Word....I wonder how many people on here will ever own a lambo =P

Props to this guy. He got his dream car and sounds like he's happy and so is his family.

So much haters....not everyone wants to drive a honda =P

if u took the time to read it, he says he already owns his own house

One thing people need to get is... forget about his 40K annual income. The lambo does not come from there. He saved his butt off for decades to get the lambo. (He bought it outright) His monthly expense on the lambo is probably less than your daily driver civic.

He put 1800 miles a year... that's 3000KM + or -. It's just a car that goes out every weekend or less than that. Assume 3000KM needs 10 tank of gas, make it 200 a tank since UK rips you off, that's 2000 a year. I spend around 70 bucks to fill my 328 weekly and that's at CDN gas price.

Typical RS mentality... Just because you guys choose to live life a certain way, doesn't mean that others are automatically evil/bad/retarded. There's another world beyond your tiny bubble.

This guy is living on a cash only basis. With his mentality, he doesn't own anyone a penny. If he was really in a financial pickle, he could take out a loan. It would be against every single financial principle he knows, but if he was anywhere near ethical, he would take the loan and he would be approved using HIS house as collateral.

To the comment about his foresight, how can anyone even question this? This guy looked ahead from the age of six to buy a dream car. If you want something, save up for it and smack every non-believer on your way out of the bank with your loaded briefcase.

If a major repair was in order, what would the big deal be? The car is not his DD, he does not need the car to fixed ASAP. Maybe he chose to feed his family first and spend his pennies on epoxy to bond his knock-off kit together?

Whats this guy going to do if he ever loses his job?

Find another one duh!

Haha....props to this guy! He must have a very strong passion for Lamborghinis. Also, he doesn't seem like he is selfish and irresponsible for his family, so why not? Prioritizing at its finest!

Sell his fucking car maybe? I'm sorry, but I don't know any other way of asking this; Are people really this fucking dumb?

:Orly:

lol
I was gonna say sell the fuckin lambo, but didn't wanna state the obvious. :haha:

If i were him i'd stick some ads on my lambo to make a bit of extra money.

he should just rent the car or join an exotic car club like the one in Richmond. $30000 annual fee and $2000-$3000 monthly dues

I dont really see the big deal the 04 gallardo's are under 100k on ebay which is only abit more than say a new m3.

^ well he already owns his house and his Gallardo outright, so for food and utilities they could probably scrape by on his wifes income til he got a new job. worst case scenario he can sell the car or house for straight cash.

Gallardo's aren't that cheap in the UK and you would be nuts to buy a used 2004 Gallardo. The only model years the car is worth buying used is 2006 and up.

Whats so different about an 04 in the uk?

He never said they were different, he said they are more expensive there...revscene: reading comprehension at its finest.

Uninsure his car and live the EXACT same life then anyone else who loses their jobs would. In fact he's in better shape that some people because he has an asset worth $100,000 he could unload if he had to.

If the man is happy, leave him to his own devices.

It may not be your cup of tea, but it works for him, and their family is happy. Props to him for setting a standard / goal for himself and then planning / making it happen.

You only live once so make it a good one. Props to this guy getting it done

No he will end up on EI or what ever they have in the U.K. and end up on the cover of a bunch of papers for being the guy with a Lambo getting government assistance.

An asset that's worth less everyday and it's probably not that easy to sell a Lanbo in this economy. I know lots of people that could afford to by a Lambo buy there not stupid enough to do it. I bet this guy will be working till he's 6 feet under.

im just gna pretend i never read this. im in disbelief.
a LAMBO???... really?

No mortgage and ~$75K / yr household income. He's 40 and he owns a house and a lambo.. paid with cash for both. He's obviously more resourceful than most ppl. I have a feeling he's still got a bunch saved up.

The important thing is he bought the house first not the car.

Obviously the term "depreciating asset" doesn't mean anything to you.
Are you too busy smoking bongs in "kelpwna" to learn some life lessons?

you're funny. yes it'll depreciate but it's still worth something. very, very few cars actually increase in value, everyone knows that.
