Not to disrespect anyone on here or what you all like but the way i see it is sell it and get a house, there comes a time when you get out of the "boy racer" cars and step into housing... making money, and getting more sofisticated cars... and women... just food for thought
I beg to differ. Maybe this aplies for the average joe, but not the upper 30%

Obviously you have never seen Barrett-Jackson


BTW, what do you think the hot cars will be in 20 years?

.... the fuck? yes in fact i have seen barrett jackson. i think you are getting the wrong drift. sure he could keep the car and step in to a house years from now..... but why not dump the car now step into something that will be a long term investment while advancing his career or what have you. all while after he gets stable with a house buy a new project or buy back the existing car with no debt pending the car is not wrecked.

I have always liked 3000gt's, however I feel safe in saying we will never see any 1980-2007 Mitsubishis at Barrett Jackson, or whatever the big auction house of the future is.

You're 21 and all about the now! I don't expect you to understand how you would feel 20 years from now. However , I do feel there are quite a few here that have already been there and regreted it.

And I never said it was a 100% fact. People are different. and this is my opinion based off of others I see daily, as well as my own.

As far as never seeing a 3000gt...don't hold your breath...
