You say all this... but the post where he claimed he was “totally serious” includes a picture of a extreme camber, stupid low static vehicle. Your own definition justifies why people are calling him “rice”. If he just wants to use the air suspension in effort to make a softer ride, that’s fine... but let’s be honest with ourselves, that’s a minority of air suspension users.

But bags doesn't mean slam either, it means low, and the ability to raise.
Saying the F-type isn’t a track car is very short sighted, I assume you knew this and are just trying to add to your point with something you don’t 100% believe. However, your comments about the Audi/AMG air suspension systems are irrelevant. The vehicles these systems come on aren’t sports cars. They’re dressed up as sports cars but really being sold as a high end luxury vehicle for city use. Their systems compromise good handling for the advantage of adjustable height and a softer ride (which doesn’t actually improve ride quality). The OP must just keep in mind the addition of an air suspension system will have negative effects to get the desired outcome; this magnified by the fact that the car was never intended to have it.

So the wealthy purchasers have better taste? I've not observed that to be the case.

Excellent question. No, obviously the wealthy are generally like all other people and have some individuals with poor taste. However, the kind of people that can afford a brand new F-type tend to have social pressures and obligations that keep them more in line. For example, if I were to show up in a slammed car, I would quickly find myself disinvited from a lot of places. So even if I were the kind of person to rice my car, I wouldn't do it for this reason.
