most cars depreciate tho and houses tend to appreciate.. i mean if u have all sorts of money then who cares, but if you're choosing between a 1.3m home and a normal car or an 800k home and a 500k car... should be a no brainer.

also you can mortgage your 1.3m home. i have no idea what kind of payment terms you have on a 500k ferrari, im too poor to know, but it sure as hell aint 4% over 25 years.

About 20 years ago there used to be a trailer park here that had at least 3 brand new Corvettes parked in it at different trailers. It's not for everyone but I can respect the commitment to the priorities lol.

Yeah for the ST185 the RC had loads of differences. I think there's something like 100 in total. Everything from big stuff like the hood, bumper, intercooler, turbo, rear diff, ECU mapping, etc, down to little things like the rear crash bar having only one tow hook to save weight and the springs being stiffer.

For the ST205 the only differences on the WRC were non-functional hardware for antilag, water injection, and intercooler sprayer systems, and the rear spoiler riser blocks being standard (they were optional on the regular 205). You can make the intercooler sprayer work (my RC has that too) and maybe the water injection, but not the antilag stuff.

F06 M6 Gran Coupe

it just looks so sleek.. that's pretty much it. Would never own one tho bc that S63 is horrendous.

CT5V-Blackwing

no not the 6 cylinder one, the one with the V8, but would never own one bc its probably unobtanium

CT6V-Blackwing

also unobtanium

i think a 500k ferrari lease rate was something retarded like 5k a month.

This one's in California for sale on bring a trailer right now:

If there was one like this in Canada for ~$60k I think I'd ditch the Mustang in heartbeat and scoop it up.

We just don't have the weather for it, it's still pretty cold to drop the top, if we had higher temps and not raining all the time. I've always wondered what people do with cars with no tops

I never drove the Mustang if there was even so much as a hint of rain anyways. Victoria also gets a lot less rain than Vancouver.
