4k in wheel on a 15k car is much more regarded than 15k wheels on a 250k car.

It's no different, just happens to be for rich ppl.
In both cases there's nothing wrong with doing it cause you think it looks cool. Just be honest about why and spare everyone the BS about how it's "functional"

That's what makes it cool, though; they 100% race parts. Everyone was asking why it's so expensive, that's why.

If you want to drive an actual race-car on the street, this is pretty damn close to the top.

I go by underscore now: i also have a car with a large coolant leak:



Picked this up thanks to GS8, something i would normally never even search, buuuuuuuuuut, it has 12,300kms and the price was cheaper than 1 week in mexico.

The catch? Just like underscore, my entire driveway and street is green in color lol.

Il post some more pics later, if your lucky il bring it out to the meat on 25th

I went to look at a 992.1 Carerra T recently and it was sold as an asset that doesn't depreciate, and I wouldn't be surprised if the sales training is for them to sell it as an investment. The Carerra T is cool in stick, but it's not a collectible with the base engine imo. With the way taxes are, there's just no way you can make up 40k of taxes.

I think it was in just general. He talked about buying one of the cars they already had in stock then being put on the list to get one of the more special ones.

Ya it looks very period correct haha!

In elementary school I had a friend whose house looked like that. Wood paneling across the walls and ceiling.

It's like a throwback retro-nouveau kinda theme, I dig it

The BYD yangwang u9 just went 496.22 km/h (308.33 mph) setting a new production car record. It also did a sub 7 second lap at the ring. Price 236K USD. Game over.

The fuel cell is every 5 year
Trans/suspension/engine every 40-60 hours

Running cost is 200-400k every year or so if you actually race it

Over priced trash. All of them. Especially the bitch ass gt3… 100k-200k more than the T for what ?! A lousy 1000rpm more and a hole in the exhaust ? The tone sounds the same.

Cup Cars: Maintenance is generally based on usage hours, not mileage. Some items are replaced based on age intervals.
