Why bother spending more? It's comfortable, reliable, and has enough power to keep me entertained.

My first "big" purchases:

I'll fix up my 2000 Buick Regal, it needs a steering rack and some paint work. I'd also like to give it some new suspension.

Maybe also buy a used KTM 990 SMT to replace my current shitbike, accompanied with some new riding gear.

I drive a 2000 Buick Regal GS, modified to make ~380hp at the crank. It's my first car, and I don't think I'll ever sell it. I also own a 2006 Yamaha FJR1300 (thanks dad), and a Honda Grom.

>How do I look at the costs?
Short of changing my vehicle I can't really change them, they are what they are.

>Percentage of net worth?
For this car I spent about 40% of my networth, however living at home with little to no expenses at the time meant I was willing to spend more on a vehicle. Now, I'd look at 15-20% of net worth/income for a vehicle. Subject to change though, it's really dependant on my situation at the time.

>Cash or financing?
CASH every time, I'll never finance a vehicle.

>New or used?
Used, obviously. I'm not interested in buying a new vehicle unless it's a motorcycle, those are a bit different.

>Street or garage?
Street in the summer, garage in the winter. My bikes take over the garage for the summer.

I've got a 2000 GS, super comfy, nice and quick now since I've got the 3800 performance Stage 6 kit installed with a smaller pulley installed. Making 380hp at the crank, love these cars.

Picking up a used Ducati 999 next week, test rode one of those FJ09s, loved it but don't want to spend that sort of money on a bike right now.
