Nice House vs nice Car? Which takes priority?
Discussion
Has anyone here ever actually made this decision? You can have one or the other? (Yes there is always a middle ground but let's pretend that doesn't exist)
Buy the dream home, (well get a massive mortgage)... Be unable to so much expensive car stuff?
Or
Much smaller mortgage on a far from crap house, but nothing spectacular, get a Ferrari/Lamborghini/etc

I living in my car whilst saving to start my own business. Does that count? 
I couldn't stand the house share I lived in and would rather be in my car, so thought sod it. Why not?!
Makes perfect sense! You can sleep in a car, but you can't take your house for a drive!I couldn't stand the house share I lived in and would rather be in my car, so thought sod it. Why not?!

As long as the house is in a nice area and has a decent garage, no problem.
Pretty subjective - you might have a budget of £150k for a house and a nice car, or a budget of £1M, obviously the guy with the big budget can take more of a compromise and still have a nice place.
Indeed, the "cheap" house is certainly not my dream place, but its far from crap, 2 minute walk from open fields, or a very pretty part of the Thames... It's "south Oxfordshire cheap" so not really cheap at all.

Comes with a garage, space for another, small garden, definitely nothing to grumble about.
The expensive place. Not quite the dream house (bit close to main road and shared access) but has two garages, space for more, loads of parking, views over fields, space for animals. Nice garden, a separate secluded plot of land with some trees and things...
I should "just about" be able to keep the TVR, but it will be a stretch, no vantage, f type. F360, or other flashness in my immediate future!
Just been to see the "nice house"
f
k me, it's nice...
But needs so much work, new everything required.. no nice cars for years and years!
Barn for 3 cars, and a double garage... It's like a red rag to a bull "buy cars to put in me"
Current owner had two absolutely mint old landies in there, and 80 and a 90 I think... No expert though.
Wonder if I can get him to chuck them in?
