I too am a total car fan. But, I'm far from wealthy and struggle to justify my $5000 mountain bike. So, I get my kicks playing Dirt Rally 2.0 on the PS4 when all the duties are taken care of but riding isn't in the cards. I have as much fun as I can in my old Impreza automagic while getting to the trails where the real fun begins. the beauty of mountain bikes is that unlike cars, I can ride a piece of finely tuned machinery as fast and far as my skills will let me. I'm riding a bike that is the car equivalent of a Corvette, STI, Shelby Mustang (no I don't have Ferrari level bike budget lol) and I love that it takes so much abuse and just asks for a little chain lube and bolt check every ride. Those that say mountain bikes are a rip off should look at what it costs to get the same level of experience out of any other machinery. To me, they are a bargain. I love this sport and I love the vehicles that get us there.
