Wise words for sure. That sports car is almost never as rewarding as you think it'll be, but not stressing about money surely is.

  The cost of a sports/luxury car seems reasonable, esp for a high income earner, maybe 30-50% more than something more modest. But the upkeep is literally insane. A brake job on an Audi can cost 3-4x that of a Honda. Oil changes can be 2-3x.

    And it loses value at a pace like nothing else you own. It’s a wealth sink.

      A lot of modern sport cars are currently going up in value because new cars are either unavailable in the short term or not satisfying enough to the car enthusiast crowd.

        What are some examples that you know of?

        In general used car prices/trade-ins were sky high last summer because of lack of new car availability. Not sure what it's like currently. My sense was that supply chain woes had eased somewhat.
