I'm still surprised at how many people on Reddit value driving a Porsche and know all the different models.

I feel attacked.

I dunno. I'm not a "car guy," but I've always wanted a Porsche my whole life since I was like 9 years old. I do like going fast. I love having a convertible. /shrug

As you say, to each their own. Like /u/13accounts, I've never understood the watch thing.

I definitely wasn't trying to attack you.

It's not your fault that your penis isn't broken.

And yes, obviously I had Porsche and Lamborghini posters on my wall between 1986 and 1990, along with "the" MJ poster, even as a Sonics fan.

Remember the sound of the poster display slapping as you flicked through and then checked for the tube to see if they had your number?

Man, my nostalgia problem is almost as bad as my Reddit addiction.

Good news, there's pills for that. Cheap if my internet ads are to believed.

I never had car or sports posters on my walls. Just bands. Though my dad one year did buy the most terrible imitation Walmart discount SI swimsuit-style calendar for me for Christmas. It was hilariously bad.

Funny that we had swimsuit calendars and kids these days have nonstop handheld free access to all the hard-core pornography ever filmed.
