The majority of people might suggest that Lamborghinis are not for grandads.

Yet in most cases people are grandads by the time they have accrued the necessary wherewithall to purchase one.

The whole question is a ridiculous, slightly ageist and discriminatory proposition.

Not a granddad then, just a menace to society in general but in particular, other road users?
