IMO, you don't buy a Lambo if you can't afford the lifestyle that comes with it.....and by that I mean that you need to be making well into the 6

IMO, you don't buy a Lambo if you can't afford the lifestyle that comes with it.....and by that I mean that you need to be making well into the 6 figure territory or even in the 7 figures. You don't want to have to worry about a car that's worth more than your salary.

Oh, so we're not allowed to daydream these days? Or we can't appreciate the performance vehicles at the apex of engineering and artistic design? lulz

Not trying to hate on daydreaming man. I dream of owning an exotic everyday, and I hope that one day I will. I'm just saying, cheaper maintenence doesn't negate the fact that you still have to worry about the car if it were to be damaged etc. I personally would feel a lot more comfortable owning a $300,000 asset (besides a house) if I could afford not to care as much about it.

True, but I will figure all that stuff out once I'm ready and able to buy one. It obviously won't be a DD so less worries there. I really only want to buy/own it for a short time and not keep it forever. Just more about the experience of owning one and figured the best time to do it would be before I start a family.

True, fair enough. I really want to own one too. Will do it some day, even if it happens to be when I have a family lol. I'll be the cool dad with the ferrari....that would be pretty cool.

Yeah it would be, but at that point I would rather get rid of the car and buy a nicer house and stuff. Then I could settle down with a GT-R

Indeed, a GTR is still a head turner, and a lot more practical.

Al, look at the fire in Shahid's eyes when he's talking about those cars. He's already way beyond daydreaming about these cars; our broski is a winning winner He's going to make it happen.

Yeah which is why I'm more likely to get one instead. I could have a modded GT-R instead of a Lambo, but it's not the same. I could DD the GT-R too which is another huge plus and it has 4 seats. If they made it more exotic looking, I would have no reason not to get it.

Nice, riding shotgun when you do get yours

This is exactly what this sort of maintenance program would help with. I'm obviously not going to buy one if I can't afford to buy/keep it. A free maintenance plan would virtually eliminate most if not all of the ridiculous maintenance expenses for an exotic car.

More realistically though, I will probably end up with a GT-R.
