    I'm 90% sure you hate him because he appears to have more money than you do. Or is it that he knows what he wants in a car and has the patience to wait for it?

    How did the straightpipes guys get that gig anyway? I remember in their early videos it was just a bunch of young guys taking cars out but they managed to get their hands on a bunch of high end cars and now they have almost a million subscribers.

    You can get an allocation for a huracan evo RWD right now.

    Probably a good option to own a supercar for a few years and lose next to nothing or potentially make a little.

    Thinking about it, but it’s the same car as the RWS essentially.

    Lamborghini Calgary has a nice green one right now...

    That color looks a lot like Viper Green Metallic, the color of my Golf R. I wonder if it’s the same paint code.

    LOL. If I hated people because just because they have more than I do, then I would hate majority of the population. It hardly bothers me what someone else has, my focus always is what I can do for myself. That being said, it could be the second part - my lack of patience/ADD that is.

    My dream of having an exotic car dealership some day will always be in the back of mind whether I ever do anything about it or not.

    Sold the RWS yesterday. Ended up getting a lot more than I paid for it. Pretty stoked about that.

    Crazy market out there right now.

    Wow. That's great. Many congrats!

    Is it that specific car you had or all cars of that caliber out there? I thought you were going to consign it at August but then what went down?

    I've stopped shopping for a fun car. It's more insane than the RE market. Probably look again over the winter and spring once the post-covid demand settles down.

    Thanks guys!

    It seems to be all exotic cars from my limited research. Most of the ones I’ve been looking at have gone up 10-20% in the last 6 months or so. Nothing lined up yet, just weighing in all the options. Ordering new and waiting for 2022 seems to be the best option in this market.

    I decided to list it on auto trader first instead and it had a ton of interest and offers. Pulled it off and negotiated one of the prospective buyers up to the price I said I was going to re-list it at in May.

    Any idea what this potential luxury car tax will cover/cost? Australia has a luxury car tax of 33% for anything over $65,000.

    It’s 25% including tax and gst in ole socialist BC. Hopefully Alberta doesn’t adapt anything that stupid.

    BC even taxes used car purchases. 12% under 149,000 and 20% above $149,000. It’s no wonder most exotics in BC have Alberta registration..

    Alberta doesn't have to, Trudeau will do it for us federally.

    A luxury tax on new cars and private aircraft valued at more than $100,000 and boats worth over $250,000 will come into force next year if the budget is passed. RVs and snowmobiles would be exempt.
