cars worth more than your house?

There is a guy who lives a couple streets away, in a dumpy old (and I mean OOOOLD) 4-5 room house, made of unpainted wood, with only a carport and driveway; yet he owns a beautiful red Viper RT-10, AND a nice-looking red Plymouth Prowler! His house couldn't have cost him more than 30,000! Yet his cars cost him over 130,000 for sure! WHY????? It makes no sense to me. And those are the only cars he owns. Imagine going to work in the rain IN YOUR VIPER???? I don't get it.............. :alien: :smoker:

Or maybe you're just looking at it from the wrong angle. Maybe his cars are his home.

Eh, I probably would do the same. If I had loot, I'd probably have my cars look better then my house. Not that it would be the right way of doing things.

Reminds me of one of the first cars i bought. I was riding my bicycle through a trailer park after I crashed the good ol VW when I spotted a 71 sattelite.
I called the number on the car wheen i got home and it was his neihbor (who told me the owner couldnt afford a phone) I went to look at the car, decided i liked it and when I went into the trailer to get the tittle therre were all kinds of pics of rare cars on the wall like 340 challengers, 440cudas chargers and when I asked about them he said they were his other cars in storage!
This from a guy living with his wife and two kids in a trailer about 1 and 1/2 the size of my bedrooom. If he would have sold his cars he could have had a damn fine house. He only sold the sattelite becuse it was unoriginal and therefore a low value car. I paid 4200$ for it and have had it since fall of 93
and it is by far the best value I have ever owned auto wise.

That changes everything, I thought he lived in one of his cars or something in a parking lot.

That seems screwed up to my sensibilities, but to each his own. If thats how he wants to spend his cash, then he's free to do so.

not exactly true, i saw a black Z8 today, which i almost cried like a baby when i saw it. and i noticed that it had tons of bugs and rock chips in the front, so i continued on my way to work and told my friend about it, and he said that its his friends dads. he made millions upon millions in an internet mini mall scandal. he got sued for it but he made so much money that he paid it off and still had enought for that car. he's lucky!

I don't know anyone who goes to that extreme, but one guy I know (well, my friend knows him) has just an average, medium house, but a mint '70 GTO Judge 4-speed, 2 Bricklin SV-1's (possibly 3), and a couple more regular cars.

there are alotta nice cars around my neighbourhood.... none of them come close to the price of the houses..... the guy that lives across the street from us has an underground garage that'll fit like 10 cars.... and he has a red Ferrari F355 spyder and a black Porsche 911, but i think his house is worth like more than $5 million... so even all his cars put together won't equal the price of the house
