Well I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a 2SS, cant wait to get it and I hope we all fit in it haha. It will be the daily driver so I hope it goes good in all the snow we get. I probably won't be able to fill the tank up that much if gas prices keep going up but it will fun when I can afford the gas for it.

Not bad.

Maybe today, but NOT REALLY in 2008.

The peak month of hyperinflation occurred in mid-November 2008 with a rate estimated at 79,600,000,000% per month. US$1 was equivalent to $2,621,984,228,675,650,147,435,579,309,984,228

The addition of my Z06 will allow me to race to the next trash can faster than anyone and I forecast my earnings will at least double to $70 per month with this addition.

I think a new Z06 will assist you greatly as a Secondary Aluminum Container Recovery Specialist

You answered your own assumption of me.

My knowledge of THIS customer base... My customer base doesn't buy cars, I don't sell cars. If they did, then yea.... I'm a horrible salesman

I appreciate the input guys.. I enjoy seeing how others are finding their way to purchasing the car. Either buying it outright, or saving for half.. Or to some, buying their dream car after 50-60 years of being alive. I'm enjoying seeing the different walks.

Another hidden agenda of mine was to also see who here was pulling the trigger and buying their dream and at hat age... When do you sit there and go, "**** it. I'm doing it"... Regardless of some of the financial situations (income in this thread)..

I also don't condone buying a car if you are in debt, or will need that money for other things!

Thank's everyone.

I think you are taking my statement (while I did type it) WAY to direct with its numbers. YES, clearly I did not mean EVERYONE here made 400k.. The generalization I had of these forums were that of older gentleman in a very or comfortable financial lifestyle which meant their purchase was nothing more than a weekend toy. So, 100 to 1 million.. And I do frequent some Ferrari forums...... Those forums exist, in this universe

Wtf, you need to ensure your First mod is a camera. Blackvue sells a good front and rear with parking mode. Never Ever get a car that's an Outlier in your neighborhood; part of the reason I went with the 2SS instead of a Cayman: Similar price range, but percieved differently.

Get a good job. Stay single or find a great girl who also has a great job and who is in no hurry to get married. Don't have kids.

And people wonder why I'm always smiling

I'll forgive you for asking. As long as you forgive me for saying none of your f'ing business.
But enough to have paid for my last five cars with cash. Also will pay cash for my next. Debt free except for my monthly CC bill.
