This makes my Porsche feel inadequate
My neighbor has something new parked outside his home. I was walking my dog and saw it out front a few days ago, then yesterday he passed by me in it. It's magnificent. Makes my 991 seem rather Corolla-ish.
And I'm pretty sure this is the car. https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/a...-f12tdf/625401
There's play money and then there is REAL play money.
seen in the 'hood.

They are certainly impressive and pretty to look at. I rather keep my very reliable and low key-ish Pork. I like it when my cars start in the morning.

Well if that car does not impress you, than you are not a car person. I am on Ferrari # 8 and Porsche #44. If you have ever driven a 812 superfast you would understand. Modern Ferrari's are pretty reliable. My 458 spider has 23K miles (is modified) and runs as well as the 2 911's and Cayman S I own now.

My brother and I have owned over 100 Ferraris and maybe 30 Porsches. I can tell you that when I drive my Porsche to the Ferrari dealer not one person will even ask me about the car. When I drive the Ferrari to the Porsche dealer everyone comes out to look and ask questions.

Nice car no doubt.... I am a car guy..... a Ferrari passes me by I tell my gal, "My lottery car."
Then a McLaren, again, "My lottery car."
A Lamborghini, "My lottery car."
A '73 Carrera RS or a 356 Carrera 2.... "My lottery car."
My point is I like them all, and I'm going to have to hit on a big payout if I ever win the lottery......
It's ok to appreciate what others have, but you have to appreciate what you have too.

I'm getting to a point in my life where I'm pretty content with what I have, and I don't have the desire/jealousy to acquire or accomplish what others might have. It's been a liberating process for sure.
Doesn't mean I won't still YOLO $TSLA calls and let $SPCE take me to the moon, though
