"What this means to you: It costs as much as a small house. But it's a lot faster than a house."

Great line.

[FAPTurbo]

Yeah, but your house will usually appreciate in value, not to mention make you NOT look like a douchebag.

[aaaantoine]

This is true...

But a house doesn't.... Uh... I've got nothing.

I'd love to know where you can buy a house for $100,000. Even the old run-down cottages to the north of DC will fetch more than $100 grand.

Oh so true!

Alpine?

Alpine is a sports car company owned by Renault, but which hasn't produced a model under their own name in decades.

Alpina is the brand name of BMW's preferred tuner and customizer based in Germany.

This car is neither.

I'm sure if you head to Baghdad, they'll set you up... it's your chance to beat the rush. :AH-HA_wink:

Upstate NY housing falls below $100k more often than not.. Far, far cheaper than NYC's outlying suburbs.

^^ This just reinforces my thoughts that real estate around DC is outlandishly expensive.

[FAPTurbo]

An average R1 residential house in my city costs $342,761, albeit in Canadian dollars, (but our currency is close to the States')

On our West Side alone, that figure jumps to 1 to 1.2 Million.

[Paolino]

Yeah, so, that house in a nice neighborhood with a school district... easily 750,000.

Get into your nicer areas and that house would go for a million.

To add to what Drew said... It's even cheaper in Brookville. $100k could by a damn nice house around here.

In Princeton Township NJ, where I do a lot of work, that description --depending on extras and level of trim/finish-- would easily bring $2.5 million.

Perhaps this M6 convertible is more in your price range—only 289 Euro:

As well as the San Francisco Bay area where I live. I always thought it was expensive to live out here in the bay Area, but damn I did not know it was that ridiculous. I live 60 miles east of San Francisco and my 2300 sq. ft. house with 3 bedrooms, a studio, 2.5 bathrooms and a 3 car garage is $500,000+ and I don't even live in an exclusive neighborhood. Looks like retirement in 20 years will be out of state!

I guess my doctor sister will now want to upgrade her convertible 645 to maintain her good status.
