"And if you do drive a performance engine you're also wasting money, because you are still only going from point a to b."

Everything can be considered a waste of money if you dumb it down that much.

Playing video games is a waste of money because you paid to watch pixels on a screen.

Tabletop gaming is a waste of money because you paid for miniatures or a core rulebook.

As an enthusiast of cars, video games and tabletop games I think it's a little silly to call them wastes of money if you're not a hobbyist in that certain area. Some people simply enjoy a different feel for driving, in many cases a lot of us go on cruises or track days, making it our daily driver is hardly a stretch.
