F@ck it, sell everything and buy a Gallardo

I didn't quite know what to make of this story until I read this:

“I can't afford to buy something like that and drive it on the weekend,” he says. “The difference between being materialistic and not is when you use what you have.”

I started to like the guy after that.

I drove new Porsches and BMWs since 1990 and the most mileage I ever put on any one car was may be 10,000 miles , so I was an Idiot.

Just because I could afford to get a new car every 2 years and did have a weekend sports car, looking back was not a good idea.

Sure I drove some of the nicest cars made but I never really DROVE them.

I lost soooooooooooooooo much $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ on those cars trading every 2 years even w, in some cases only 3,500 miles on my like new trade.

I would have loved to have taken my '95 Porsche Carrera S out and driven it the way the car was built to be driven .......but I thought it was a keeper and I was going to baby it so that it would be like new for as long as possible.

18 months later I was giving the car back to the Dealer I bought it from plus a check for $26,000 .

I was more into motorcycles and no longer wanted to have that weekend car that cost around $1300 a month.

In the end would I have rather bought a Ferrari which I always wanted, and drove it for 10 years and may be spent the same amount of $$$$$$$$........... I really can't answer that question even in hind sight.

I guess I was enjoying the cars to an extent .

I know lots of other people thought I was .

if ... when you drove off in the new car after dropping 26,000... you smiled... then it was worth it IMO
