Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure there are more stable investments with higher return rates to be made with 100k than sitting on a modern Porsche and hoping it goes up.

Really interesting post and I really wish there were more people like you. Would it be bad if I said it is almost embarrassing as a Chinese person that half of the $100k cars that are driving by young PRCs just as a status symbols and will probably never take their cars to a track? Because that's something I see a lot.
Might be off topic, but I was at YMCA last weekend and saw an Asian women driving out of the parking lot in a Ford Raptor. I would be surprised if she has ever taken that car off-road. Then again, how many Raptors, Range Rovers, etc are ever taken off-road?

Jerk off to them? Lol! If you are going to drop $100k on a toy, I assume you are smart enough to manage your finances responsibly

If he enjoys driving the car then sure, keep it, but if your sole purpose for keeping it is as an "investment" well...

Gorgeous GT3!
Did you sell it locally? If so, I think I know the current owner who put on a set of E88s!

I might have found a solution, will be meeting up with a friend this week who has a very low mile NA2 NSX... Last NSX I drove was an NA1 and it felt rough, I'm hoping it was just that specific car

No matter what has been said, and how many people just don't get it, this has been a brilliant thread JT. Since those draconian speed laws came into effect and the chances of losing your $100k ride have increased, it almost isn't worth having something that can break all traffic laws with a firm stomping of your right foot.
I still have my GD STi with a 20g and top mount AWIC. It's a solid 300whp with instant spool, and is far more fun on a regular basis to drive than any exotic. Plus it has lots of seats. I also have a couple of 67' Chevys that have gobs of torque with a tranny and rear end that is built to get me to 120 kmh quickly. Would it be nice to have a GT35R on the STi and a big block with a t56 in my Beaumont? Sure. Would I get into trouble with those setups? Fuck yeah!
Could this be a sign of us getting older and wiser?
Or is it a change in society where the next generation just doesn't give a five about cars? Quote:
