Priorities! I’ve seen numerous rich dudes in Richmond drive Ferraris while still living in a 1 bedroom - 2 bedroom condo near the oval. Sometimes just yolo it.

Everyone should post pics of their OG ride and what they have now. It’ll be interesting to see.

Just got a new car since the used market was bonkers last year when someone totaled the RSX-S. I'd say it's equally as fun as the S2000. It's manual, active exhaust and the seats glow up. Quote:

To move to a detached, I have to make $350 - 500K a year to qualify + save heavily for a down then pay $8 - 10K mortgage for 25 years lol. Lets just finance a Ferrari for $3k/mo instead, probably more happy.

The ferrari is good on paper.... you think you'll be happy
BUT
you wont be happy when you service the F car (after the 8 year free maintenance) or pay for the insurance, or parking it, or really even driving it as any F car over 10,000kms is considered high mileage. Plus they'll still depreciate and eventually go down to the 200k-300k range from the 450k that you paid for it.
If you have to pay for the F car monthly, i dont think you'll seriously enjoy it as you'll be too nervous to even drive it anywhere. its the MOFO's who pay for it by cash, drive everyday and into the ground, and not give a hoot. Thats the level of $$$ you need to be happy with ferrari ownership.
Oh and the wait list for an F8 tributo is ~2 years right now. Roma's orders are 1 year ish, and the superfast is superlong wait as well.
I thought about it.... then i recall my maserati experience and i just  better off with my toyota

Lol they were new tires but federal 595s are essentially the equivalent of good tires when bald. I spun my way out though, just gotta burn down to the pavement.

One thing I’ll kind add for the people stressing about not having a cool car
Basically every single person I knew from HS who had a brand new/cool car are all complete duds now. So I wouldn’t fret about it lol

My first car was only 11 years old (1991 Ford Escort GT). It still stands as being the newest car I’ve ever owned, despite being $400. Lol.

Linglong or westlakes. Also 595s are still around. I actually have Indy 500s on the e30 haha. They are pretty good, but I also didn’t want to have crazy sticky tires on a 33 year old 197hp 4 banger. There’s definitely a “too much grip” situation in a car like that when it comes to fun.

They look like ad08-r, like exactly. I’d love to see a lap comparison to see how the compounds stack up.

A lot of the local drift guys use to run Federal 595 like 10+ years ago due to their price. I ran a set of 595 RSR on my old Miata(s) in 2015/2016 and was pretty happy with price/performance. Pretty much out of the scene nowadays but would be curious what's the new budget UHP tire now in case I ever find time to do some events.
