Totally legit human desire.
Not all that necessary though. When I had my Porsche I found it quite futile when trying to pick up women. I'd be in the bar, my Porsche sitting outside in the parking lot...no assistance to my game. Now I drive a 2005 Hyundai but have the hottest girlfriend I've ever had.
While I was in high school, I got a classmate who basically drove a Testarossa to school everyday. One time, he got a suspension from school for a week, and was forced by his parents to attend a public school for a few days. Not surprisingly, his Testarossa got smashed up and his face punched in on the first day.
There is also this dad who would show up occasionally in his Lotus Esprit to pick up his daughter from school. One time he showed up with a girl who looked and dressed younger than his daughter.
"Hey, I didn't know that you had a sister?"
"NO, that's my new mom."
"Oh..."
Driving a classy antique and people might give you a thumbs up and chitchat with you. Driving a Countach to school or to work and people might give you the finger and gossip behind your back. Might as well get a chauffeur who can double as bodyguard, which I do see quite a few people do in real life.
