Default if you could own any car right now what would it be?

I've just been browsing ebay looking for some inspiration in life.

I dont like things like holidays and that clothes food my missus and cars does me.

So I'm thinking about what car I would like to see myself in if I get this 40k job next week.

And I decided want a F360 - they're about 30-40k

Was thinking about a 911 but they're to common.

So my mindset with anything is work towards a reward. The above being my reward

Fuck morgages and savings lol its all about rent and overdrafts!

What car would you like to see yourself with now or in the future?

I know where you're coming from. I would like a Ferrari 348 as decent examples are affordable but it's a sore point as my g/f likes expensive holidays whereas I prefer to spend my money on material things. What about :-

I already do own the car I've been dreaming of for the last 20 years... my saff cossie!

Weren't you a trained psychologist? Why would you want to lead a superficial live and aspire something as shallow as an expensive road car? There's more things in life mate... Things, money can't buy and that's what you should opt for!

How many rich fellas who did own Fezzas and Porkers have killed themselves or ended up beings alcoholics or drug addicts?

Yeah but just because I know that all the brain is doing is firing from one neuro cell to another and releasing dopamine and serotonin doesnt mean I dont enjoy the feeling lol

I can make myself feel good. Not a problem. I could also make myself feel like I'm a chicken but I choose not to lol

And as you read every word I type you might find you can really start to picture it clearly and STOP and think what it would be like to be sitting in the car of your dreams and as your experiencing the drive of your life your whole world slowly mealts away until you can think about nothing else.

lol only joking..

Fair play to the chaps who have always dreamed of owning a Ferrari because they love them, love the sound of it. etc.

The way you wrote it it however seemed like you're just after any expensive car. Like posh women are after expensive hand bags...

Nah I've always wanted to own one. I never buy someone to elict emotion in someone else. Only emotion in me.

If it makes me feel good then thats all that matters.

Everything I do in my life is for my purposes not those of others.......
