No, in fact they should not. Mclaren supplies ECU's for F1 teams, who does Bosche supply exactly? ECU's for some production road cars? You think that is state of the art technology?

I really hate these one line unsubstantiated statements on forums.

Precisely. Not to mention the bastardization of the name of Bruce McLaren, who is arguably the most famous New Zealander in history.

Cute for a joke. Totally impossible in real life. Even for Apple.

I'd love to hear your opinion on what a "one percenter" means to you. Because the top one percent of income earners in the world can afford a McLaren and any other car they'd wish to purchase. But please, for me my entertainment elaborate your thoughts.

Ack! Forgot about him!

OK: Second-most famous New Zealander. I did say 'arguably' in case I forgot the Peter Jacksons of the world ...

LOL. I was being nice and limiting the 1% criteria to just the U.S., but now you think somehow the top 1% of earners in the world "afford a McLaren and any other car they'd wish to purchase?" All those ballers worldwide making the equivalent to $16/hr. Yeah...that makes sense.

Poor people think the "top 1%" is some ultra exclusive group, but we're a lot poorer than you were convinced to believe.

With this saying the 1%'s in the U.S. make over $420k a year, http://money.cnn.com/calculator/pf/income-rank/

for most places in the U.S., 1%'s could afford a McLaren. Make $420k, bring home $250k, live on $200k and put $50k a year into a car. Not too hard to get the $200k for the "cheap" ones. Wouldn't necessarily make it a good decision for many but they could afford it.

I disagree on the "any car" and I disagree on the 1%'s in the world, looks like they are making above about $32k a year.

My buddy owned a McLaren. Had a one bedroom apartment and was single. Shared the monthly payment with a friend.

They definitely weren't in the 1%.

In this day and age, money is cheap and you can finance the crap out of anything. It's not impressive whatsoever to drive a "baller" car.
