    Interesting.

    Sounds like fun to make the drive out to Van yearly for the service. I could do it during my annual vacation, drop off and pick up in 2-3 weeks.

    Anyway, I am who I am lol an untucked shirt (tailored tho lol), jeans and chucks. I don't know how to dress to impress so looks like AB is a no go haha

    I need to do something financially irresponsible anyway to keep my mind occupied and something to chase and figured a stupid expensive car is the way to go
    Do more traveling, cruises, volunteering etc. Play more sports, pick up a new hobby. The window is open for you and while doing something you love you might meet some cool people. You have the $ and the time so the opportunity is great. Some people want to go but can't because of finance, health, time. Very well can have lasting memories.

    Each drive would cost you $15k in depreciation.

    Before FoA, people would truck their cars to Van for service.

    A lot of people still do.

    The problem with Ferrari isn't the cars themselves, but the local dealership. Shit runs down hill, if you know what I mean...

    So it's really that hard to buy a Ferrari? That's stupid.

    The new California replacement looks so nice too. If I ever bought this baller, I might have to go Mclaren or Audi.

    Let's see what the mid engine Vette looks like though!

    Max, any love for the R8? Value wise it's the leader in Canada in my opinion.
    "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."

    Servicing should be no issue.

    R8 is a great value if you don't value driving enjoyment.

    I test drove a 2017 V10 Plus, and loved it. The V10 at full song definitely satisfies "driving enjoyment".

    Saw one in this color yesterday at Crowfoot. Looks great in person.

    Too bad the contrast with the black is so ugly. Probably why people want a black one too.

    To be fair I haven't driven the latest ones. The handling dynamics was boring to me. Way too easy to drive.

    But then you'd be driving a Honda and not a Ferrari.

    Well, there is a reason other than cost that I got what I got.

    Many times exotics, it's not the cost of entry, but the cost of exit that will get ya.

    Ferrari's games that they play with their new cars / allocations play a huge part in their residual values. That, and the new cars going turbo and the subsequent affect on the sound have bolstered values on the 458s recently.

    On the other hand, the NSX has not been well received in the market and resale will likely suffer. Aside from Ferrari, buying almost any sports car is a (very) rich man's game... Takes a big wallet (and balls) to be ok eating the depreciation on your average Vantage, R8, AMG GT, Huracan, 911, etc...
