought out.
Maybe the reason people treat you that way is because everyone gets treated that, they know something you don't, and their boss is a pushy, self entitled, over aggressive, self involved dick. Luxury cars drivers always never use indicators unless they're cutting the queue, tailgate, speed, road hog the overtaking lane, and generally drive like the worst most negligent narcissistic egomaniacs that think they own the road. The guy even admitted that luxury car drivers are a bunch of overcompensating douche bags. What goes around, comes around. Stay safe and good luck!
You nailed a ton of dilemmas not only associated with supercars, but custom cars as well. I especially liked the one about parking in the middle of no man's land, only to return to your car nearly mating with someone else's POS hooptie.
OMG! THE PARKING THING IS SO TRUE! I have made some people mad or irritated by how far I park my car. And I tell them: “Aye! When you get a nice car and you are paying for it yourself you will understand. Ain’t nobody paying for this car except me.” One of my buddies was so cool when I parked far away, he was like: “Aye homie I don’t blame you! This is YOUR car, you can park it where ever you want!” I respect ✊🏽him for that.
Something else that I think you missed off the list; is how low you are as a driver sat in the car and how that impacts your visibility, especially in varying conditions. A friend of mine had a Lotus Elise (not exactly super car but it is low to the ground) and driving at night or in the rain, it's horrible. In the rain, you get way more spray from cars in front splashing up on the windscreen than you would in a standard car, and at night, EVERY car on the road is blinding you when they drive past in the opposite direction. In most normal cars, it's only really taller SUV's, 4x4's, vans and trucks that can sometimes dazzle you, but in a supercar where you're lower down to the ground, normal saloons and hatchbacks will also get onto the list. Especially these days where headlights on newer cars are becoming brighter and more powerful, it is very easy to get dazzled by someone just driving in the opposite direction.

Forgot the fact that people simply want you to fail. When you don't manage to park it exactly in the center of the spot, people will start to come and laugh. Simply because they now have the one thing they are better than you. When mostly parking a supercar is really difficult.
I literaly went to IKEA, thought " I'm going to park far from everyone so my car doesn't get damaged", coming from IKEA I saw that a minivan has ripped my front bumper off. Smh
That point about driving school is super important! Having grown up loving cars and car culture, I've made it a point to first learn the limits of the car first and then go in for owning faster cars. 0-60 in 3 seconds sounds super fun on paper, but if you don't have the skills to control it, your future is pretty much set in stone. Literally.
While not in the same league I just bought my first performance car in a 300bhp Audi s3 and I agree that, while they are great fun, you can’t use all of the power very often and you do get challenged to a drag race quite a lot
Thanks dude, this really helped a lot to understand what life will kinda look like from now on😂 i'm dead ass picking up a v8 R8 this week and i was just curious what to expect
I’m proud to say I’ve gotten the “wanna trade?” comment at the gas station while driving my stunning... focus st. Take a guess what he had, yup- a fiesta st.
As someone who works in EMS 10:00 is spot on. A lot of paramedics,firefighters and police also enjoy driving fast but we do so only where it is safe to do so. The amount of calls we have to go out to in a not very large city, of people wrapping their cars around residential trees because they thought it would be cool to do 120km/h is absurd.
I know exactly what you mean with all of your points, but their two major ones I feel need to be added to this list. First is alway check your vechile before and after you park it, second is always have a way to track and keep an eye on your car.
Fab video. One that really get's me is people purposely driving like a DB around you, i.e. cutting up, not indicating. Generally trying to pull you in to a shouting match.
I ran across a parking lot to save a rolling shopping cart from hitting a guys GT500 supersnake. The owner was just coming out and saw me do it. He was very thankful lol.
He’s right about the unwanted attention, I have a Dodge Charger Hellcat in a unique color and I’m always getting questions and looks and one would think it’s only a fuckin dodge lol
Hi guys! Just wanna give you a tip to know if someone follows you. When you drive and you suspect someone following you, you just have to make 4 left turns(at that point, that would mean you made a complet square) so if the car behind does the same you'll know he is following you because it wouldn't make sens to drive around doing some type of circles and just come back where you were. I hope that helped. Have a nice day!
In terms of unwanted attention, I can only agree. I got an Audi RS7 last year which is by no means a supercar and still looks somewhat normal, yet it turned peoples heads and definitely got me into a lot of conversations. I can only imagine that owning a proper supercar would turn this up to eleven. Now I don't mind the conversations at all, but its important to note that this goes both ways, I've encountered a lot of jealous people aswell, they threatened to sue me because I had the audacity to overtake them (all legitimate ofc), they never actually did sue me because it was pointless, but you really have to have some thick skin to not let people like that ruin your day on occasion! I never expected this to be the case for just a RS7, but people are jealous because of the most stupid shit nowadays...
Look Into The Sun honestly these are a rare steal cause of the electronic systems are so high tech. If someone steals one of these it’s a specialized skill compared to being in the ghetto and breaking into a 1987 Honda Civic and smashing the ignition with a screwdriver
This was enjoyable and a well-considered video. Of course, you don't even have to have a supercar for a lot of this to happen, as I discovered when I became a Corvette owner. (Standard joke: you 'll do a lot of walking when you buy a Corvette because you will have parked so far away from everyone else). My 911-owning friends see a lot of the same things. But I applaud the comment about learning to drive your car properly--high-performance cars should have high-performance drivers.
I agree about the advanced driving courses being mandatory. It always hurts my heart a little to see any super car on the back of a wrecker. Just cuz you have the money does not mean you have the skill
I park next to supercars to protect them... I am always really careful with my doors, and if I see a supercar next to an open space, I park to protect it. I always try to give it as much room as possible :D
This channel will explode very soon as the videos are well made and put together with great content. You just know how to make a video. I don't think I've had my attention grabbed by a video like when watched the cars you've owned video and then your career one. I would like to see more of your life suggestions.
All of the things you said are true, my car isn't a super car but all these things happen. I haven't went on a cruise without any or all of these things happen guaranteed. I've had anything from minivans to civics etc drive beside me speed up to get there, or pass because they want to hear the motor if I speed up. Sit at lights and stare (have very dark windows so they don't see that I see them) and the parking is very annoying and causes anxiety. I park out in the boonies and people will park right beside. E92 M3 not a super car but still attracts
Totally agree with the parking part, some idiots just willing to walk like crazy far to a shopping mall entrance just to park beside my car where there are actually tons of parking spot right in front of the entrance 99% of the time, I am serious I can 100% confirm that it the kind of distance that I am pretty sure no normal people on their sane mind would wanna park or walk.
Doesnt fix the damaged door does it? No matter if you find whoever damaged your car, you will still have to repair it and you wont have your car for multiple weeks.
I'm 29 and own an Audi RS7. I once got out my car at the petrol station and some old man said to me: "Tell your dad he's got a nice car". He refused to believe it was mine lol
Hey dude, thanks for the video. Just a small tip for your audio tracks (while editing): ALWAYS use a tool called "cross-fade" when stitching together your trimmed audio tracks. You hear a blip* every time you cut. Cross fade smoothens each transition and removes this blip* completely. Best, a random guy on RUclips
I have a amg C63S and the negative attention it attracts is ridiculous. So many people wanting to challenge/race me. So many dirty looks, lots of jealousy, people following me around, people making assumptions about me, lots of unwanted police attention. 2 months ago someone ran me off the road and tried to rob me for my car. My amg is still in the shop getting repaired and won’t be out until another 3 months! The other thing about having high end cars is most shops don’t know how to fix them properly and the high end dealerships are assholes with a god complex looking to rip you off at every chance because they figure if do you have money to buy the car then you have the money to pay their ridiculous inflated repair prices. I miss my Honda.
Or a track or a country with few legislation regarding traffic laws. Where I live I can hit 200km/h plus and not get a single cop in my rearview mirror. Negligence is both a curse and a blessing.
Get the most out of what, lol? Top speed? Nah mate, all I need to get the most of my car is a windy cross country road with good scenery. Cars are meant to be felt in corners on good roads, not in great speeds and 3 degree turns that are made for simply going Point A to Point B and would make you sleepy after a while. And guess what? Most countries have the former. Learn to enjoy what you have properly instead of spiting others for no reason.
Yeah no, there is like one or two Autobahn section where you don't have speed limits, most roads are 70km/h and highways are same as everywhere. If you want have fun with your car you go to Italy or Romania.
I like the fact that you should not race in a city. I also drive a fast car and my friends always ask me, why you dont go much faster than allowed? Because with much horse power comes much responsibility.
Why the hell would you get pulled over for revving your engine a bit at a stop light?? If it's about noise, no one pulls over truckers when people ask them to honk. That's ridiculous.
Hey Josh dont mean to tease you in any way but do you notice that you lick your lips everytime you accelerate quickly? just something funny I wanted to point out. was wondering if you do the same before you shoot a ball in a game or something haha. love the content man!
It’s obnoxious when the American muscle car always revs next to me on the freeway wanting to race. Gas is too expensive for me to waste my time on them. 😂😂😂
I don’t own a super car yet but I do own a few really nice sport cars and I love it when random people go up to me and we get to talk about life or just simply they ask questions and I can get to answer them in a way that can add value into their lives.
“I’d like thank that I’m not one of the people who only wanna be seen in a supercar” *Shoots an entire VLOG about owning a supercar for MILLIONS to watch. Lol
You working a job I'd assume. Take the money you earn from _your_ job and buy _your_ car. That's how I'd do it if I had a wife. She doesn't wanna share the cost, then I wont share the care. Your Partner shouldnt be able to tell you what you can and can't buy with the money that you worked your ass off for. But that's just me, I dont know your situation. If that would ruin your marriage you probably shouldnt do that lol.
@@Sam-oc2zw true. Yet, I wont marry a woman that wont let me live my dreams or who doesnt want to live her own dreams. In realm of possibility of course.
In Germany people don't care that mutch for supercars because you can often see them especially in Bavaria. Literally everybody has an BMW, Mercedes, Audi with more that 280hp
Every thing you said is entirely spot on, I've been driving for one month and I just can't believe how many speed up and chase you when they see the car. A lot of pickups want to race you, what's the deal with that? It is a rewarding moment when someone gives you the thumbs up.
Once I was in a parking lot sitting in my old car, and an old couple pulled up next to me. The women dinged my car so hard I thought somebody hit me and then saw the their back door open and touching. So I slowly stuck my head out in a bit of a shock and just looked at her and she said oh no it's ok don't worry. And the husband just looked at me. All she had to say was one word. She didn't even need to emphasize it, just to say it. Sorry. But that was too much for her. And then another guy once did the same but not as hard and he said sorry in the most low effort way imaginable but just because he acknowledged it it didn't upset me at all and I just said sure and carried on. But everytime I thinking about that fucking women telling me it's ok and her husband backing her up by starring me down it pisses me off.
Especially the last bit, personally about 18 years ago I was driving fast in a quiet night with my 1.5L Mirage and a guy behind me was catching up fast, I mean real fast on a straight while I was doing 140km/h, I thought it would be a Supra or something so i decided to go flat out in the upcoming round about, I did 420 degrees of the round about taking the initial first exist (after a full clockwise round), the road was going left over a crest, then i would straighten up for about 400m and then there was a 90 degree left turn, in a dip and a little bit negative camber on the inside due to the elevation change. Now i opened up a significant gap in the round about but as soon as I hit the straight the guy behind me quickly passed me, it was a Ferrari 360 Modena, when he was going into the turn I was quickly catching up with him before he span it. Fortunately he didn't hit anything because the road was widening up quite a lot. I stopped and asked him if everything was ok and then exclaimed that those Miravolutions are fast (Mirage/ Colts converted into an Evolution), I told him it's a FWD 1.5L and the only thing i changed was the dampers, wheels and a front AR bar. Not taking it well from the insult he proceeded to challenge me to a race with out cars on the line. I accepted the challenge provided I would get my other car, he then asked what is my other car and said a stock Mitsubishi Starion from 87 (truth was it wasn't full stock but had some tuning from 180Bhp to 350Bhp, still less powerful than the Ferrari but I was confident), unfortunately he declined me changing cars and insisted i race him in my small 1.5L, I left saying that its a shame that such a car is driven by him and that he is shameless trying to race me on such unequal terms
Yep. I bought a fun car to drive, because it’s a fun car to drive. When, I park; I try to get out and exit the area quickly to avoid conversations…lol. It’s different if I’ve got time to kill…
The attention part is why I love Aston martins, they don’t seem like a higher performance and more luxury car until you drive one. So they don’t attract as many people
Excellent video... This could not be more accurate.. In Atlanta people want to know what you do for a living. Some want to race you (most times in their garage project). You'll be driving down the highway and a car will suddenly race up to you and look to see who the occupant/ driver is. I remember the time I went to Barber Museum and the Security gaurd asked me if was in the music business. Some are happy to see a presumed successful African American car owner. All in all 99% of the drivers are cool/ fun enthusiasts especially Law Enforcement at the gas stations. But remeber some people are gonna have a problem with you (jealousy I guess). People just see an opportunity for access as you have presented an opportunity to get close. Personally, it makes my day to let kids sit in the car knowing that you have changed a life. Anyhoo gr8 video and a fun topic that will never change. Italia 458 2011(current)... prior Cali T.. Porsche 911... Mercedes AMG Gts
It really is annoying people coming up taking pictures, asking me all sorts of questions at the gas station, it goes on and on. You'd think they never saw a Yugo before.
Kim P id call the GT variants “sports cars” much like all variants of 911s. Yes a GT3RS and GT2RS, and GT R, GTpro perform as well as supercars, their DNA is a sports car. Similar to an m3/m4, being a sports coupe or sports sedan and not a true sports car (even though they perform like one)
@@OutlawCoD08 And I dont IMO, its false "advertisement". An AMG is NOT a supercar ergo the title is false and only to get views aka Clickbait. And I thought Josh was better than that.
Kim P the title isn’t false, just look at his car collection video. That’s like saying Lebron can’t talk abt basketball while playing soccer in a video. The AMG GT is the Mercedes response to the Porsche GT2/3RS which is meant to be track cars. As a C63 owner, I own a luxury sports car, while the GT is a super car. Calling it a muscle car is absurd at best.
This happens to me in just my 19 GT350. I couldn't imagine having something better and flashier. The 'racing' bit is always too common. I couldn't tell you how many folks here always want to go 'faster' than you if the car you're in is clearly built for performance.
I laughed when you casually mentioned a stranger sitting on your car and then went into detail about the guy who dangled his kid over your engine cover. I'd be much more sore about the person who sat their ass on my car regardless of what car it was.
It's official the C7 is a super car in Canada. I had a pizza delivery guy stop beside me asking if we could trade, he also offered the 2 pizzas in the back, I said sure this car is stolen! Haha. Today I had someone follow me from the highway to a store I was going to and he came running along to check out the car and to know what brand it was. Even an employee at the dealer asked me what I did for a living.

Couldn’t be more accurate. Especially the parking and the tailgating. There’s always that one guy coming up so fast behind you and sticking a foot apart from your car. Can’t even think about downshifting to avoid a crash.
That's why tinted windows is a must. I'm minding my business. And when i spot someone trying to open a door for conversation when I'm not in the mood, i act like I'm having an argument on the phone or bad mood. Lmao
Owning an R8, I really can relate to this. Especially parking my R8 somewhere in a busy area. Keep up the good work dude!
I want and R8 solely because I heard it was good for daily driving
Very good video.
It’s refreshing to see someone in a nice car being down to earth and humble and telling it like it is. Also appreciate the sensible approach to understanding driving ability and being responsible.
Good stuff!
"Park directly next to you on an empty parking lot"
Yeah, because I know you will take the utmost care, to not dent/scratch my car, since that is your biggest fear as well.
Indeed! When there is no empty parking spot, I try to find the most expensive car to park next to, since they usually try to avoid dinging cars as well.
*_MODERN PROBLEMS REQUIRE MODERN SOLUTIONS_*
Completely understand the frustrations. Owning a supercar is great, until you need to carry on with normal life. My friend owns an orange Porsche 911 GT3 RS, while not exactly the top ends of supercars , it gathers stupid amounts of attention. Oh and the reason people park next to it is because they take a photo of their horseshit car next to yours to post online " Look what I just parked next to "
You hit on all the elements for sure. I laughed out loud when you mentioned the one thing that always gets me and that’s other drivers lingering in your blind spot. Definitely everyone thinks you’re a douche bag if you drive a supercar. Also, I found other drivers are not willing to wave you in in traffic. First world problems though. Nice job on the video. Well thought out.
Maybe the reason people treat you that way is because everyone gets treated that, they know something you don't, and their boss is a pushy, self entitled, over aggressive, self involved dick. Luxury cars drivers always never use indicators unless they're cutting the queue, tailgate, speed, road hog the overtaking lane, and generally drive like the worst most negligent narcissistic egomaniacs that think they own the road. The guy even admitted that luxury car drivers are a bunch of overcompensating douche bags. What goes around, comes around.
Stay safe and good luck!
AMG GTR is one of my all time favorite cars. I love it
You nailed a ton of dilemmas not only associated with supercars, but custom cars as well. I especially liked the one about parking in the middle of no man's land, only to return to your car nearly mating with someone else's POS hooptie.
OMG! THE PARKING THING IS SO TRUE! I have made some people mad or irritated by how far I park my car. And I tell them: “Aye! When you get a nice car and you are paying for it yourself you will understand. Ain’t nobody paying for this car except me.”
One of my buddies was so cool when I parked far away, he was like: “Aye homie I don’t blame you! This is YOUR car, you can park it where ever you want!” I respect ✊🏽him for that.
I own an amg gtr in solarbeam yellow, everything you said is so on point 😂
Neil L u sure?
Joggl jones about?
Neil L it‘s the color bro 😂
Got the same color on my GT R, but it seems the GT R in states don‘t have buckets seats!?!
dream car 🤤
"Im a waste management consultant"
Something else that I think you missed off the list; is how low you are as a driver sat in the car and how that impacts your visibility, especially in varying conditions. A friend of mine had a Lotus Elise (not exactly super car but it is low to the ground) and driving at night or in the rain, it's horrible. In the rain, you get way more spray from cars in front splashing up on the windscreen than you would in a standard car, and at night, EVERY car on the road is blinding you when they drive past in the opposite direction. In most normal cars, it's only really taller SUV's, 4x4's, vans and trucks that can sometimes dazzle you, but in a supercar where you're lower down to the ground, normal saloons and hatchbacks will also get onto the list. Especially these days where headlights on newer cars are becoming brighter and more powerful, it is very easy to get dazzled by someone just driving in the opposite direction.
Forgot the fact that people simply want you to fail. When you don't manage to park it exactly in the center of the spot, people will start to come and laugh. Simply because they now have the one thing they are better than you. When mostly parking a supercar is really difficult.
I literaly went to IKEA, thought " I'm going to park far from everyone so my car doesn't get damaged", coming from IKEA I saw that a minivan has ripped my front bumper off. Smh
slap an acc sticker on it you get 5hp and unlimited amount of grip
That point about driving school is super important! Having grown up loving cars and car culture, I've made it a point to first learn the limits of the car first and then go in for owning faster cars. 0-60 in 3 seconds sounds super fun on paper, but if you don't have the skills to control it, your future is pretty much set in stone. Literally.
While not in the same league I just bought my first performance car in a 300bhp Audi s3 and I agree that, while they are great fun, you can’t use all of the power very often and you do get challenged to a drag race quite a lot
Thanks dude, this really helped a lot to understand what life will kinda look like from now on😂 i'm dead ass picking up a v8 R8 this week and i was just curious what to expect
You enjoying it?
I’m proud to say I’ve gotten the “wanna trade?” comment at the gas station while driving my stunning... focus st. Take a guess what he had, yup- a fiesta st.
As someone who works in EMS 10:00 is spot on. A lot of paramedics,firefighters and police also enjoy driving fast but we do so only where it is safe to do so. The amount of calls we have to go out to in a not very large city, of people wrapping their cars around residential trees because they thought it would be cool to do 120km/h is absurd.
I know exactly what you mean with all of your points, but their two major ones I feel need to be added to this list. First is alway check your vechile before and after you park it, second is always have a way to track and keep an eye on your car.
Yo that’s crazy, my buddy knows you in real life and was telling me about your soccer review channel, I didn’t realize this was you. 🙂
What they didn't tell me when I bought mine was that other drivers would get into wrecks while staring at mine 😂😂😂😂😂.
Fab video. One that really get's me is people purposely driving like a DB around you, i.e. cutting up, not indicating. Generally trying to pull you in to a shouting match.
I ran across a parking lot to save a rolling shopping cart from hitting a guys GT500 supersnake. The owner was just coming out and saw me do it. He was very thankful lol.
He’s right about the unwanted attention, I have a Dodge Charger Hellcat in a unique color and I’m always getting questions and looks and one would think it’s only a fuckin dodge lol
But its that whine when you accelerate
Why would people not thinks it's a dodge if it just has a unique color
Ha! “With great power, comes great responsibility.”
-Uncle Ben (Spider Man) funny! But so true.
Hi guys! Just wanna give you a tip to know if someone follows you. When you drive and you suspect someone following you, you just have to make 4 left turns(at that point, that would mean you made a complet square) so if the car behind does the same you'll know he is following you because it wouldn't make sens to drive around doing some type of circles and just come back where you were. I hope that helped. Have a nice day!
In terms of unwanted attention, I can only agree. I got an Audi RS7 last year which is by no means a supercar and still looks somewhat normal, yet it turned peoples heads and definitely got me into a lot of conversations. I can only imagine that owning a proper supercar would turn this up to eleven. Now I don't mind the conversations at all, but its important to note that this goes both ways, I've encountered a lot of jealous people aswell, they threatened to sue me because I had the audacity to overtake them (all legitimate ofc), they never actually did sue me because it was pointless, but you really have to have some thick skin to not let people like that ruin your day on occasion! I never expected this to be the case for just a RS7, but people are jealous because of the most stupid shit nowadays...
Do you have a lot of problems regarding thieves or gangs that want to steal your car?
As a super car owner, no. Because you tend to avoid those kind of neighborhoods.
cars like this are actually kinda rare to be stole, because they are really uncommon
Stealing a bright green Mercedes seems like a really shitty idea honestly.
Look Into The Sun honestly these are a rare steal cause of the electronic systems are so high tech. If someone steals one of these it’s a specialized skill compared to being in the ghetto and breaking into a 1987 Honda Civic and smashing the ignition with a screwdriver
@@maadfx8511 it’s stole my guy ; stealed is not a word
They always ask who’s a good boi, not howd a good boi lol
This was enjoyable and a well-considered video. Of course, you don't even have to have a supercar for a lot of this to happen, as I discovered when I became a Corvette owner. (Standard joke: you 'll do a lot of walking when you buy a Corvette because you will have parked so far away from everyone else). My 911-owning friends see a lot of the same things. But I applaud the comment about learning to drive your car properly--high-performance cars should have high-performance drivers.
I agree about the advanced driving courses being mandatory. It always hurts my heart a little to see any super car on the back of a wrecker. Just cuz you have the money does not mean you have the skill
If I see someone with a nice car: I do thumbs up und say: have a nice day ¯\(ツ)/¯ that’s it. Sorry for my bad English
This vid was awesome your videos are truly entertaining I would love for you to respond to this comment I watch all the time
People following you home?? Now that’s a next level of creepy
I park next to supercars to protect them... I am always really careful with my doors, and if I see a supercar next to an open space, I park to protect it. I always try to give it as much room as possible :D
This channel will explode very soon as the videos are well made and put together with great content. You just know how to make a video. I don't think I've had my attention grabbed by a video like when watched the cars you've owned video and then your career one.
I would like to see more of your life suggestions.
I don't even have a supercar and not even planning to buy a supercar why am I watching this..
Lol same here
Lol same here
Haha same here
All of the things you said are true, my car isn't a super car but all these things happen. I haven't went on a cruise without any or all of these things happen guaranteed.
I've had anything from minivans to civics etc drive beside me speed up to get there, or pass because they want to hear the motor if I speed up. Sit at lights and stare (have very dark windows so they don't see that I see them) and the parking is very annoying and causes anxiety. I park out in the boonies and people will park right beside.
E92 M3 not a super car but still attracts
Totally agree with the parking part, some idiots just willing to walk like crazy far to a shopping mall entrance just to park beside my car where there are actually tons of parking spot right in front of the entrance 99% of the time, I am serious I can 100% confirm that it the kind of distance that I am pretty sure no normal people on their sane mind would wanna park or walk.
Just set up a camera every time you park if you’re so paranoid hahahah
Doesnt fix the damaged door does it? No matter if you find whoever damaged your car, you will still have to repair it and you wont have your car for multiple weeks.
I knew I recognized you. You’re josh from the soccer cleat review guy. I used to watch that channel religiously
Thomas Ashby is it actually the same dude!? Damn ahhaha
WTF is it? I was thinking that too?!?!
I'm 29 and own an Audi RS7. I once got out my car at the petrol station and some old man said to me: "Tell your dad he's got a nice car". He refused to believe it was mine lol
I feel you pain, I've had similar puzzled reactions and responses with my AMG, truly annoying. I guess that's just jealousy for you.
Hey dude, thanks for the video. Just a small tip for your audio tracks (while editing): ALWAYS use a tool called "cross-fade" when stitching together your trimmed audio tracks. You hear a blip* every time you cut. Cross fade smoothens each transition and removes this blip* completely.
Best,
a random guy on RUclips
Great car man, love the GTR 🔥
Bruh, most of those happenes to me daily and all I got is a nasty sounding LS swapped saturn sky 🤷♂️🤣
Notice how he never looks away from the road more then 1 or 1.5 seacounds at a time.
Wow its almost like he was driving when he made this video
I have a amg C63S and the negative attention it attracts is ridiculous. So many people wanting to challenge/race me. So many dirty looks, lots of jealousy, people following me around, people making assumptions about me, lots of unwanted police attention. 2 months ago someone ran me off the road and tried to rob me for my car. My amg is still in the shop getting repaired and won’t be out until another 3 months! The other thing about having high end cars is most shops don’t know how to fix them properly and the high end dealerships are assholes with a god complex looking to rip you off at every chance because they figure if do you have money to buy the car then you have the money to pay their ridiculous inflated repair prices. I miss my Honda.
You will never gonna get the most out of car except in Germany
🇩🇪
Or a track or a country with few legislation regarding traffic laws. Where I live I can hit 200km/h plus and not get a single cop in my rearview mirror. Negligence is both a curse and a blessing.
Get the most out of what, lol? Top speed? Nah mate, all I need to get the most of my car is a windy cross country road with good scenery. Cars are meant to be felt in corners on good roads, not in great speeds and 3 degree turns that are made for simply going Point A to Point B and would make you sleepy after a while. And guess what? Most countries have the former. Learn to enjoy what you have properly instead of spiting others for no reason.
Yeah no, there is like one or two Autobahn section where you don't have speed limits, most roads are 70km/h and highways are same as everywhere. If you want have fun with your car you go to Italy or Romania.
wykydytron until carabinieri shows up😂
This video needs more Nike ACC technology, too much drip Josh
I like the fact that you should not race in a city. I also drive a fast car and my friends always ask me, why you dont go much faster than allowed? Because with much horse power comes much responsibility.
Why the hell would you get pulled over for revving your engine a bit at a stop light?? If it's about noise, no one pulls over truckers when people ask them to honk. That's ridiculous.
Hey Josh dont mean to tease you in any way but do you notice that you lick your lips everytime you accelerate quickly? just something funny I wanted to point out. was wondering if you do the same before you shoot a ball in a game or something haha. love the content man!
6:01 - 6:11 why people drive fast cars :-)
It’s obnoxious when the American muscle car always revs next to me on the freeway wanting to race. Gas is too expensive for me to waste my time on them. 😂😂😂
I don’t own a super car yet but I do own a few really nice sport cars and I love it when random people go up to me and we get to talk about life or just simply they ask questions and I can get to answer them in a way that can add value into their lives.
“I’d like thank that I’m not one of the people who only wanna be seen in a supercar”
*Shoots an entire VLOG about owning a supercar for MILLIONS to watch. Lol
I want to buy a super car so bad my wife isn't trying to hear that lol
You working a job I'd assume. Take the money you earn from _your_ job and buy _your_ car. That's how I'd do it if I had a wife. She doesn't wanna share the cost, then I wont share the care. Your Partner shouldnt be able to tell you what you can and can't buy with the money that you worked your ass off for. But that's just me, I dont know your situation. If that would ruin your marriage you probably shouldnt do that lol.
@@KryptoKn8 I bet you are not married. Truly spoken like someone with zero experience with marriage lol
@@Sam-oc2zw true. Yet, I wont marry a woman that wont let me live my dreams or who doesnt want to live her own dreams. In realm of possibility of course.
Happy wife, happy life.
In Germany people don't care that mutch for supercars because you can often see them especially in Bavaria. Literally everybody has an BMW, Mercedes, Audi with more that 280hp
Every thing you said is entirely spot on, I've been driving for one month and I just can't believe how many speed up and chase you when they see the car. A lot of pickups want to race you, what's the deal with that? It is a rewarding moment when someone gives you the thumbs up.
The gears semes so short. What's your top speed in this gtr?
It's a nine speed auto so ofc it's short. more effective, on top speed however it's 198 mph, or 318km/h.
@@flaskepost1989 aw no is not a 9 speeds
Once I was in a parking lot sitting in my old car, and an old couple pulled up next to me. The women dinged my car so hard I thought somebody hit me and then saw the their back door open and touching. So I slowly stuck my head out in a bit of a shock and just looked at her and she said oh no it's ok don't worry. And the husband just looked at me. All she had to say was one word. She didn't even need to emphasize it, just to say it. Sorry. But that was too much for her. And then another guy once did the same but not as hard and he said sorry in the most low effort way imaginable but just because he acknowledged it it didn't upset me at all and I just said sure and carried on. But everytime I thinking about that fucking women telling me it's ok and her husband backing her up by starring me down it pisses me off.
What about when you come out of the store and someone is parked right next to you when you parked all the way in the back? 😂😂
Sports cars are like a love hate relationship, love the drive, hate the maintenance and repairs
Dude I didn't know you where rich 😯
He's not showing off🤣
this guy out here talking like we can afford these cars smh
GANTiwnl keep thinking like this and you’ll never buy one!

Poor fuck I could buy 5 of those if I wanted too
@@theoneandonly2359 big 🧢 but keep dreaming lmao
Especially the last bit, personally about 18 years ago I was driving fast in a quiet night with my 1.5L Mirage and a guy behind me was catching up fast, I mean real fast on a straight while I was doing 140km/h, I thought it would be a Supra or something so i decided to go flat out in the upcoming round about, I did 420 degrees of the round about taking the initial first exist (after a full clockwise round), the road was going left over a crest, then i would straighten up for about 400m and then there was a 90 degree left turn, in a dip and a little bit negative camber on the inside due to the elevation change. Now i opened up a significant gap in the round about but as soon as I hit the straight the guy behind me quickly passed me, it was a Ferrari 360 Modena, when he was going into the turn I was quickly catching up with him before he span it. Fortunately he didn't hit anything because the road was widening up quite a lot. I stopped and asked him if everything was ok and then exclaimed that those Miravolutions are fast (Mirage/ Colts converted into an Evolution), I told him it's a FWD 1.5L and the only thing i changed was the dampers, wheels and a front AR bar. Not taking it well from the insult he proceeded to challenge me to a race with out cars on the line. I accepted the challenge provided I would get my other car, he then asked what is my other car and said a stock Mitsubishi Starion from 87 (truth was it wasn't full stock but had some tuning from 180Bhp to 350Bhp, still less powerful than the Ferrari but I was confident), unfortunately he declined me changing cars and insisted i race him in my small 1.5L, I left saying that its a shame that such a car is driven by him and that he is shameless trying to race me on such unequal terms
Yep. I bought a fun car to drive, because it’s a fun car to drive. When, I park; I try to get out and exit the area quickly to avoid conversations…lol. It’s different if I’ve got time to kill…
The attention part is why I love Aston martins, they don’t seem like a higher performance and more luxury car until you drive one. So they don’t attract as many people
Yoo do gold digger vids🤣
Excellent video... This could not be more accurate.. In Atlanta people want to know what you do for a living. Some want to race you (most times in their garage project). You'll be driving down the highway and a car will suddenly race up to you and look to see who the occupant/ driver is. I remember the time I went to Barber Museum and the Security gaurd asked me if was in the music business. Some are happy to see a presumed successful African American car owner. All in all 99% of the drivers are cool/ fun enthusiasts especially Law Enforcement at the gas stations. But remeber some people are gonna have a problem with you (jealousy I guess). People just see an opportunity for access as you have presented an opportunity to get close. Personally, it makes my day to let kids sit in the car knowing that you have changed a life. Anyhoo gr8 video and a fun topic that will never change.
Italia 458 2011(current)... prior Cali T.. Porsche 911... Mercedes AMG Gts
It really is annoying people coming up taking pictures, asking me all sorts of questions at the gas station, it goes on and on. You'd think they never saw a Yugo before.
An AMG have never been considered a supercar though. Its a european musclecar.
Kim P id call the GT variants “sports cars” much like all variants of 911s. Yes a GT3RS and GT2RS, and GT R, GTpro perform as well as supercars, their DNA is a sports car. Similar to an m3/m4, being a sports coupe or sports sedan and not a true sports car (even though they perform like one)
KosmicHaynerRacingTeam that makes a lot of sense
Kim P that’s a pretty dumb comment imo
@@OutlawCoD08 And I dont IMO, its false "advertisement". An AMG is NOT a supercar ergo the title is false and only to get views aka Clickbait. And I thought Josh was better than that.
Kim P the title isn’t false, just look at his car collection video. That’s like saying Lebron can’t talk abt basketball while playing soccer in a video. The AMG GT is the Mercedes response to the Porsche GT2/3RS which is meant to be track cars. As a C63 owner, I own a luxury sports car, while the GT is a super car. Calling it a muscle car is absurd at best.
This happens to me in just my 19 GT350. I couldn't imagine having something better and flashier. The 'racing' bit is always too common. I couldn't tell you how many folks here always want to go 'faster' than you if the car you're in is clearly built for performance.
I laughed when you casually mentioned a stranger sitting on your car and then went into detail about the guy who dangled his kid over your engine cover. I'd be much more sore about the person who sat their ass on my car regardless of what car it was.
It's official the C7 is a super car in Canada. I had a pizza delivery guy stop beside me asking if we could trade, he also offered the 2 pizzas in the back, I said sure this car is stolen! Haha. Today I had someone follow me from the highway to a store I was going to and he came running along to check out the car and to know what brand it was. Even an employee at the dealer asked me what I did for a living.
