Sounds like he was right

 

3166

Whats that?
$3166 a month?
$31.66 an hour?
$31,660 a year?

Man you are 36?
How old is your son in law?
18? or 20?

Many of us have been where you are and a year from now you dont want to be eating rice and beans and looking at your Porsche.

I can say that, I bought my car and then had to have a career change. I was driving my Porsche and eating Mac and Cheese for dinner everynight.

Save some money for a rainy day, I am not saying save everything you make but be real, things happen. You have to set a good example for your kid(s). And think of the future.

Why dont you open your detail business. Owning your own place is the most sure fire way to get ahead in money and quality of life.

 

3166 Is my Salary that I make Monthly .Everyone that I know makes more than me so that is why the gave me the nickname 3166 to them Its a Joke that I work for that amount of money.

 

So you are considering going to LV with the intention of bringing over three months salary to wager?? Please tell me this is all one big joke.

Have you ever paused for a minute and wondered how they build all of those casino's? I'll "bet" you it was not on the backs of a ton of winners....

 

He got 75k from his dad.
According to another thread he paid 70k for the car:
"Retail on the car is $66,344.00 .They are giving me $4000.00 off and doing all the Mods for a 70K total plus Tax and Tags."
After his Vegas trips he is down $2,000.

He says he has $15k left.
SO lets assume he is being honest, the numbers from the gift from his dad do not add up. Its obvious he had some savings already and used some of his own money for the car or the vegas trips.

It does not seem smart to me to act like a baller and go "gamble" 3 months income.
I love going to Vegas I go 2 times a year. I dont gamble though. The shows, the restaurants, taking my wife to the clubs. You can go have a great time and not chance your gift.

If your dad has the cash you say he does, it may be smart to play the game and try to make your dad happy with his gift. In the future there may be more where this came from.

Just my .04

 

^^Numbers do not lie but I think he maybe. We have all been in tough spot, not even 10 years ago my apt would fit in my now master bedroom/bath. I do not make a lot of money and I do spend more then I should but what you are doing is dumb. Oh well I said my business and now I am done. When you sell the car because you are living in it look me up. I will pay 50 cents on the dollar.

 

Quote from Godfather: " Everytime I think I'm out, they pull me back in!!" I guess I have to unsubscribe from this thread!!! Please answer me...has CaymanGT posted pics of this car yet?????? I now think he is a 13 year old girl, living in a trailer, with a bootleg cable hook-up to a Commodore 64 computer (real old) just messing with us!!! There is no car, or daddy (he left her along time ago),or business...etc. Enough!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm done here!!!!!!!!! Until later I guess.

P.S.: Gary..I love rice and beans!!!! Come on man, who doesnt?

 

Not Lying Guys,I put down 45K ,Traded in a 2005 Dodge Truck Crew cab got 15K for it ,Owed about $9,500 on it Financed the Difference($17.400.00) Ended up doing 1/2 the mods without the dealer being Involved ,paid cash for those although I really want to do the Plenum. Have a Deposit on the Clear Engine Cover (Bartered for that) I missed the Cuttoff time on the group buy.I still have 15k or so. Think I will start a detail Business instead of going to Vegas I have all the Equiptment already .Thanks for the advise

 

dude, im done after this post, but imo, you are a moron..

if i were given 75k after selling a family buisness, the last thing i would do is buy a new porsche. Invest, learn, invest more, and then you'll be able to buy w/e porsche you desire.... also, please stop gambling, doesnt sound like your winning to much....

Now i am younger, but still, stop posting stupid things on this forum that will create arguments, be mature..... If you spend some time reading through this place, maybe you'll pick up on some investing ideas and the like....i know i have.

good day sir, i am done.......

 

CaymanGT.... you're a piece of work. Get that detail business going... since you are really good at it, why not. Once dad finds out that you are being responsible, maybe he can help with the business... it seems that he has done well for you guys.
As for the original question... Do what you like, call your Cayman anything you want... its your car. However, in the Porsche world, it is frowned upon to rebadge something that it is not... you are not ruf, strosek or techart. If your business takes off and get into tuning and get yourself a credible name... sure, you can call it a cayman gt and market it as such. However, at this point its all in your head (and thats fine too).

 

I almost spit Coke all over the keyboard when I read this.

Very funny.......

 

I'm in Louisiana, we eat Rice and Beans at 5 star restaurants!!!

 

I was annoyed in the beginning with the OP posts, but now I feel kinda bad for him. No money management skills whatsoever it seems. Good luck with everything!

Have you ever heard your car should be around 33% of your yearly income? No offense, but you make 3166*12 = 38k a year. Are you sure you can afford the car? Life is short I know, but at 36 years old... you hopefully still have a long way to go!

I'm 30 by the way so I'm not some old fart that's trying to rain on your parade.

 

any car enthusiast will agree whether or not they are part of the porsche world...

just chiming in that you have terrible money management skills. i'm sure it's tempting but just think about all those lottery winners that end up wasting all their money because they never knew what to do with it in the first place

 

Sorry to chime in...

Cayman... If you are good at detailing and hustle, I believe you can make not only $6,000.00 a month, but more...

You can use the Cayman S as a "hook" for your business... if you can make it "stand out" it'll atract customers... If you have any cash left... get yourself a used 2000 or 1999 cargo van... get some signs, and market your detailing business...

Go talk to mall owners and place your Cayman S next to your van... detail the P-Car... you'll see how soon customers show up...
