10 reasons why living with a supercar in a big city is not as great as you think
Bryan Logan/Business Insider
Most car enthusiasts would jump at the opportunity to get behind the wheel of one, enticed by the big, thunderous engines and other-worldly looks that exotics possess.
It's almost cliché to say that supercars are the stuff of dreams. Truthfully, they are more of a study in harsh realities.
Outside of a racetrack or some flawless stretch of pavement supercars are nearly useless. Some of them are works of art, to be sure, but once employed as daily drivers, they are basically loud, over-engineered land missiles that cost more than four times the average annual US household income.
Own one of these cars in a city like San Francisco and you might be in for a stressful experience.
Audi gave me the keys to a 2017 Audi R8 V-10 Plus a few weeks ago. All things considered, this is one of the few supercars that tries to make itself livable as a daily driver.
There are more than a few areas in which the R8 shines. So my experience driving this car in and around San Francisco, though challenging, had less to do with the car itself and more to do with the general headache of city living with this much power beneath my feet.
