Drive a mercedes S class. Worked hard, had no life for a few years. Literally worked non-stop for like 5 years or so. Both domestically and over sea....

It feels alright. Had some old d00d in an old benz wave at me yesterday in a parking lot.

Ride is pretty comfy , pretty quick for a big ass car.

In Western Europe, especially in Deutschland, a 90k car is pretty common. Typically as a company car. I usually drive a plain Mercedes S-class because it is just an amazing car; it looks goods and does not show off too much. However, when you are a young person like me, 25 y.o., some people look at you with envy, but most don't seem to care.

Although we live by "pour vivre heureux vivons cachés" and don't like to show off. I do have to admit that driving the F488 or Rolls comes with some public resentment.

Also they spent a ridic amount on tolls and parking for commute and parking in NYC. They lived basically like your average family in the rat race, exept just a higher class version, at the end of each month they hardly had much left over

1) learn to wrench. I did a 3k service on my wife's car with some basic tools, being able to read , and some patience . (breaking a 140ft/lb of torque bolt sucks when laying on your back)

2) insurance, I am "high risk" and pay 115$usd a month, and no it ain't basic shit. If you own the damn thing you get a reasonable rate. Also you should have reasonable credit that helps too..

3) owned my S class for almost 3 years ... maintain it myself ... spent like 1.5k maintaining it....

I don’t mind driving a car that people stare at. I like driving old, every day drivers, that people are nostalgic for. When people look & smile, it brings back a lot of memories. Memories of being young with their families, road trips, their first date when they were allowed to take out the family car.

While I agree with the advice, I don't think it's middle-age crisis that fueles it. That's just what people say out of spite. If I want a fancy car, I will be middle-age by the time I am able to afford one. And I think that's the case with most people that got their first sportscar at an older age - they couldnt buy it eariler. Kinda sad but oh well.

Same, I got 0.9% and my credit score is sky high. If I was so inclined I'd just do a principal reduction of like 95% of the loan and just have $20 payments for the duration of the loan. Credit score stays fat and account age is ++. Plus I'm paying a tank of gas to drive a car that with a small check could be paid for if I wanted the title. Cash is king, I'd rather have the payment.

I drive my mother's old vw polo 2001, but once I got to drive a black BMW 750 li 300kw 2009 for a week. It had nice alpina wheels and overall looked really clean and sleek. Costs about €15k though(uses like 20 liters per 100km). Anyway driving that thing as a 19 year old last year was fucking great. The power, sound and the look of the car made a lot of people stare. Heck just the sound alone made people look. You pull up to the stoplight with your big ass car(longer wheelbase model), then just push the pedal until you feel that "click" and you'll just launch away. The interior is also so comfy.

I have $65k in LINK and thought about buying a car like that, but the maintenance and gas is just too much currently. Car should be max 10% of your net worth and ideally leased. I live in a poorer place and I cringe every time I see a Mercedes or BMW cars parked outside. Mostly dumb Russians who need a status symbol.

Like I told the other anon, I think the 430s are the thing to buy now if you want a used Ferrari. They still have the naturally aspirated sound and were a significant improvement in reliability and quality over the 430.

Porsche GT cars are great too. I think there is a car bubble that is going to pop in general and there will be more buys coming up. Depends what you want though, I mean a GT3 is a lot different of a car than a Ferrari.

The MB CLK55 AMG Black Series are really fun, but they aren't as refined as either of the above. 2008 or so.

430 Scuderia does have a fast F1 trans and still a beautiful sound but I'm not too keen on it's looks, IMO it's kinda like an ugly duckling between the 360 and 458.
AMG GT-R is also one of the best-buys but it sounds just like every modern turbo AMG, it's not a high-revving engine like the Ferrari or Porsche, not really that special if you ask me.

>Depends what you want though
Something that's scary fast but can also corner.

720S and 600LT are perfect cars in my book for both insane acceleration and track performance but the ownership stories sound like horror shows.
You'd need to have a mclaren dealer in your city if you plan to own these cars.

The Porsche's are great, even if not that exciting. If he wants to drive it often and with zero hassle, I'd get a GT3. If he wants something more aggressive with a tradeoff of lower clearance and less comfort, I'd for sure try to get a GT3 RS allocation if he can budget it. For an all around, even daily driver, Porsche, the GT3 is superior to the RS though. I mean a GT3 I'll take to the grocery store.

Run a small flooring company with my dad. We've got about 10 dudes on payroll.
Got a big break a couple years ago doing apartment complexes. We work well and we work fast. The guy we work with is hella rich and he's building apartment complexes around the country year round.

>Is someone driving a 90k+ car here?
No but 72k a few months ago.
>What does it feel like
Does feel better than the 45k car it replaced, but diminishing returns for sure. The 45k car replaced a beater with no heat or radio, that was awesome and long overdue. It would probably take a supercar to top that feeling.

Currently feels pointless, nowhere to go during quarantine.
>and how did you get where you at?
Business doing well. Lower than average personal bills. Zero debt, excluding car lease. Could have paid cash if I felt like it.
