How much $$$ is acceptable for this hobby?

Honest question; do you know what a CTS-V is?

 

The real question, JP, is whether you meet the standard to own a CTS-V. Although Cadillac doesn't state it in the official literature, I think you have to meet at least one of the following criteria:

 

1) have already retired, or at least don't work full-time

2) vacation in Florida multiple times each year

3) owned an F-body more than a decade ago

 

At least, every CTS-V owner I've met hits at least one of those. :p

see above. wisconsin is very good in terms of giving equal custody. i was very concerned how i was going to be productive and earn the same living, have a worthwhile practice, with being a good father, and legitimately doing 50% custody. it is HARD fucking work when i have the kids and have to work a full time job. i just buckle down, man-up, and prepare my ass off.

 

that's why i justify buying stupid shit i don't really need.

 

Thought you might LOL at this:

I don't have a problem spending that much on a car though. Sure I'd love to not have a car payment but I wouldn't love what I would be driving.

Is it good or bad that my car payment for 2 cars is within a hundred dollars of my mortgage payment?

 

Unless I was guaranteed to make money I could not live with myself if my car payment=my mortgage, unless I still lived in a shack in Cleveland. I would just feel like I was throwing money away even in the long run it that was not necessarily the case

Wrong. I might be retired from the military, but I still work 40 or more hours a week. I've never lived in Florida, and have only vacationed there 3 times in my life. And I've bever owned an f-body.

You retired and then went back to work. I think that still puts you in the demographic. I don't consider any of those three criteria to be bad things, BTW. Do you?

Hmmmm, after figuring out the financial aspect, maybe I should start a new thread: "Am I old enough for a Vette? " I owned a V and fit the "owned an FBody" criteria. I am ready to pick my next toy...

 

Who cares? Vette is my next car purchase. I've owned an f-body. :D

Congrats... for your 2nd child!

 

Buy a Viper.

 

Thanks!

 

And, thanks! :p

 

Here is where I am at-

 

If a Gen 2 V pops up for under 25k clean, and not salvaged

 

or

 

A gen 3 Viper for under 30k clean, and not salvaged

 

I'm probably stroking a check that day without hesitation. I cant lose on the deal, so it makes the decision easy. The Viper Market spiked as of late, so Viper time may not happen until fall.winter. I jsut wont pay market for, well, anything!! Maybe I am part Jew? :lolguy:

Get on the Viper Facebook page, a few in those categories popped up a while back. Then again, for everyone one that's reasonable....10X that owners are asking STUPID prices for them... :lolguy:
