Highly recommend iphone SE 3rd gen, it's fast, compact size, 5G ready. I found one on CL for $150 (lucked out!), great shape, 100% battery health, and works like a charm! That find on Amazon for a refurb/renewed is a great price as well!

If we're talking frugal.... I got the late night deal at Yaohan food court (3 large tins $22 and 2 bowls of rice $4). Split that into 7 meals, I'm paying $3.71 per meal lol.
And if you're curious what I got, it was one container full of sweet and sour pork, another filled with soya sauce chicken, and the last filled with green beans/gai lan.
Breakfast? PBJ and black coffee at home
Afternoon snack? Oats with protein powder and strawberries or blueberries or apples (apple pie style).
Rough estimate I'm probably thriving on about $10 per day. Probably less.
Oh, and I'm walking/biking to work these days lol.

Purchase cost wise, Gallardo 6MT ship probably sailed too
IMO at this point it's an R8 or manual swapped 360/430 ..
360 timing belts need changing ever 3 years, 430 is a chain.

But it's like 450k for a good one, and then another 200k for a well done swap, and you are effectively taking a huge gamble on resale with a car like that. My take is more than likely you take a loss on resale once you manual swap, and most likely get put on Ferrari's naughty list (not that I care since I probably won't buy a new Ferrari)

its the "last NA V8 mid engine Ferrari tax"
even the most abused beat up 458 are $250K...
I was telling my friend this as well, I get it.. it is the end all and be all whatever...
And if you are NOT gonna daily it, as in keeping the miles low... 458 will hold value and apprieciate over time (faster than inflation)
I know I am gonna get a lot of hate... but to daily... I will probably do the $250K 2yr old ROMA... still within the 7 year maintenance program... "more reliable"... well as reliable as an Italian car will get... have modern features... and I can put miles on it.... and it is basically the 488 with updated infotaiment and avoids the mid-engine Ferrari Tax... yea yea turbo I get it I get it....but hey still V8... Ferrari is going V6... that means you either splurge for the V12... or the brand is dead to me...
If I wanted a V6 Ferrari... I could have just saved for the Alfa Quadrofoliofahduiofaheucn however you spell it XD

Other stalls start clearing things out earlier too, perhaps around 7pm. Ironically, I learned about the deal through a local youtube video of white guys looking for good deals on food around the city.
Chances are, there's a similar thing going on at RPM but I haven't gone to check that out before. Similar foods.

^ and they drop the price the later it gets, they have these cardboard signs ready to switch out. But of course, you get less choice.

Get a fucking Maserati from the period when they were owned by Ferrari. Stop whining about your Ferrari horseshit and go drive a Maserati first. Either granturismo or qp5.
Both can be had for well under 60k and will give you very good performance and sound for 90% of your Ferrari needs at 10% of its price

But Maserati looks like shit, they still look like back in the day when they made cars for Chrysler. Funny how they are the same company now. 
Buying a Maserati is like rubbing your cock on the pussy but never putting it in, you ain't getting the full experience

Fuck at 450k I'd buy a 964 a 348 and a panamera sport turismo and still maybe have money left over.
Can't a manual f430 be had for sub 200 and be pretty livable?
