    Buying A Super Car? We Have One Word: Respect

    Before you get the wrong idea, we don’t mean that we respect you for buying one. Rather, you need to treat it with the respect it deserves. If you don’t do this, you’ll find you run into trouble further down the road. By not treating your supercar with respect it can be dangerous, deadly and worthless. Let’s look at how to respect your car and why this will help you avoid these issues.

    Is It A Vehicle Or A Weapon?

    A funny thing happens when you buy a supercar. You’re no longer buying a car purely as a vehicle. Instead, you’re burning that cash because you want to treat the vehicle as a toy and we completely understand. A fast car can seem like the best toy in the world, but it’s not. Instead, it’s a weapon and you might dismiss that idea but think about it. You’ll own a car that can travel up to 180MPH. That is blisteringly fast, and if you hit a pedestrian at that speed, they’ll be pulverized. If you hit a car at that speed, you can bet your vehicle will explode. But you won’t just take your own life, you’ll take a few other people with you. You see now why you need to treat fast cars with respect?

    Rather than driving at fast speeds on the road, you should really be taking a car like this to the tracks. If you want to drive at fast speeds without worry about repercussions, this is the place to do it.

    You should also think about how you drive the car as well. Don’t forget that at faster speeds your reflexes need to be on point. You can’t risk even the smallest amount of alcohol. It could alter how you handle the vehicle. Highly recommended DWI lawyers advise that the safest amount of alcohol is none at all.

    Maintenance And Cost Management

    The most expensive sports cars range close to a million dollars. You don’t want to lose that money over a few years, do you? But depreciation will take its toll on the value, and by the time you think about selling, that supercar will be worth next to nothing. There is a way to avoid this, and you can do that by keeping it well maintained. That just means cleaning it regularly and making sure that it shines in the sun. If you do this, you won’t lose the value of your car as quickly.

    Of course, there is another way to lose the value of the super car, and that’s due to a crash. Believe it or not, poor maintenance can be the main cause of a crash. You need to make sure that you are watching out for damage on the wheels and looking after the engine. If you do this, you shouldn’t lose your supercar like so many other owners have due to one, seemingly insignificant driving error.

    As you can see then, there are a few reasons why you need to treat a supercar with respect. It’s not just safety that you need to consider. You could also stand to lose a lot of money.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
