Don't make me argue with myself!... There are lots more good ones left!

You did skip the emotional aspect. Some people get pleasure from having no debt. They would rather forgo taking the low or no interest rate and put their money to work for the emotional benefit of not having that debt.

We call these people crazy..

That next weekend I was a GT-R owner..

Flash forward to June 2009, I was looking for a daily driver. I was driving from San Diego to LA almost every week. I test drove a 370z and a G37 and opted for the G37. At the time it was the right move since the G was a little more comfortable as a DD and I had the GT-R for the perfomance That goal required some sacrafice including selling the GT-R and G37. 1 year ago this month, we moved into our new house. Our vehicles at that time and still today are a 2010 Ford Raptor and a leased 2011 Accord. It was time to get into something fun again (on road, the Raptor is a blast offroad), so today we drove home a 2012 Solid Red Sport, Touring, Nav from Yuma..

Naaa, you skipped the rational aspect. Some people do get the pleasure of having no debt. they would rather forgo having to work 6 jobs, never worry about any job loss to keep their houses and cars, rather have their money work for them so they can afford to get whatever they want by paying hard cold cash.

Coming from the guy who sold a supposedly existing GTR and G to get a Raptor and to lease an Honda accord within a few months to end up with a Z.

We call these people DUMB FOOOOOOOLS

Congrats on being awesomely crazy for buying your sweet 2012 370z

Your timeline is off along with reasoning. I owned a 350z, G37, GT-R and Raptor at the same time. I sold all but the Raptor and took on the Honda lease when we bought a 2nd property, converting the 1st property to a rental. The 370z came later when I wanted something a little fun when desert season was over.

Cars come and go, but the investment potential of the last 3 years has been huge. Smart people are locking up cheap long term debt right now and keeping their cash working for them.
