You could afford it, just open that wallet, throw caution to the wind, put savings on hold, and don’t fear long terms. It’s the American Dream :)

Especially when you walk past a marina with multiple million dollar yachts. All I can think is, “these people could write me a check for $50k and not even notice”

If I won the lottery there wouldn’t be single car for sale under 2000 in a 100 mile radius. Because I am weird like that ;)

Even with the C8 coming out like a half dozen of my friends have one and it’s driving me slightly nuts that I can’t afford it

“ You don’t want to afford that car.” I don't believe this

“ Nissan’s working on a new Z.” definitely don't believe this.

“ That’s the want you have” nope, don't believe this, either

I really like the LC500. Big 2 dr coupe, true GT car. PLus you don’t see the dumb grill from the drivers seat.

08/13/2019 at 12:33

Yeah, that’s not even fair. I get annoyed at people around my age (late 20's) who have nice trucks and cool boats and toys, thinking why can’t I have that? Oh yeah, because my wife and I prioritizing our debt, overpaying on every loan we have, and putting money away for an acreage. And also because I have a lot of crappy fun things instead of one or two nice fun things.

I’ll take everything between 2001 and 3000, if I happen to live in your area. Then from those cars I will take the highest horsepower engine and put it in the lightest car.

I have a spreadsheet complete with the cars, their locations ( different cities), the assigned weekly / monthly, yearly upkeep, maintenance, cleani ng.

That makes sense. You’d keep the pink drop top Lambo in Miami as that is its natural habitat.

Cars like Lamborghini’s can be rented out easily. More so in places like Miami. In fact , m ight just open a car rental company in such pla ces. Access to all the cars and make money while I don’ t use them.

I would be after the one-off’s or rare cars. example :

G63 6x6

G500

Interesting idea for a new economic stimulus package. Govt gives money to oppos. Oppos buy cheap cars from locals. Cars do not get crushed. Economy improves. Everyone wins.

If I could afford any car I wanted I still wouldn’t buy something new and flashy. Everything I drove would either be old or resto-modded. An MG with a BMW 318 engine. A Mercedes wagon with a 2JZ. A Volvo with a 351. You get the idea.

Nissan no has V8 and definitely has plastic interior. LC500 is a piece of wonky engineered art. Drove one, loved it.
