    I would, too. Fuck spending all that money on a car to sit in the garage. That's wasteful to me. Later, QD.

    i would drive it as much as i could but when its pouring rain so hard you cant see whats in front of you, then that would be the days i left it in the garage. dont care how good of a driver you are, the idiot behind,beside or coming at you would worry the shit out of me lol.

    Well this was bought new so yes he paid 200,000 + for it. He owns a automotive carpet manufacturing plant called "dorsett carpet".

    That's where all poor folks go wrong when looking at it.

    His SI civic might have been 8,000. But he, I'm assuming, is making around 25,000.00 a year. That 8,000 is rougly 1/3 of what he makes in a year.
    His Aston Marin might be 208,000. But he probably makes around the amount that puts him so ahead that he doesnt have to worry about that chunk of change spent on the car. The rich guy is probably making millions in a year, that 208,000 might be like his yearly bonus lol.

    Now what is the difference here....

    Astons are not nearly as bad to daily. But to daily a Lamborghini...your either balling out of control or love wasting money. Yearly upkeep on a slightly driven Lamborghini is upwards of $10,000.

    Yeah, I'd daily it on a road full of salt, it's a car, not a show piece. I've seen cars much nicer than that daily driven too.

    BTW if you're only spending ten grand a year on your Lamborghini you got lucky. lol

    The most I'd ever spend on a car (if I had the money) would be 1.5 million.
