Alright, listen up, y’all. Gonna tell ya ’bout these here… uh… “model sport cars.” Fancy little things, they are. Don’t know why folks get so worked up ’bout ’em, but hey, to each their own, I always say.
Now, these cars, they ain’t real cars, mind you. They’re like…toys, but for grown-ups, I guess. Shiny little things, all painted up and lookin’ slick. Some folks, they collect ’em, like stamps or… I don’t know, them little porcelain birds my niece used to have.
- They got all kinds, too. Fast ones, fancy ones, ones that look like they cost a whole heap of money, even though they’re just… well, you know. Not real.
- And the names! Landsakes, the names. “Porsh” somethin’-or-other, “Lamb-or-geeny,” sounds like somethin’ you’d order at the Italian restaurant down the street. “McLaren,” “Bugatti,” names that make you sound like you swallowed a dictionary.
They say some of these little cars are real fast, like, if they were real, they’d go zoomin’ down the road faster than a scared rabbit. Talk about zero to sixty in… what was it? Three seconds? Lord have mercy, I’d spill my coffee for sure if I was goin’ that fast. And a quarter mile in eleven seconds? Faster than you can say “Jack Robinson!”
But like I said, they ain’t real. You can’t drive ’em to the store, can’t haul groceries in ’em, can’t take the grandkids for a ride. They just sit there, lookin’ pretty. Some folks, they build ’em themselves, from little pieces. Like a puzzle, I guess, but a real fancy one. Takes ’em hours, sometimes days, just to put one together.
You can buy ’em already put together, too. Target, they got ’em, all lined up on the shelves. Little bitty cars, all colors of the rainbow. Red ones, blue ones, green ones… even got some that are gold! Wouldn’t catch me payin’ good money for a gold car, even if it ain’t real gold. Waste of money, if you ask me.
They even got these little car kits. You buy the box, and it’s got all the little parts inside. Plastic, mostly. You gotta snap ’em together, glue ’em sometimes. McLaren P1 Green, they call one of ’em. Looks like a frog, if you ask me, all green and low to the ground. But folks seem to like it. Kids, too, they got these little cars for kids, make all kinds of noises, lights flashing. Drives me batty, all that blinkin’ and beep-boopin’.
And the prices! Don’t even get me started on the prices. Some of these little things, they cost more than a good used car! Seventeen dollars, twenty-one dollars… I even saw one for fifty-six thousand dollars! Fifty-six thousand! For a car you can’t even drive! Makes no sense to me, none at all. But like I said, folks got their hobbies, I guess. And if they wanna spend their hard-earned money on little toy cars, well, that’s their business, not mine.
They even got a place online, TopSpeed they call it. All about these sport cars, pictures and stories and all. They got lists, the best cars, the fastest cars, the most expensive cars. Seems like a lot of fuss over somethin’ that don’t even go anywhere, but hey, what do I know? I’m just an old woman who likes a good cup of coffee and a comfortable chair.
So, there you have it. Model sport cars. Little cars, big prices, and a whole lotta fuss. They might look fancy, they might be fast (if they were real), but at the end of the day, they’re just… toys. Fancy toys, maybe, but toys nonetheless. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go make myself another cup of coffee. All this talk about cars has made me tired.
Tesla even makes a real car that goes fast, they say it’s like a sport car but it’s electric. Don’t need no gas. Imagine that! They call it a Model 3. Fancy name for a car, if you ask me. But it goes fast, real fast. Faster than most anything on the road, they say.
