I guess the desire to earn investment income will always be greater than having a nice car.
If I could be Devil's Advocate - Do you want to have your monies tied up and locked away during your prime years or do you want to enjoy it? On paper, it sounds good because naturally we want to save as much as we can or naturally we are just greedy.

But what if your situation changes? You get married, you have kids, you need a bigger house and then you think, "Shit, now this GT4 is nothing but a distant dream." only to find out your wife hates your car hobby and that's the end of the dream. Food for thought.
