"restoration services start at $395,000 and go from there."

Breh.... $400k plus the 964 itself so you're at like 500-600 grand for a fucking CAR.
Hence lottery purchase.
IDK man, I don't think I'd spend 600 large on a goddamn car either way. What if you get rear ended by a Nigerian? Or get a door ding? Or or or or. I mean I'd be scared shitless to actually take it anywhere for fear of some careless person dicking it up. Hand made carbon fiber fender flares don't sound easy to repair.

I have a hard time believing it's HALF A MILLION DOLLARS BETTER than a regular 964.

Now. A :troywax: 993? Possibru.

You won the lottery, so you drive it on your personal racetrack on your personal island.

I'd rather a 964 over a 993 too, but that's my :fullretard: opinion. :lol:

:fullretard: aircooled jack off fest.

I could think of many other cars I'd rather have for that money. Undeniably cool car and restomod... but at that point, you're beyond lottery winnings, you're more of a Buffet type where you just throw 500k at a fire for a 15th car in your "collection"

It's all relative to your wealth, you drive around in a car that's worth a ton in relativity to your income. I would piss people off :triggered: if I had hundreds of millions with my muddy dog hopping out of my Ferrari NFG.

Yeah for sure. Lots of other cars are totally awesome and don't cost half a milli. Shit a really nice 458 Italia would be 1/3 the price of a Singer.

I know, you think everything should be $5k after 5 years.
So true. Dat MaxFactor Depreciation rule. Except Veyrons and Vipers.

They hate the looks but love the ride. They are also worried about the age....

One is kind of sentimental about it since she was flying around the back seat when my dad dropped us off at the air port and she didn't buckle up, and another time when I slammed on the brakes and she flew from back seat into the footwells due to some :fullretard: in front of me

I could live with it if the car comes with red interior for example, otherwise a color is better. Personally liking this orange..

Audi has lots of great colors, but you have to pay a lot of money for the best ones, like that orange.

See: Audi Exclusive.

Also see: Merlin Purple S3. :jizz:

Looks really good. I bet it's a pain to up keep (typical dark blue/black problems).
