I wouldn't kick myself too hard, that's just a market like 9.5% return per annum on that $1,600... not really a big deal unless you really wish you still had that particular car... I know I wouldn't mind having one.I've been kicking myself for selling my 70 Pontiac GTO for $1600 back in 79. I needed the money for tuition. Now an good condition GTO will worth no less than $20k in the market today.
Cool Erin.I wouldn't kick myself too hard, that's just a market like 9.5% return per annum on that $1,600... not really a big deal unless you really wish you still had that particular car... I know I wouldn't mind having one.
As for me keeping the NSX, yeah definitely. I really don't want to sound pretentious (because I'm NOT), but I'm pretty set on adding a Murci and an F-car in 4 to 7 years, but the NSX will always be so special to me... so I doubt we will part ways. It was/is my first dream car that became easily attainable and I was quick to snatch one up. Though, in all honestly, it no longer gives me the same thrill it once did (after all, it is just a car), it still emotionally means so much to me. It even taught me a lot about the relative unimportance of material possessions (though I won't get into explaining that). Just like I kept my first paystub, a printout of my first big hit in the market, and a printout of my first big loss, I will keep the NSX as my first material realization of a dream - that is an extremely powerful thing in my mind :biggrin:. Oh yeah, and the car is fun as hell. :wink:
Don't worry Frank, everybody on prime will know when I get another sports car :biggrin:!Cool Erin.
Let me know when you get a Murci or F-Car.
I'd have a Murci or F-car by now, but I just sunk a few hundred thou into an investment property.
Although I don't consider myself a "car nut", I love cars. If it weren't for my wife and kids I'd have a 5000 sq ft garage and a 1000 sq ft house instead of vice versa. I plan on having MANY vehicles (from highly desired exotics, to cool DD's, to one-off's) in my stable over the next few years, and the NSX will ALWAYS be right there up front.
The only other NSX that really would make me consider trade up is the "1" and only "1" NA2 GPW coupe in USA which happen to be a 2001 model, in another word it is one of kind. Wonder if that owner is here.
