Me; precisely zero. My friends? I dunno. It's their licence and
"their" dough.

Afternoon? Only during vacations. It's like what get's built before
the first coffee break of large-volume manufacturers.

Would you call a Rolls-Royce a street car? Or a Ferrari, or a
Lamborghini? So's the Bugatti.

I'm sure that the reality of some people will include a Bugatti. For
people (?) like Bill Gates, it's a drop in the ocean. There are
hundreds of others looking for a status symbol, and perhaps a few
dozen well-to-do enthusiasts who will appreciate and be able to
enjoy the car.

The technology is trickling down to "everyday" cars more rapidly.
Unfortunately, most customers are easily distracted by "luxuries"
like cup holders (silicone-damped, of course) instead of real
technology. So the manufacturers are way behind in implementing the
technology they have sitting on the shelf.
