PayScale - Chemical Engineer Salary Survey, Average Salaries

Assuming that is anywhere near accurate that's not much more than I make, and I have 0 debt and live pretty small other than my hobbies and I would NOT be able to take on a Gallardo without selling my soul to the thing.

Of course, that's just an average, and he may do much better than that.

Just food for thought, but my car payments are around $1K a month and insurance on both my cars is around $240/mo. I can do this comfortably but a Gallardo is well beyond me, though. Maintenance on that car would kill me, and you can't finance maintenance, lol.

*On a Gallardo, you are looking at $1-1.50 per mile to maintain. If you buy it used, check to see how much clutch is left. It's about $5K to replace and lasts around 15-25K miles normally, depending on how you drive it. Also understand that when you bu ya car like that pre-owned, it is HIGHLY likely that you are buying someone else's mess in that you are going to have a lot of wear/maintenance items to tend to right out of the gate. Have it inspected THOROUGHLY if you don't buy new.
