My dad's dream car is a Porsche 911, and he said that I can buy him one when I'm a surgeon (which is my future job of choice, but not for the money). So anyway, we were in the car and a 356 passes us, and he said "you can buy me that", I told him "that's over $500k", and he said "you'll be able to afford that". Ok...I'm buying a BMW 507 for myself before I buy my dad a 356. I however don't really expect to be able to afford a car of that rarity, you never know though.

DON'T EVER PROMISE YOUR PARENTS A EXPENSIVE CAR!!!! NEVER!

Why can't it be for the money just a little bit?

Replica. Much cheaper, he'll never know the difference.

356s aren't $ 500K! Apart from that, my parents always told me that they wanted me to marry rich so that they could stop working. We all have our dreams.

you can get a nice 356 likethe one shown for as "little" as 60k. only the super nice speedsters approach 500k. Most are in the 50-150k range.

Until he takes his lovely new porsche to a porsche owner's club meet. I think he would be ostracized very quickly.

What, it's got the original VW borrowed power plant.

I'd straight rock a replica, I don't give a rats ass.

Surgery doesn't pay nearly as well as you'd think. Especially after the nearly requisite divorce(s).

Lol I was just speaking for the porsche owners club...I assume they'd be able to tell immediately it was a replica. Not that replicas are bad...some are better than the original.

See when I was looking for the hell of it, I looked up speedsters...I'm pretty sure what I saw wasn't a speedster.

Not for the money...but what the money will buy

$400-$600k for a specialty (neurosurgery, which is one of my interest areas)

And that's why you wear clothes from K-Mart on your first date

Ive seen a few but they seem to be rarer.

I might be wrong about this.. but I thought that the 507 was a pretty rare beast? like 200 models made sort of rare? don't they go for like a million?

not quite that rare...but still rare, I think it's closer to 400 something made. They right now go between $600k-1M
