I recently went to a C&C around me for the first time in like a year and there was a sea of Lamborghinis and a few McLarens. Don't get me wrong, they are fantastic pieces of engineering marvels. I had a Diablo SV and a Viper on my walls as a kid. I love supercars, but I'm curious if it's an age thing or if we're going through a shift (lol) to where since they are relatively common, we're a bit disensitized.

As the exotic designs and materials become easier to produce and manufacture, I stopped getting that jaw-dropping feeling of "holy f. That's a Ferrari!!!"

Is it because I'm not a kid anymore and used to be excited about supercars more, or is it because of a loss of "individuality" due to supercars being more common? I want to see the "hidden gems" now instead.

I somehow ended up spending 25 mins geeking out over an Autozam and then another 20 talking to a high school kid about his clean, 50k original mile '72 Continental he got from his grandma and was sorting it all out by himself since it's been sitting. Poor kid must have felt like an altar boy with the amount of old dudes all around him.

TL;DR: did I think supercars were cooler 15 years ago because I was a kid, or do I think they aren't as cool now because of how much easier it is to produce them and we're desensitized?

*Again, love supercars. For some reason noticed that I stopped looking at them at car shows for some reason.
