The depreciation on cars is so steep that it can make owning nice watches seem reasonable. My reply if asked how much the hobby costs is; 'less than owning a nice car..and more fun.'
So I drive a nine-year-old Toyota, and enjoy it. As reliable as my Rolexes.

I don't own a Daytona to measure speed tough

I don't really care for cars. Whatever gets me from point A to B. Here in Canada the winters last too long to have a nice car IMO. When you factor in cost of insurance on a sport car and storing it in winter (no garage) its like burning money. My 11 year old corolla says hi and so does the 116719 BLRO that's on the way that I can only afford because I don't throw money at fancy cars.

Car or a watch were never considered a status symbol by me. I drive a WRX because of its versatility and it can be easily modified to go a little faster.

Love WRX!

Here is my old '12 that I sold to make room for the X3.

Former luxury car owner here. Some time ago I realized that all of the money I was spending on my Lexus was a waste, since I'm really not a "car guy". I bought a Toyota Prius and have driven it for 6 years, saving me thousands of dollars in fuel, and the maintenance is much cheaper too. It has 170K miles and still drives like new. All of this savings equals additional money to be thrown into other passions, like watches!

Just bought this as the "weekend car" for the wife and I.

Hodog16 · 23 March 2016, 11:23 PM

Both of these things put a smile on my face on a daily basis.

I've had 12 cars in 8 years. I agree with you. I'm paying my truck off this time and going to buy more watches than cars...hopefully. Maybe one more car on lease rotation.

I stumbled across this thread today and realized my vehicles and my watches are now in harmony. With the new Explorer retiring my version of the 214270, all my watches are now discontinued models, which aligns perfectly with the fact the all my cars/trucks are also now discontinued models.

All is right in the universe.

SC11 · 24 March 2016, 01:14 AM

New wheels and tints on mine going to look good with the new Daytona

zdeckich · 12 May 2016, 01:34 PM

Going to bump this thread back to life. This is my toy. Makes 478rwhp all motor and 677rwhp on spray.

Getting ready at a 1/2 mile race.

Subjeff · 12 May 2016, 02:00 PM

Just bought this for my 16 year old son and I to have fun with.

One on my weekend toys

My other weekend toy

My daily driver is a company car..a Chevy Traverse.

T. Ferguson · 12 May 2016, 03:14 PM

Subjeff, seriously nice Mustang!

4lx · 13 May 2016, 02:25 AM

Not into cars, my daily driver is a Peugeot 208

Motorcycles, though..

abrasive · 13 May 2016, 02:27 AM

They balance, alright. They cost about the same.

The watch will still be running long after the car is recycled into cheap patio furniture.

Good eye. I took that picture before last year's half marathon in November at like 6 in the morning. Vehicle was only a week or so old at the time.

douglasf13 · 13 May 2016, 03:10 AM

I think my combo is in the same ballpark.

Channeling my inner Steve McQueen with the Submariner and the Mustang.

My other vehicles are a 2015 Cadillac SRX, 2013 Cadillac CTS, 2013 Subaru Legacy and last but not least a 2013 Hyundai Accent hatchback.

Nope, not even close. The Rolex is left in the dust (sorry and all).

Well, ok, maybe the Everose Daytona with ceramic bezel :)

Ck8 · 13 May 2016, 04:44 AM

I want this

enjoythemusic · 13 May 2016, 04:54 AM

Have the 2-door Bentley (GTC), you DO NOT want it.... unless you can afford the massive depreciation and seriously extreme (some might say outrageous) cost to service it. If I wasn't so deep into it losses-wise, would have sold it for a new Vette or Jag.

PS: Since you're in the UK, can you go to Crewe and slap the CEO for me. Thanks.

mmbiker · 13 May 2016, 05:11 AM

I have a Pontiac and a Chevy. Pretty sure my Subc is worth more than my ride.
