I mean, there are expensive cars that are pricey to maintain then there are 100k cars where you need to take the engine out every 5k lol.

That'll cost you another $6 - $10k, but it'll buy you the extra peace of mind for another 3 - 6 years.

Thinking about consolidating my Veloster N + S2000 + Add $$$ for a manual V8 R8 / 911.
Then buy a Honda Acty as my daily since I drive < 6-10,000KM anyways
The only issue is I can afford to instantly fix my Velo N or S2000 blowing up but it would hurt if a $100K car blew up lol | but both the Veloster N and the S2k are appreciating in the market. That R8 / 911 (trash) doesn't seem to be moving up but instead dropping in price.
if you're gonna go full retard, just go buy a real exotic. Ferrari or Lambo, or if you're not that adventurous, Aston / Bentley / Lotus.
Whats the point of spending 100k+ and end up with a run of a mill bitch ass porsche? or a lame ass audi. God forbid you spend 170k and end up with something even worse than those two choices..... a lexus

Isn’t the rule of thumb for buying within ur comfort zone 20% down, 4 year finance, 10% of your income goes to payments!?!?

The company I was at got bought. It was a big hoopla and all, touting the benefits and shares and what not. None of it mattered at the end. They shut us down just before 6 months after transitioning to a Paypal employee full time.
Rumours were, Paypal was in competition with MoneyGram and Tencent to buy us out, and Tencent was the leading competitor.
They shut the business down due to "security breach" but never shared what the breach was. Rumour was (this one needs a big grain of salt though even I don't really believe it) that some one's physical access card wasn't deactivated to the server room, and that was the "breach". And the followup rumour was that it was all engineered so they can shut the company with minimum payout.
Rumours were, the company I was with had licenses to accept physical cash in something like 20 states (don't remember the exact number) and Paypal was keen to keep those licenses away from MoneyGram and Tencent. Those licenses are hard to acquire. There was zero interest in the actual business we were in and Paypal has not since reopened any business in that sector from what I know of.
The fact was, there's internal matching for buying shares per paycheque. 6 months was the first interval for which we the first buy was concrete.
The fact was, they gave us a bunch of shares as merging bonuses, and then the subsequent review period. We never did vest any of it as the first vesting period was 1 year.
They told us we can apply to jobs within and we'd get first considerations. Multiple people reported back that there was a strict no re-hire policy with any employees of our business unit. Two people that was with our unit was actually already in the process of being transferred to another business unit. They had rapport with their new manager and they could not keep them and they were both let go.
It's been years, and I am still bitter about it even though I make more than double of what I was making at Paypal. Quote:

Omg you have a Lego room, with space to actually display sets! Wish I had the space for that; guess I’ll wait til the kids move out…
I see you also have some original Forestmen sets! I sold mine to fund other purchases.

997+ 911's are the last remaining manuals off the checklist
Although a $75-85K Lexus LC500 seems fun, but not sure if it's a good weekend car. Maybe daily

You can't lose with a gated r8. You can lose pending the 911 spec and if your motor is gonna eat itself like the m96/97 love to do in certain instances.

I've driven the auto R8 and it's mid

Probably a $20-30K+ venture, otherwise I'd buy a $50K Auto NSX | Yah 3 years is just a fluke though. Ive had 3-4 years of just oil/tires on my maserati, but then one year it was like almost 30k cuz everything failed.
Arent those new NSX's relatively cheap? Although i dont know if the hybrid motors + a v6 is that reliable and the interior is garbage.

For instance, a SMG --> MT converted E46 M3 does not nearly fetch as much money as an original M/T E46 M3. Despite it being better (everything is newer), OEM and factory spec is the play here.
