i'm thinking more of the now affordable V8/v10 that can be had for 15k, even if you get a well sorted M5 things like fuel/tires can add up quick

wait people don't daily their M5? a 4-door car is saved for the weekends & track?

even a good chunk of members here would struggle to find a second parking spot, so the days of owning 3-4 cars between a couple or household are diminishing even amongst enthusiasts...many have started to look into e-bikes/scooters

heck, even brand new platforms are quite awful on fuel econ...thinking of tacoma/rdx

with force induction and hi-compression there's more and more brand new vehicles requiring premium
