rwd w/>400 hp in snow ftl
hmmm... if i was patient i could just wait 10 months and put a sick down payment on a gtr and have the same payments as the amg... i kind of think a gtr should be a second car though instead of an everyday car. idk |

The car price seth was based on mods as well. Buy out that lease you tramp.
GTRs are great and all, but not sure if I would want to own one. I keep pricing out lambo's for some unknown reason, it will take making partner and not having kids to make that a reasonable car for a summer daily driver. |

i would love a lambo but unless i have massive excess money laying around i keep that thought out of my head. maybe if one of my stupid investments blew up it would be a go but it doesn't seem likely while working or consulting for companies. idk about making partner but not having kids is doable. everyone that mentions how great having kids is, they're lying. misery loves company. expensive lil fuggers. |

Or move back with his p's. Ditch the 3 and buy his A4 for cash for awhile....

In that price range I'm partial to a Z06 w/ Z07 package. And why not a Porsche? If you want the quickest accelerating, highest aggregate grip, etc etc then a GTR is a pretty good bet. But there's a lot more to driving than bench racing magazine test numbers.

For me, the limit I would spend on a car is my salary while I have not kids (which is way the fucker higher than others would suggest). As good lambos run $250k+, only a partner's salary will cover that.
I dont know, my overall impression of the gtr reviews is lack luster. Yes, the numbers are great, but so many complaints about them breaking down with constant warranty work denials from nissan, i cant see that being a reasonable DD. If you wanted a toy that you could fund not having a warranty, sure. If I was going to drop 100k right now on a car, it would be between a porsche or aston martin. Both have a hell of a lot more class than a gtr, with performance well within my happy zone. |

Is it the wife, or the woman that has you tied down cause of the kids you share? Cause if it was just a woman you had a legal document with, it could be a simplish fix.
