What is this Yoga thing you speak of?
Ha Ha. I go to yoga twice a week. It's really invigorating although sometimes I wonder why I endure the heat and exhaustion...wish I could wear my Explorer but I'm afraid the heat will gum up the insides...

I had a 2014 I probably should have kept. I switched to German but am tempted by the 2023 Mustang.

116710LN and 116500LN black dial drive a 2018 BMW M3 dark blue but looks black out of light or at night. I guess it kind of matches..

Yet another thing we must be on "the list" for to acquire at MSRP... Trying to wait patiently for mine but not holding my breath. Just got bumped to 2023 model. Considering pulling my order.

2019 F250 here in a small Texas town. With the exception of my Sub Date and Speedmaster, my nicer watches are only worn under long sleeves.

Is your vehicle and your Rolex a balance




Just sold : 2019 Huracan performante spyder (white)
Incoming: 2023 Huracan STO (matte black - on order)

Cars is the only hobby that costs more for me than watches or maybe it’s the other way around

Agreed. A hobby. A hobby costs money. All this “investment” and social flex chatter over the past couple years has clouded the reality. These are extravagant luxury purchases. Do it because it fill your heart with joy. Memories with your family. Doing amazing things.

Go into these purchases with the expectation that they are instantly worth $0 and then everything becomes easier. Cars. Watches. Houses. Things. All the same.

I'm probably the odd one on here that owns more cars than watches, not exotic or expensive, just cheap 90's cars. Two of them cost less initially than the 126610LN I bought last year.

Current projects...

A lot of people in California drive very nice cars but are renting their apartments. I know of people driving around in a Porsche but don’t own a home.

These types of statements are not based on real facts and data though.

I’m sure there are some examples, but you don’t have any data to support this claim.

OK, as a normal house owner who drives a 1st gen Toyota Aygo I just discovered that I'm not a clever guy, thank you for letting me know.

You took my sentence out of context! This was a response, not a statement.

Anyway, if you take my words more seriously, and if we accept that the Aygo is a definitely nice car, then you, not me, have declared that you're not clever. Anyway, according to my sentence, you should feel yourself clever...

Many will say that renting makes sense for most people and is not an indication that they "can't afford to buy".

Living in Seoul, I have no need (nor desire) to have a car. The scooter/bike pretty much gets me to everywhere I need/want to go.
