I'm kinda considering upping my budget and getting two cars. The ones I'm most enthusiastic wouldn't make for an ideal DD, and there might be a 60 mile commute in my future. Right now daydreaming about an NA Miata and an early 2000s Avalon.

Got some more info on this, the car is currently on display at Ferrari in Italy. The couple is going to see about getting it transported to Chicago for the wedding in October. Obviously there are some serious logistics considerations for such an endeavor, that's why it's a "maybe". They are friends with the owner. They are also going to have other cars present, such as Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder, 63 Eldorado (wedding car), and some rare Corvettes. I told them I won't be the primary shooter for the wedding, and instead I would be focusing on magazine-style photos with the cars and the couple, and given my past work this is what they were expecting.

Wife's Avant is paid off.

New car itch is hitting us. Eff.

The car seems to be trading around $25k private $21500 trade in. Hmmmm

Nahhhhhhh house first!

Majofo

Costco

House first

Car paid off, that's perfect!

Yeah.. we have been house shopping for awhile. So hard to find one that we both want. haha

Yumcha

Okay okay okay. We will forgive you for one mistake: picking a Subaru over an M3 (well, not really)...but, if you pick a car over a house, well, that's just like...daily -worthy here.


So, buy the house first.

JS + XES

Yes, for sure.

Kinda want to spice up the Avant a little though. Not really sure what to do about it.

Yumcha

But, truly, I do know what you mean by having an itch for another ride once the car payments are done.



Ask me how often I go to the BMW/Lexus/Mercedes-Benz sites to build a car now that the FX is all paid for.

charliemike

Houses are overrated ... Live in the back of a E63 AMG S wagon!

charliemike

I hear the Mini CVT is really smooth

Yumcha

Go suck on an Avant's exhaust pipe.

00TL-P3.2

Or a very late model Maybach 62S
Curtains, power reclining seats, refrigerator, central locking, anti-suicide trunk closer, oh & a whopping V12 under the hood. How many houses come with all that?
