<prompt> Human: I know the simple answer is they make more money than youI make decent money around 90k a year. I love fast cars. I love autocrossing and track days, canyon runs and being an asshole late at night on the highway. I would love a 15-20k 5.0 mustang GT or a c56 Corvette or any number of cars but all I see when I consider something more than my old mr2 is a expensive depreciating asset that would get in th way of my savings goals for a house, retirement, future fun cars, and ways to build wealth. It seems everyone on rcars drives some 30-100k car. How do you justify the expense and depreciation? It doesnt kill you to see your car losing 1000mo or more value? At what point can one justify a expensive fun car?  <response>: You really cant decipher someones financial well being based on the fact they drive a fancy car. Many of those people might be living paycheck to paycheck or using credit cards to finance their lifestyle. Sure some of them are probably well off and pay in cash but there are many that are driving cars they cant really afford.
