Caption: “Expensive sports car”

lol a C6 vette is not expensive in the context of sports cars

It's certainly not a luxury sports car, but in the current state of things, I'd say all sports cars are expense as they're rarely owned or operated as a primary daily drive vehicle. Owning a second car for fun certainly sounds expensive to me.

A sports car is a car intended to be used for sporting purposes, like a sporting rifle. The exact sport doesn't need to be specified, because you can use it for several different kinds of sport.

Well, LaCrosse, apparently.. for Buick anyway.

(Ok ok so it’s not a sports-car, but it IS a sports car ~_^)

Would you claim the second an athlete leaves the field they're no longer an athlete?

"Sports" cars are tuned towards their racing counterparts. Auto racing is a sport. We don't know if that owner does autocross, probably not, but that is classified as a Sports Car regardless of anything else.

Motorsport. If break dance can be a sport why not this?

What term would you want to use for a fast, light, high performance vehicle instead?

Inefficient glass cannons

As a fellow Corvette owner, the Jeep driver is doing God's work!

As a pedestrian, that Jeep driver is as moronic as that that corvette
