  1. Exactly!! a point or two interest for being 725 vs 750 can add up quick in interest. I got errors Ive been trying to correct forever and the credit bureaus could not care less
  2. this is the EXACT advice Ive given people my age for YEARS when they ask about being successful and how they can be too. Almost everyone of them then shakes their head and says how they cant give up the pussy and alcohol.....almost as if my advice is a joke. I respond with, "then you don't deserve to be successful".....they never like that remark at all, but its 100% the truth.
  3. As someone who has owned several exotics and has done so at a young age it is by far more pleasurable to have a Lambo at 20 where you can actually enjoy it rather than waiting till youre 50. You only live once, might as well get the most joy out of it while you can. Everyone told me how dumb I was to buy it so young, and a years later I still love and enjoy it and it has gone up in value. All the other recommendations of buying a home, investments etc later turned out to be of far less joy than the cars have been, and Ive made more on the cars as well
  4. oh, I know for a fact this is NOT the first....or second time you have heard someone complain about Evans......
  5. yup, sold for much less back then too. Dealer REFUSED to allow a PPI to be done, orginal owner ate up the clutch in something under 3000 miles. Would definitely be VERY cautious looking at the car, especially as the guy that ended up buying claimed how wonderful and amazing it was....then didn't drive it much in 2 years and is looking to dump it now.
  6. the P1 is impressive, the drive of it, not so much
  7. difficult?!?!? please, today they are all come with huge ground clearance, cup holdings, comfort packages, nav, lift systems, lots of head room and viability. Sounds like a bunch of nancys. People got around just fine a few decades ago in theirs, todays exotics are like Mercedes. People just lease more car than they can afford and cant take the hit. I would say maybe the maintaince, but when its leased and under warranty you don't have much expense. Its people buying the cars to show off and tell others they have that aren't really interested in driving them aside from smashing the gas on the highway for a few seconds now and then to blast over 100 and that's it. Its a fashion accessory, not something that's a passion where the cost is a mere cost for the experience. I wouldn't touch a low mile garage queen over a normal-high mileage car that's been taken care off even if the garage queen was cheaper. Ill never understand why a garage queen carries a premium, to me its just paying extra so you will have to pay even more to fix the car when you actually drive it. Its a huge expense and headache waiting to happen.
  8. I speced one out. Only 6 paid options....I HATE the endless porshce options. $88k
  9. you make many good, valid, and well thought out points I would say however the 80s Countach owner was nothing like todays Aventador and Hurican owner. I do think many were driving enthusiast, maybe not in the senc of Porsche or Ferrari. If you want pure driving you need a race car, period. NO street car can compare at all, so that neuters things quite a bit. While a good deal of *0s Countach buys were the chest hair and gold chain crowd they still were interested in driving that things out in the back roads and country, they did not come on message boards or wherever they went and discuss how easy it was to drive to work, or dinner, or showing off at the trendy club or coffee shop. The also sure as hell dint lease cars, get loans, worry about depreciation or trade in values. they wrote the check and had a blast in it, they weren't worried about trading it in in two years when Lamborghini has their require tiny little gimmicky change to create new sales to the same peole looking to show off two years ago wanting to one up current owners today with a special "nero edition" or "Louis Viton" or whatever BS they spew up. The Countach did evolve and got flashier for sure, but it was typical Italian passion and flair and oomph, not " we need to grow the 4th quarter profit, what body kit can we design for a car and charge 10x more for it" Theres plenty of topics on here for people crying about how hard the SL shifts or rough the single clutch is....please. Those people just want a car as boring as an Audi or MB with the flash of a Lambo. They want nothing to do with the driving experience
  10. that's because teenagers like whatever comes out whether its deserving of praise or not. Its rather easy to claim how great something is when you have no chance in hell of buying it. When you have to means to buy one and pass, its more than nostalgia. teenagers today couldn't drive a manual car is their life depended on it, that alone negates any worthless opinion they have. They can just go play Forza of Gran Turismo and worship the GTR as far as Im concerned. lets face it, with the current clientele of manufactures like Lamborghini, Ferrari, etc they could take a turd and stick a badge on it and it would sell. These are not cars made for the pure joy of driving, these are cars made to sell like Toyotas. I doubt it will ever change. On the bright side theres a few smaller boutique manufactures out there to get this joy from.
  11. exactly They are not special anymore. They are boring. they have become fashion accessories where they use to be all about passion. As an owner of nearly a decade these new cars simply bore me. All video game and gimics, all computer controlled everything. no driving talent needed, just point and go.
  12. Top Gear is right. Lamborghini went from maing cars to selling cars. Making something with passion, to just making money. :-/
  13. Wrong! its a VERY big deal
  14. on one hand you set yourself up for this and ignored all the huge warning signs. That said it doesn't mean you deserve to be victimized by a crock. Ive had dealer refuse PPIs and I knew that was an immediate sign to walk away. The moment you show up and something has been misrepresented you should walk away. If they are willing to lie to you about things that readily and apparently off, you can only assume theres more beneath the surface they are hiding and you will later find. you got ripped bad, get rid of it before it costs you endless more money and headaches
