Now I feel kind of guilty because I initially said that our benefactor would cover all of the maintenance. Then I thought that just pushes people toward the most expensive cars, which often got nominated, so I put a limit on it. I wanted a limit that would make people pay something for the most expensive cars.

Oh - we're early. I'm going to change the rule to compromise. You'll pay any amount between $3,000 and $4,000, and then the benefactor will take over again. So top-end expenses will be $1,000 per month.

I'm still a quite hesitant on the Jesko as being the most fun. I see people crashing high end sports cars routinely on Reddit out of shear inexperience. Of course I am not going to mash the accelerator on the first tour of the countryside upon delivery. But I would have to rearrange several aspects of my life to take deliver on on $3.4M car. How often would I drive it? In summary, you might say I have tacit reluctance.

Agreed. I went with the van as something I would enjoy practically. I was then torn on the others and went with the Jesko. But learning more about costs, I should have voted for the Porsche. The Jesko doesn't seem like something I should be driving in downtown Denver traffic.

Samba bus & Porsche

That Jesko is certainly pretty awesome but I would never drive it. I would drive the Porsche pretty rarely but does that override how cool it would be to simply own the other car? So debates on whether it’s more fun to own a car versus driving a much lesser car a few times a month that isn’t exactly an awesome experience anyways are definitely going to be prevalent.

It definitely does, probably closer to 50k a year.

Owning and not driving is a travesty.

I just don’t see wanting to pay $1,000 a month for the Jesko to just sit in the garage. Porsche it is for me.

The difference between the Jesko and everything else is that you likely wouldn't drive the Jesko on anything other than a track. The power, the driving stance, the cost of repair will pretty much scare most people from ever actually driving it on a normal road.

At least you could enjoy the other cars whenever you felt like it.

ToxSocks 02-21-2022 10:27 AM

And i see everyone already beat me to that...

ToxSocks 02-21-2022 10:28 AM

Also, why not just skip the insurance thing and keep cars in classes? Exotic/Sports/Everything else?

And then at the end, one final poll to rule them all.
