Note to self: You need some better friends.
But in all seriousness: I don't understand how someone who is already a recreational cyclist -- at any age, any demographic, any income level -- can discover sports cars as a hobby and think "whoa, now
this is the shiznit!" Other than the endorphin rush, the intersection set of Boxes Checked is similar only in the most superfluous way. I mean, yeah, I get the Geek Out On Gear aspect, and the COLLECT ALL SEVEN! aspect, and the Go Fast Relative To Others Nearby aspect... but the differences seem so profound to me that I simply can't wrap my head around how one could be a
substitute for the other.
Of course, with enough free time I guess one could enjoy
both hobbies...
