sometimes these guys have no real idea of the big world out there - their lack of worldliness kinda reminds of the movie 'deliverance' j:

Buying two Clubsports after winning $10million is a smart move IMO. Hire a Ferrari for the weekend occasionally and buy some race weekends in the GT championship but don't have money tied up in ownership and running costs of supercars...

Rocket, Its all about relativity. You own an R36 worth circa $65k and for the sake of argument, lets say your salary is $100k (say car = 65% of salary).

now if you just scored $10M and spent $130k on two clubsports, thats 1.3%.

with that sort of cash available, i'm thinking you could safely relax and afford to cough up a bit more for cars.

and besides, my comment was more focussed on their blinkered vision rather than their fiscal management skills j:

We have some hard core enthusiats here!

I don't realy think you guys get the whole car obbsesion thing, you just don't know that love people feel for their cars.

Besides that, you would look 10 times more poofy driving a Fezza than you would driving a HSV. :nana: Dont get me wrong it would be fun but id still jump in to a mk2 at the end of the day.

hahahaha... You missed my point too. You can turn a decent amount of money ($10million) into an even BIGGER decent amount of money if you DON'T waste it on exotic super cars.

Regarding my circumstances, you're sort of close but the tax breaks from the car essentially mean it almost pays for itself after 5 years. :)

Guess who will be getting some :dancer: :spy: :jackinthebox: :clap: :biggrin: that night.

wow i must be the most boring person on the planet if i won 10mil i wouldnt even buy a super car. id be very happy with the up coming r20t,.......heavilly modded of course :biggrin: super cars just atract far to much thivery and idiots wanting to drag you at the lights.

though if i won 100mil thatd be differant,............ id be thinking f1 mclarren, or a nice stallion or lambo (the obvious choices)

as for the original joke i must be the most thickest person on the planet,........i seriously dont get it.
