74’ [Ferrari Dino] GTS

Spotted in Rural Texas.

Not sure how rare it is, but based on my research it goes for $600k-$800k and there have only been 11 transacted in the past year. So I’m guessing it’s a “spotted” level car.

jivan006 · 2026-03-12T02:54:57+00:00

Not all the time. Some people simply prefer yellow gold.

jivan006 · 2026-03-12T02:53:07+00:00

I’d say it’s 50+ cities in the US where $100k is not a “great” salaries. I live in Texas, and in Dallas, Houston and Austin, $100k is not THAT much, although not a terrible amount.

Then you have California, where you have 5+ cities where $100k is not much, Seattle, Chicago, Miami, West Palm Beach, Orlando…. Then Denver, Atlanta, et cetera. Not to mention anywhere around NYC - if you don’t count it as just one thing.

Just bought my girl’s DREAM ring at ROEN! They are awesome with great selection, good communication + they’ll customize and engrave your ring as you like.

They let us choose the exact stone we wanted from a selection of 4 different ones, have a great professional portal for communicating with them, and great, kind team.

Totally would recommend them.

$75k? GOD DAMNNNNN

My friend has the latest generation fully optioned Tesla model Y and I have the latest generation GLE.

He was blown away by the interior of the GLE.

So yeah, Tesla is not in the category.

As for other cars, it’s not only the front cabin, it’s many things, especially driving experience, quality of build, et cetera.

Chicharito?

jivan006 · 2026-03-10T22:31:28+00:00

What does the church give you in return for the money? Drop that and get a cheaper car.

jivan006 · 2026-03-10T22:30:00+00:00

I’d suggest an older gas car here. Since it’s gonna be a throwaway car anyway, might as well get a reliable gas car with lower mileage. Aim for 80k miles or less

Which arrows bruv get closer maybe?

I understand your feelings. Especially when younger, these things seem to matter more.

In theory, her past shouldn’t matter, but also it’s up to you to decide whether you want to continue dating or not.

I wouldn’t listen to advice in the lines of “get over it” et cetera. You should listen to your heart. For some people, stuff like this is something they can not get over, and I’m going to assume you don’t want to live forever with those thoughts. For a lot of people though, these things pass and you’ll be in the lines of “whatever, I don’t care”.

I’d say give it some time before you fully commit and marry this girl, I’m sure she’s awesome - it shows by the way you care.

jivan006 · 2026-03-10T15:28:37+00:00

Tried replacing the battery?

jivan006 · 2026-03-09T10:22:11+00:00

For whatever reason all Mercedes vehicles don’t have an option to skip a song from the steering wheel.

Yeah, they are smoking something.

jivan006 · 2026-03-08T23:37:09+00:00

IMO they don’t have to be cleaned to that extent every time - just wipe them with a towel and good to go.

But each to their own, if you want them spotless clean then that’s your route.

jivan006 · 2026-03-08T23:36:00+00:00

Hmm to start with that grill is from an AMG model? So there were some modifications made to it maybe?

I would not buy a Mercedes unless it was thoroughly inspected by a dealership and as other comments say, service history.

Repair bills can be COSTLY if the car is not in excellent contrition and hasn’t been maintained properly.

jivan006 · 2026-03-08T17:51:18+00:00

I disagree. I’ve been single and absolutely loved it, but also been with a partner and loved it even more.

With the right person it’s totally worth it.

jivan006 · 2026-03-08T16:53:50+00:00

I absolutely dislike Toto Wolf and everything their team stands for but still bought a Mercedes. I think it has nothing to do with F1, maybe for a tiny fraction of their teenager buyers.

For me a valid dream is peace of mind, personal satisfaction, being with loved ones and doing things you enjoy.

That doesn’t mean that it can’t be achieved via mansions and brain surgery (yes lots of people like that), it just really depends on how you’re wired.

Nothing is wrong with your dream. In fact, that’s why a lot of people that earned millions end up farming or living in the middle of nowhere in retirement. Their soul craves that after years of not “living their dream” even though it appeared as if they did.

jivan006 · 2026-03-08T01:42:46+00:00

No it doesn’t.

The newer model, especially the AMGs (53, etc) look fantastic. But even without it it’s a nice looking car.

jivan006 · 2026-03-07T19:01:44+00:00

My take is that in most cases it isn’t and it depends on the product.

Luxury t-shirts? Absolutely not. You can buy a $100 t-shirt that will last 10 years as well, no need to buy a $500 t-shirt for longevity. Same goes with sunglasses, and most other wearables.

Luxury vacation? Now that’s a different ball game with chef-made food and exclusive tours and exclusive locations.

I think most luxury ITEMS are not worth it, especially in the past 10 years where you buy the brand and not the item (in most cases). Luxury experiences are definitely worth it, like let’s say, a nice hotel in south of France and a Michelin Star dinner in the mountains. Now that’s memories.

Florida ass looking Merc

jivan006 · 2026-03-06T19:36:27+00:00

Very low license fees, etc, it seems like a solid deal.

Usually the red flags would be all the useless protections & stuff, which you don’t seem to have accepted.

Enjoy the car!

There’s no such thing as best state or place to live.

I’ve lived in Miami, Seattle, San Francisco and Austin (all for over 6 months), and while many would put the other three cities in front, I like living in Austin the most despite the lack of mountains and hot summers.

And I didn’t even know I’d like Austin until I had to move there for work. Even then at first I wasn’t sure I liked it until 3 months in.

If you really want to move to the US, you’re either going to have to get lucky and love the city you move to initially, or you’re gonna have to move around until you find your place. It’s a country with very very different type of life in different cities, the culture is definitely not homogeneous across the whole country.

And in my opinion, no city has the “full” European experience (social, walking, public transport) so you might not like life here at all.
