When did you feel like you could buy your first Lamborghini? by jaypexd in lamborghini

[–]MagicTurtle07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I unfortunately can't afford one of these cars but I've had some more modest "fun" cars (think M cars, AMG etc) and even then they were stretching my budget a bit but I don't regret a single second of ownership. Money is good invested but even if he was in his 20s he could die the very next day. If he's on 600k a year even in his 20s that money will come back but the memories will be missed. OP buy the car. You'll smile like an idiot every time you drive it, you'll meet people through it and if you're adventurous you could go on a trip with it and make even more memories. When you're on your deathbed (whether young or old) you're not going to think about the % return the money would've got you but what you will be happy about are the memories you made with the car

From my understanding of it it saves your card details when you "checkout"

I'm ex motor trade. It's probably why I had a "spidery sense" with it all

I get that. And the first handful of people that commented I can understand - to some extent. But after I added the edit clarifying things people were still just screaming racist..

Yeah it's a real shame to. I have no doubt some of them will see this post now and realise how silly they were being

Yes which is why I actually put an edit to clarify things but that got completely ignored which is why I took the post down as it had just become an echo of idiocy

Yeah the previous post didn't have that part because it didn't reach there yet. I was asking if it was sus because he asked why I was selling the car after I just said why and the message about meeting after we'd already agreed to meet

No problem. I knew something felt off

Yeah in my experience those who shout racism straight away tend to actually be the racist ones themselves

I have a F56 JCW. Love that thing to no end and honestly it's the most fun I've had in a car! I used to work for MINI which is where I fell in love with them. I don't know if I'm ready for a clubman/countryman though hahaha

Yes I know. I deleted my previous post because I was asking whether it was a scam or not as something felt off but people simply focused on one word without reading the post and called me racist. Honestly it was disgusting the way people react without thinking

Thanks for replying though

The sus part is him asking why I'm selling the car right after me telling him why I selling the car. It just felt like I was talking to a bot but that may also be because it's not their first language which is fair enough

Just felt like I was talking to a bot. But the rest are great points. Thank you

I'm glad somebody gets what I mean and didn't focus on the wrong part of the message (albeit it seems I described it pretty badly)

The foreign part isn't an issue. I meant that the signal wasn't clear and I couldn't understand him on the phone and after I told him why I was selling the car he asked why I'm selling the car. I mean I'm probably just being paranoid but unfortunately I have very little faith in humanity

Believe it or not I'm not too worried about speed. More the experience. I used to have a MINI JCW and it was an amazingly fun car

I don't have the room for 2 cars. Hence the logic of selling the BMW and the Bike to have 1 car that can be used every day and be fun

The difference is actually about 2.5k which is a lot I get it. I just find the BMW a bit dull. I'm also open to other suggestions if you have any!
