The biggest bubble bursting right now is the 991.2 GT cars. The used market is getting flooded and no one is buying. A good lesson on why you never pay ADM for a non-limited car. | Do you mind elaborating on the Porsche 991.2 used-markets bubble?
Interested to hear more.

No one is willing to pay crazy over MSRP on the 991.2 GT's. There's 60+ 2018 GT's listed right now and some sellers have been dropping the price gradually but still can't sell. Porsche built a lot of GT's this time around to combat flippers and it's working.
Bottom line is supply is outweighing the demand which is bad news for flipper but good news for buyers.

However, haters gonna hate. Financial success brings the haters out.
This is more prejudice against the wealthy. If you're the wealthy guy, man it up and move along. | that truck driver would not have said a thing if it were an old white guy driving the car... it's not just about jealousy.

Now that, my friends, is stereotyping, yes?
Now, if that old white guy had an ultra hot supermodel in the passenger seat, then I'd be all jelly.............

I can’t believe how fast the market is cavitating

I can’t believe how fast the market is cavitating | The people who actually track them (and take advantage of the PDK) already own them. The casual enthusiast prefers a manual GT car, hence not the showroom RSs.

Pimply face Asian punk could be a fn'ing self-made megastar somewhere. Point is you're stereotyping and profiling people. You don't know people's story, don't slap a label on them.
Assigning respect, jeer to people because they own/ do not own material things is a joke.

You can vurtue signal all you want, but I'll stick with assigning my own profile and judging a book by it's cover. Sure, I'll allow myself to be casually surprised when I'm wrong. But I'll still be right 9 out of 10 times thinking some chinese kid in a Lambo is a fuerdai as opposed to an internet genius. Or when some 400 lbs motherfucker with tattoos and piercings is approaching, chances are he isn't there to be my friend.
It worked for our ancestors, when Attila the Hun came over the hill he wasn't there to borrow sugar. So why change now?

Ah fuck, I'm sorry guys I may have started it with this guy. This was like 2 years ago. I was bombing down Westminster Hwy in a M3 heading toward the 2 rd bridge and this same guy no signal cut across my lane so he could go to the Chevron. We were driving side by side and I was staring him down and he gave me the finger and yelled fuck you so I said something along the lines of hey faggot learn how to drive, what the fuck are you doing in Richmond go back to to the trailer park. Might have called him a white trash also. I didn't get to see his reaction but he looked pretty pissed lmao
