Stupid scenario on your part.

Well, if you consider spending $0.25 and think you have to wait a million years, you might as well put them on a savings account and buy yourself the $182K 911 well before your own deadline

Me either. For a mere $148,300.00 I can get a new turbo, $0.25 for the gum and $33,699.75 in my pocket! Well, there are taxes. And options. Forgot the clear bra and radar. Need the tire package. Hmmmmm, maybe I can't afford the gum

Yeah, if you look at any 911 Turbo at a dealership, it is going to cost way more than that. Once you add the destination fees, standard options that should already come on every other car in existence, etc..., and then approximate taxes - we are easily approaching $200k.

A million years is, like, a long *** time. I'm sure at some point around year 684,000 you'd give in and shell out the cash.
