Shmee150 has just bought a Ford Focus RS, and we hate him. No seriously, with all the cool supercars he currently owns, why did he have to spoil the symbol of affordable performance.
We're bundling up his two latest videos into one story. And before we say anything else, let's run down all the cars he currently has: classic Mini, Focus RS, Porsche Cayman GT4 and Ferrari FF. In addition, he has ordered a brand new Aston Martin, the Mercedes-AMG GT R and has a new McLaren 675LT Spyder.

Many people believe that he has a deal with McLaren that allows him to drive all their latest models and pretend he owns them in exchange for the promoting these V8 monsters on Youtube. But that's kind of beyond the point.

There are car fans who want the ultimate machine, the one that cannot be touched by anything. And there are those who want to experience different things at once. We know them as collectors. And while Shmee150's garage is not as big as Jay Leno's, he has amassed quite a few toys.

But beyond wanting to own different kinds of performance vehicles, Tim says he wants to experience different kinds of buying experiences. For example, the relatively normal purchase of a Ford Focus RS is the polar opposite of Aston Martin's bespoke program.

Literally, every guy who's passionate about cars dreams of owning at least two of them at once, whether it's a Miata and a MINI or a Ferrari and a Porsche Cayenne. It's a fun thing we all want to experience, but very few can. However, we find it interesting that there are no real load-luggers, no Range Rovers, BMW X5s or even a wagon.

So what about you guys, would you buy a McLaren P1 or an entire collection of other cool machines? Watch the videos and let me know with a quick comment.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
