+1 I think you should get a "beater". I have 1 beater that blends pretty well and 1sporty car that does not. Although I have done sessions in the sporty car, I always am more nervous and park it further away or around the corner. Without knowing what you drive, mongs should assume it's something with very high visibility. Yes, that creates a risk if people you know associate that car with you. People get sunk for all kinds of stupid reasons, beater cars are cheap and obviously you can afford it based on what you own that must cost $$$. I 100% concur with those who said buy a beater. If your SO questions why you need it, simple... you are putting too many miles on your other cars and it's devaluing them too fast. Purely an economic necessity. Problem solved.... just remember on the beater, no bright colors, nothing rare, the more common the better. And no unusual vanity plate either!
Definitely incognito until the beater refuses to start in the AMP parking lot and who ya gonna call

LOL... Beater car doesn't mean piece of crap! Mine is 20 yrs old and I maintain regularly. It has never left me stranded yet. If he's truly worried you can get AAA for like $60/yr... anyway... going a little off track. If you got $$$ like OP then you should spend some to reduce your chance of something far more expensive like your SO taking 1/2 of everything. Just my 2 cents

Ha... Well, 99.9% of people wouldn't even notice it so not a lambo / maclaren etc as I have too many kids I have to uber to practicies. But for a while I was probably 1 of 1 in the area and I've only seen 2 others in the wild since I've own the car so... But, I don't want to give myself up either!

Good call. I leave my Bugatti Chiron at home too. I don't want people mistaking me for Floyd Mayweather :ROFLMAO:

Cmon at least give us a manufacturer or country of origin? Lol
Being a car geek he gave some really good clues. 99% of people wouldn’t notice it and it is extremely rare. Keep in mind he said high-end. Only a few manufacturers have very limited number cars. Some AMG Mercedes are low production, but I am putting bets on an Audi RS4 series with very few produced, maybe 1,500, yet still has 4 doors. Subtle, but easily recognizable. Anyway, your post got the car guys feeling the ST

Distinctive high end sounds like

- Porsche 911 GT3 (not turbo or any other 911)
- AMG GT (like the green monster color), not any other AMG like C43 or E63.
- BMW i8 or M8 (not a M3/M4/M5)
any car that's Italian like a Ferrari/Lambo.
