What are the cars (given the money) you'd actually buy?
Discussion
..thinking about this earlier, if I was a considerably richer fellow, I'm not sure Id actually sink my money into a mega quick super car type thing. For UK roads, I think I definitely would buy something eclectic like a Lotus Evora (the non turbo model), or perhaps the Porsche Cayman, which, having driven one, seems such a sweet car and not too quick for the road. What about you?
It isnt just money really though is it, having the spare time and the space to store them is a big part of it, it isnt always down to money as you get people with plenty of cash but no space and those with little cash but loads of space, time wise it is easy to end up with more vehicles than occasions to drive them, it is a bit like gadgets, as a kid I had a Commodore 64 that got loads of use, I knew its every feature, now I have so many computers, tables, phones etc I dont get the best out of them and always feel like they own me rather than the other way around.
Even now with cars, we have three but only do a few k a year between them, I cycle and have several bikes but use a mountain bike most days due to the state of the roads so I reckon the wealthier have a stable of cars and a Range Rover as a daily, then never use the things they have tucked away as it is usually a bit of an effort to get them started extracate them from storage, then we have the insurance, tax and MOT.
It is the same with houses, we can only live in one, and then only in so many rooms of a large one.
I like to use thins and get the best from them, to get an affinity with it, so I reckon that if you get a car you enjoy, or a couple dont dilute it by having too many as thye just become trinkets or trophies, you have to put something of yourself into them not a once a year drive for an MOT.
I get the most satisfaction car wise from improving the one I have and have learnt to not be always craving the next, bigger, faster better one as if you are enjoying what you have, be satisfied.
