I'll get the GTR in year 2 after the hype/markups and after they fix the first year problems.

+1

I'm looking to get one in late 2009. Hopefully, I will be able to find one for @ 70K

No but it feels like all of texas is just a economic mixing zone. Half mexico half america. Anyways one of the reasons i want an m3 is that it is less "out there" and hopefully it wont get hated on as much by vandals.

All kidding aside, I'm surprised nobody has asked this question yet: What do you do to earn that kind of cash flow?

You've already ignored my question as to whether or not you were a practicing dentist so I guess we can rule that out...

BS...play $$ is one thing...having that kind of cash flow in a checking account is not wise. You really ought to consider hiring a financial analyst.

He dosent have that kind of money. I make really good money. No where near that amount. But even with what I make I wouldn't show it on a forum.

Typically they cut it off around 100K per bank account. That way it stays insured. 600K uninsured doesn't sound too smart to me.

I want this one

I'd like to get one but I think I would like to own a house first. I make a better than average income and I can't even afford a house out here in Silicon Valley. The default rates are increasing out here and it might be my chance to pick up something semi-affordable.

I think I'm going to wait until 2010 before looking at a GT-R. As much as I loved my Z when it came out, it just had a lot of first run problems and I don't want to experience that with the GT-R.

By the way, if you do have even 1/50 of that running thru your account monthly, you shouldn't be in the lowest type of checking account they have to offer!... You should talk to your banker to get it upgraded...
