I think Fleece was trying to point this out.....
^ those 2 posts together... (I assume he wouldn't buy a very expensive house for the same reason he doesn't buy very expensive cars)
It sure does compute. A house is used by
at least 4 people (he said he has a brother - maybe more siblings) for
at least 12 hours a day.
Even in car centric America, you spend maybe 3 hours a day in your car, and that's only you, most of the time you're driving alone.
You get a lot more from a nice house for a lot more of the time, so it makes perfect sense to spend a lot more on a house than on a car.
Also, a house holds its value a lot better than a car, and a million and change isn't really a lot for a house. 1.4 million bucks is 930k euros, and I'll be up front, I wouldn't even bother to buy a house for less than 500 grand around here, it's probably shit. My father owns two houses, and drives a 1993 Volvo station wagon, for fucks sake. When I still had a car, my car was worth twice what my dad's car was worth, even though he probably earned 100 times the money I did.
Topic 2:
Also, if the kid's parents have money, how can he fucking help it? What's he supposed to do, move out and live under a bridge? His parents worked hard to get where they are, and are entitled to give their kids however much money they want (doesn't mean he's entitled to get it though), and who is anybody here to say anything the fuck against it? This is America, it's a free country, the American dream is to get a fucking shedload of money, and anybody who has a problem with that can just fuck right off to Iraq or communist Europe, and get lots of money that the rich people have to pay as taxes.
Topic 3:
6 seconds to 100km/h is pretty nice, just keep it the way it is for a few months, and go to a nice driving school to learn to unleash the full potential of the car. How many times do you expect to pull up to a traffic light, roll down your window, rev the engine a few times, look over, and see a guy looking back at you, revving his engine? It's not a very likely situation, you'll have a lot more fun learning how to enjoy the twisties (I heard, contrary to popular opinion, even America has twisties somewhere). Oh yeah, and if you still want more, new wheels and tires.
Anyways, hope you aren't to put off by some of the dickheads here in the topic, new members are always welcome here.
