Doubtful, he appears to have less than .5 acres and I'd be surprised if that home has more the 3 bedrooms. What's even more surprising than the home is how the hell did he/she got in line to get one; I heard the few that were made were sold well before they saw the dealerships to celebs & the very wealthy.



Edit: would you de-badge the LFA badge? I think I would.

Especially if everything is paid for. And if he has that kind of money, he likely has other investments...

Really? I mean, really? An LF-A at that kind of a house? Possibilities:

House is a relative's and the relative got some pix while the rich uncle was visiting
House is a rental owned by the owner of the LF-A--good financial sense
House is really the owner's and the owner just has an awful financial sense of things
Photoshop

Maybe he just doesn't care about having a huge house, some people just don't give a shit about things like that.

This is possible. For example, I have a pharmacist friend who owns a 2011 IS-F and his house is only $40K in a really rough neighborhood. He got robbed once and since then, bought a $600 steel door so that it'll never happen again, plus all his windows are barred! WTH!

This is what is wrong with society. Buy a car that is worth more than the house. What an idiot.

I guess I see things differently. If I didn't have a family I probably could afford one of those, but I still don't think I would spend the money on it.

the house doesnt look to be in a bad neighborhood. at the most a 3 bedroom house.
a single guy in his 40s or 50s with a love for cars.
at least his bitches dont talk back.

None of us know the real deal on it, but it could be one of his kids houses, or a 2nd or 3rd home.

I agree. I always find it somewhat amusing that one's financial well being and social status is determined by what type of house he/she lives in. Of course those with resources might aspire to own a large house in a great area, but others are more content to live a more comfortable, humble lifestyle. And lets not forget all those maxed out, living paycheque to paycheque, living in large house hoping to create the illusion of wealth.

If that is indeed his home, and he likes it, then all the power to him. If both it and the car is paid for and he enjoys his possessions, then he's a lot more secure than those that think he should live elsewhere.

I kind of agree, but a person that buys an LF-A is more concerned with comfort, gadgets and exclusivity than pure speed. That's why I can't buy the he isn't too concerned with his home scenario.

Maybe so. I don't know too much about them, but suspect that it's a technological masterpiece.

I have to admit that the more I look at it, the better it looks.

Given the housing crash of 2008 and the continual slide of home values, is owning a house as much of an asset now as it once was?

Ugly house, looks like 100k house.
3 bedroom? more like 2 at the most.
I don't care if the guy is 40s living single... still stupid decision to own a car that worth more than the house.
