As a fan of cars aesthetically and mechanically/technologically and a fan of the art of driving, I'd rather have a nice car. I'd trade a dream house for a Nissan GT-R Spec-V, a Porsche 911 GT2 RS (a 612 horspower RWD coupe!) or a Audi R8 any day.

I honestly don't get the fascination with cars. I want something decent that's fuel efficient and in good shape and not too costly to maintain. I don't want to drive an junker, but the last thing I need is a luxury or sports car.

Now, a nice house ... yeah, I want that.

I'd be happy with an average house because I'm not materialistic with most things, but I'm a car guy. I want one of these.View attachment 67118029

Not a bad choice, but even I would not want that as a daily driver.

The cost of that would be (assuming original and not a replica) would go beyond a nice house of course

While not exactly practicle, serves my needs fine

my wife drives a '10 GT3 RS...and it's too much car for me to deal with as it is... adding almost 200 more bhp is just nuts.
 
I have friends and relatives with old money. They could not care less about the age of their cars. Their houses are nice, certainly not ostentatious. IMHO, a parent would be doing their children a grand favor teaching them that appearance and affectation is bull****. It isn't at all what makes like enjoyable. Kids - especially looking at the future they will face - would benefit from understanding that money can be used for good or for evil.
 
I look at it this way: you can indulge yourself and tickle your fancy - after you pay the rent.

since I spend much more time in my house than I do in my car...a nice house is more important. car? as long as it gets me from A to B I couldn't care less. I am not out to impress anyone.

My house is 3000 sq ft with a pool out back. all of my cars are at least 7 years old.

That. Home is more important, because you live there. Vehicles are primarily for transportation.

Thinking a flashy car is better than a nice house is a fantasy for the young. Give them a few years out in the world and they'll start to understand why.

Psshew! You are a lucky man. Like you say, even the GT3 RS is nuts; it is hardly a daily driver and is basically a pure track car. Have you seen any videos of the GT2? I mean, it literally gives me an erection watching it go through turns, back end out and flat as a rug the whole time. That sound...oooooh, that sound.

Neither I just want enough to give my kid a chance and enough for me and my wife to go to all the countries we have yet to visit!

it's got nuthin to do with me bein' lucky...that car is hers, paid for by her labor and money.... I don't touch the damn thing anymore.

now if i had a closed course to drive on, i'd rip it up.... but it's too much car to deal with in traffic as a daily driver... my CXT is more my style, or one of my hogs
 
I am biased on this poll. I am a car guy. I rather drive Rolls Royce and live in a cardboard box. I would have a house big enough for me, just as long as my ride is fly, I don't care.
 
If by house, you mean home, I would rather have a nice home. I live in my home, not in my car. A car is just for getting me from point A to point B, and I've had many different cars over the years. I don't see the point of a flashy car... it's a depreciating asset, unlike a house which can be rennovated.
 
House,,functional, roomy, energy efficient, with a big shop behind it.....ours is big but not fancy.
Cars, hers is 12 years old and has most of the options, my truck is 10 years old and a basic model.
I like sleepers, short on looks but long on performance. Long time ago I put a 200HP aluminum v8 into a Mazda rotary truck, with 4.11 gears and manual trans with OD. It was a fun ride.
Sold that one, current project is an 89 shortbed dakota with 5.9L magnum v8 and 3.55 gears. It won't look like much, but will also be a fun ride....it will have an upgraded suspension, lowered a bit, better sway bars, low profile wide tires, etc.
I like pushing the limit on curves. That will probably be stated in my obituary....
