Things You Need to Know Before Buying a Porsche 911
For over 50 years, the make and model duo have served as quintessentials among the supercar form. While they may not have been dreamed up into this concept from the start, Porsche (and the 911 itself) have undergone a wide variety of adaptations; like the Carrera series, or the GTR, they have attempted to infect the market at whichever hairpin turn, or semi-circular redirection it has taken over the years. That's because Porsche has been in the business for quite some time, their inception having initiated in the creation of heavy tanks and other military vehicles for which eventually led to the Tiger I and II, two of the fiercest war machines ever designed and the most terrifying adversary to face in open combat during WWII. Even amid these productions, Porsche was having a field day in the worlds of engineering and driving technology.

Biggest Car Collectors in Hip-Hop
Honestly, if I owned super exotic and expensive cars, I'd treat them way better than humans. They can practically be your child, that's how much you'd cherish a pricy sports car. As much as the majority of us would need to sell an organ or two for a Lambo, we simply admire these cars through our computer screens.

Things You Didn't Know About Buying A McLaren
The futuristic, obnoxiously loud machines known within the industry as "hypercars" have, in all intents and purposes, come a very long way. The McLaren P1 was introduced way back in 2012, but the company as a whole was first rendered into existence as of 1985, known then as McLaren Cars, and was formally founded in 2010 as McLaren Automotive.

My own parents bought their first brand new car together a little before I was born, and brought me home from the hospital in it. Then, 17 years later, when my senior year of high school came around and I first received my driver's license, guess what I drove to school every day? You guessed it, that's same old car.
