"Buying a sports car and worrying about gas mileage is like......

winning $500,000,000 in the lottery and worrying that you will have to pay taxes on it."

When I was a bit younger, I was on a dock and a guy came up to refuel his twin engine (big blocks) supercharged cigar boat. It was AMAZING! Only god knows what something like that costs but for some reason I felt the need to ask him, "Hey what kind of MPG do you get with that thing?" He said the words I will never forget.

"No idea. Because when you have a machine like this you do not worry about things like that"

Saying you don't care about MPG because you drive a Z is like saying you won't pick up the 20 dollar bill that fell out of your pocket because you drive a sports car

Flame away lol

Worrying about your super model date is going to order the lobster.

Worrying about mileage on a sports car is like worrying about gaining muscle at the gym

Buying a sports car and worrying about gas mileage is like buying the extra large combo meal at grease burger and getting a diet coke.

Different format but same concept.

Sports cars are about smiles per gallon, not miles per gallon.
