Sure, it's worth something. But what?
$100g less than he paid for it?
So he walks away with $100g, basically throwing away the other hundred. And for what, because he wanted one as a kid?
Buddy needs to grow up, and live in the now.
I stand by everything that I said, that he could have used the cash to better his own, and his families situation. But instead, he dropped 5 years worth of income on a car that he doesn't even drive very often.
You'd have to be either young and inexperienced, or batshit crazy to agree with his choices.

It must be a RS tradition no one reads carefully haha Quote: |
I earn £20K or $30K a year, my wife earns half that,
| GBP:CDN today is 1.00 GBP = 1.78845 CAD
Suppose it's avg of $25K and 12.5K GBP for his wife = that's still nearly $68k combined income for both of them not $40K cdn that everyone's thinking.
Still, mad respect for the guy's dilligence in saving up. I probably would've bought something else but god knows what I could've done if I saved up for something like him!

To be honest, a $40k income is really enough to provide a decent life for his family, and maintain the lambo.
The guy used his old savings to buy the lambo, but that isn't a ding in his current income, the only damage to his current income brought on by the lambo is the insurance, maintenance etc., so i don't see how 40,000 GBP a year could be insufficient

While I agree with the fact that he could have used the money he spent on the car to invest and receive returns to finance his passion with he still decided that life really was too short to live without what he wants.
Car forums all over the world are probably talking about this guy. Hes now world famous.
He got his dream car, provides for his family, and has international notoriety(albeit among a very specific group of people)
We should all be so lucky.

You'd have to be either young and inexperienced, or batshit crazy to agree with his choices. | Personally, I wouldn't have done that if I were in the same situation. I would use the cash on investments or save up for emergency usage. However, it is the man's choice and he is willing to sacrifice a lot more than we would have. Therefore, it is not about being inexperienced or what not, it's about personal preference.

has anybody considered the fact that he may be lying?
ie he's buying a used bumper, gets criticized for it and makes up a lie in order to make the other dude look bad? It happens a lot on forums, seen ppl get caught for it a couple of times on revscene even

Well, if he invested in Mutual funds, he'd be in a worse position than investing in the Lambo. So yea, good job

there's not much to say...
other than I know we waste a lot of money. I waste money eating out, i waste money playing games..
but those to me, are fun. He can lambo all he wants, oh, no wait he can't. he drives like nothing in a year...
so meh.. i wouldn't be proud of being a minimalist or proud of the way i live either... i just don't care. XD
