Wild to think that a well optioned GT is 60k.
Give me all the GT350s.
45,900 for a GT with a single interior upgrade.
Thats whack.
$50K is not a "performance bargain" if most people can't afford it.Just built a cheap manual 5.0 for a mere $50K. To put it in perspective, a well-optioned C8 costs twice that amount. The Mustang is still a performance bargain and the sole survivor from the Big 3.
Well, the average cost of a new car nearing $50K, so many people can afford it. Not saying it isn’t pricey, but was trying to point out it is a relative deal in comparison to the C8.$50K is not a "performance bargain" if most people can't afford it.

You know what the best feeling in the world is. Having zero debt. Owning your own time.Ehh.. I make good money.
Aint no way I'm affording a 50k car, without essentially hating my life. Sure I could " afford " it, and not have anything else. Say you're average person in this community... 75k gross is what $1200 a week or so if you claim 0, so $4800 a month
Rent in even average cities for a normal house is $1500 a month ( I pay 1500 for a 3/2, with carport in a city of 90k people ) ... even 2/1s are $1200 out here
throw in utilities, cell, internet thats another $700ish likely so thats $2200 a month. Power $200, Cell $150, Internet $100, water and gas is around $100 combined, your streaming shit.. so maybe $500 ish not 700
Food costs for a normal human. $200 a week if you want to eat decent at home. That pushes you to $3000
Say another what? $1000 for going out to eat, just honestly enjoying life? Thats $4000
You know have $800 left for ... a car payment, fuel, insurance.
So lets take out the $1000 for enjoying life so you're back to the $3000.. your 50k car, plus insurance and fuel.. Payment around what 800? Insurance, $150, fuel lets say 100 a week? That's $1350.
That brings you to $4350.. that leaves you essentially $450 for an " oh shit" .. like your dog gets hurt, or say you want to go on a date, or say literally anything happens....

My wife who is my financial advisor says you can’t spend money in a worse way than on expensive cars.
She buys Jap cars new for cash and runs them into the ground. All she cares about is reliability. Is she right?
Depends on your life goals and pleasures.
To me. I’m not buying a $50k car unless I can pay cash or the interest rate is less than 1% so I’d say you should be earning a lot more than $100k to justify it.
I personally wouldn’t spend $50k on a regular mustang no matter how much I have or $100k on a vette but that’s just my opinion.
I get it for some people cars are life.
Cars used to be mine. Now I own an 07 silverado and I'm happier now just driving that thing than my Shelby a lot of times.
Sure having a Shelby was awesome... having an extra $800 a month is more awesome, and not giving a shit about parking in places, not being noticed, not giving a shit when driving.

I used to buy myself a new car every 3 years when I worked and cars were a big part of my life. But things change. Now I don’t really care about them.Cars used to be mine. Now I own an 07 silverado and I'm happier now just driving that thing than my Shelby a lot of times.
