The long version of how I went from GT-R+G37 to 370z is in the thread I posted a few days back, but basically sold the GT-R and G37 when we built our new house. Since we turned our old place into a rental, I didn't have any cash out toward the new one, so some sacrafices had to be made to have 20% down on a 500k house. Other people may have sold investments or took 401k loans, but I opted to sell my toys.

+1........ I would have more than likely done the same, but I would have thought long & hard about it. I wouldn't want to take out a loan, or take money from my 401k & get hit with penalties. Hopefully you had fun & enjoyed the toys while it lasted. IMHO having a nice or nicer house is far more important than driving an expensive car. Yeah if things are taken care of & money isn't an issue, then get that sweet a** ride.
