After being laid off and having to work crappy jobs just to keep my family a float I realize that some of the material things that are cool really dont mean much its a lesson Iwill never forget. I love cars and thats fine dont know if I would own themall I dont wanna worriy about my R8 getting a scratch or my LFA getting stolen. If things would be taken care of I can find more than enough enjoyment in the cars in 40 grand range. And if I buy used there are alot of cars I can buy (sheesh C5 zo6 at 17 grand is quite nice i just need to upgrade the interior and im set) If I must drive ferraris and GTrs and such I will go to one of those schools that let you drive them all and get it out of my system. Not knocking anyone for there choices just letting you know mine and how I think.
You are absolutely right. One actually seeing & being through some hardship will certainly be an eye opener. I agree that when one gets older he/she has more responsibilities, life changing events that goes on in one's life, then their actual needs/wants drastically change. I know that the more expensive the car is the more anal & paranoid one will actually be. I would be furious & probably be a Freak-out Freda with a high-end car driving on the freeway, or parking it somewhere.
