Funny thing is that it's probably one of the main reasons why I'm a bit disinterested in modern supercars.
During my secondary school & much of my college days, i spent countless hours trying to debunk/clear up certain misconceptions and depictions online which got tiring really quickly. The internet being bombarded with photos of exotics carrying Khaleeji plates didn't exactly help my case
(no worries, I don't mind such spots).I realized that just doing my own things would be much better time spent and thus given up.

Yeah!! I've been interested in cars like Fiat Brava and Volvo V70 since I was little. And being a super car spotter in your hometown is a bit boring...

I've been gradually getting more intrigued by "everyday" European cars, especially from makes and/or models that are currently quite rare over here.
Show me a classic late 60s Camaro in person and i'll go "oh nice Chevy", now show me a nice Peugeot 406 and i'll go like a 10 year old who was gifted a PS3.

I absolutely understand you! As a child, I was of course super interested in supercars, almost as if they were the hottest and coolest thing on the planet. At the point of when I first started carspotting, I'd get goosebumps over spotting many supercars, But as I've got older, I've grown to appreciate the more "mundane" but interesting cars that are attainable in realistic terms, as well as having a specialist interest in "Foreign Market" vehicles. Given the choice, I'd rather spot a US-spec Toyota Sienna than a Porsche 911 or a McLaren 570S. I guess it's because we are almost always interested in the things we just don't get.
It's funny you mention about the Peugeot 406. It's a car that 10 years ago, I wouldn't even notice on the road here in the UK, but yesterday evening I spent a good minute or two oggling at a blue-coloured 406 Wagon parked up near where I was, pondering over the fact that I've not seen a 406 Wagon in a long time UK, probably the last one being one owned by a friend as a "stop-gap" car which I drove around a little bit. It felt....very French! I digress though.
But don't get me wrong, if I saw a supercar from my childhood on the street, like a Bugatti EB110 or Ferrari F50, I'm gonna be all over that damn car!!

The same story about me, Jacko and Bahraini Carguy. As well as you, I was also quite interested in expensive cars when I was young, and 11 years ago, I've been uploading only such photos. And now, I'm looking just for old used cars, usually European and Soviet/Russian.

You pulled the words right out of my mouth, Jacko and everyone else.
The shift in my car's taste began around my teenage days but accelerated heavily in the last 3 years or so. As early as 2017, i was already showing interest in something like an Opel Tigra and Y31 Cedric.
