How long until you got your dream car or a great car?
Discussion
As a new driver years ago the Opel Superboss was the car to have. I had a 1.6monza gsi which was great but. It was never a superboss.
Next dream car was the r34 skyline and now they aren't dropping in price but are climbing in maintenance costs, rust etc so that's not an economical choice anymore. Also, modern regular cars offer similar power figures as the ageing Godzilla.
My dream car of today is a vxr8. Bloody love the sound and look of these! Insurance isn't too bad but now I'm a little older it's life that's stopping me.
Getting married next year and then kids. By the time I can realistically afford such pleasures, I'll be onto another dream car that's outta my budget. :/
I hate this game sometimes!
On a plus side, I have my dream bike and 2 years later it still ticks all the boxes and gets loads of looks!
I'd sell both my balls for a vxr8 and on the plus side of that is I can't have kids so more cash for fuel

39 years old when I got my VXR8, so a wait of 21 years from passing my test to dream car.
I'd say to the OP just go for it if there's any chance, life's to short. I used a huge amount of man maths to make mine workable with the missus.
I was determined to be in a VXR8 before I turned 40 years old. Used the mantra that even if I only run if for a year at least I’ve done it. Still got it 3.5 years later although it’s nearly broke me (or the other way round!) Just can’t get rid now and can’t imagine what I’ll ever change it for apart from another.
Nearly broke you?! In a bad way? As someone who ownes one, apart from rose tinted goggles, how are they as an everyday car?I'd say to the OP just go for it if there's any chance, life's to short. I used a huge amount of man maths to make mine workable with the missus.

Considering I do maybe 5-7k miles a year, I don't think fuel cost will bother me. I do the same on the bike at 27mpg.
I'm neither a hooligan on the brakes either but do love straigtliners!
