No. Most VPs I know drive Toyota Prius' and Yaris'
+SB I second this. My VP literally has a Prius
No. I'm pretty sure Obama made an executive order preventing that, although a Porsche is ok. There's talk Trump may repeal that restriction.
It seems achievable to me so as long as they live in a pretty mediocre apartment, have no dependents, lease the car out a couple years, and dedicate a large amount of their salary to the price of the car.
Everyone knows you base your career decisions on the type of car you can own
Yeah you are gonna get flamed here
No, because Lamborghinis are for Batman, and Batman spends his entire night throwing the Batarang, quick-drawing from his utility belt, and hanging out at the Bat Cave instead of focusing on pitching and managing his client's relations. So, no that would be crazy to think.
I think by the time someone has made it that far, he won't be spending 300k on a two-seater car. Lambos are for entrepreneurs who sold their companies...
How long do you want to work? How small of a flat do you want to live in?
I always chuckle thinking about this, the most supercars are in places with horrendous traffic like LA, south beach and NYC. top speed in those places is probably 45mph on the PCH.
have fun cruising at idle speed down madison ave or ocean ave. colossal waste of money.
now, if you had something like that on the blue ridge parkway in VA/NC, then you can really see what that car was designed to do.
If you're going to buy a midlife crisis vehicle then get a Harley. It's much cheaper, introduces you to a more fun crowd, makes you feel a lot cooler than a Lambo will, and is a hell of a lot more fun to ride in places that aren't scenic highways.
^This, great advice if you prefer used up biker chicks with 3 kids.
No vehicle's actually going to get you laid much, although a Lambo/Ferrari does have the benefit that it will attract gold diggers who will give you the dead fish before dragging you out to your local high end fashion mall.
Besides which you'd be surprised at how good looking some of the biker ladies can be. The older, scraggier ones are usually there because they work their asses off for their biker.
