TBP88's last car

[whiteunderarm]

Actually had *THIS EXACT* chat the other day. A 458 speciale is ~ 8-10m locally, even a normal one is ~4-5m.

For the super rich, whatever, but if you have any financial limitation in your life (i.e. net worth <say 150m), how does a car like this make sense? You can have a *VERY* nice collection for that money - for 10m you're into a 992GT3 touring as a daily (say 6m spec'd out), a GT4 for 1.5-2m (981), and 1m left for a nice spec golf or equivalent as a daily driver and 1m left for a project car.

ASSUMING money is no consideration then whatever, but the world north of like R8m on cars is so rarified - and the returns so marginal (Hell, I'd rather have a gt3 touring outright over a 458speciale, I think it looks better, sounds better, it's probably as fast)...

Have a 458 Speciale, bought in 2014 and after 12 years I’ve been offered double my investment…now looks are subjective, I’m a Porsche lover… also have a 911 Turbo, and I love the new GT3 (The RS specifically) but I do think the 458 looks better than the GT3…I can also categorically tell you the 458 Speciale sounds MUCH MUCH better than any stock Porsche on offer today….the Speciale may not be the fastest car on the road by today’s standards, but it is 12 years old now…personally if I had to choose, I think I’d rather have one 458 Speciale and a daily driver over a 4 car garage….

@admin, please ban him for 30 days for not showing us pics of his collection

Send location, I need to audit your cars that are not being driven lol

My favourite in the collection is also my oldest…a 2007 Golf 5 2.0 😂 It’s probably the only car I’ll never ever sell 😂

Haha, tastes are subjective! But given they're ~ half the price a 991.2GT3T in the right colour... I'm biased but it's probably the best looking non-limited car ever made.

The nonchalantness killed me and then the random g5 thrown in there.😂😂😂

You'd be shocked at what @TBP88 does after hours to afford a GT4...
