on a car like this. You see little to no return what so ever. Now maybe you could sell it and recoup a little of your money but if you get a wreck like this you are screwed. You could take that same $30K and turn it into $500K in 25 years with an avg performing stock fund (12%, not inflation adjusted). Just an observation. Save a little now, spend a lot later. However I guess having an 11-12 sec TT w/ a computer in it is pretty cool. Good luck with it Ash.
