Yep, I'm too poor to afford a new 911. Gee, darn. I was, for much of my life, too poor to afford an M3. I was once, 30+ years ago, too poor to afford a car that was less than 40% rust. 75k car or 135k car...both of them are too expensive for most people.
A friend of mine who makes a hair over the median wage for the area just bought her first new car at 45 years of age. A 23k Hyundai Kona. She has massive family expenses due to difficulties a few family members face and was so very thrilled to finally have a car that didn't have millions of miles and dents. She drove over to show it to me and insisted that I take it for a drive. I felt like I was driving a Fisher Price toy (the interior plastics are AWFUL). I did nothing but compliment it and really enjoyed seeing how happy she is.
Perspective is a wonderful thing.
