Anyone have a problem keeping cars?

[z1ggy]

Since I finished undergrad, I've been following the same pattern:
Mercedes CLK (06-07)
Audi A6 (08-10)
Audi S4 (10-11)
BMW M3 (11-12)
911 4s (12-?)

About the same thing for bikes, since 03 I've owned CBR f3, CBR f4, GSXR600 and an R6 Raven.

Damn man what do you do for a living? Are you buying and selling these privately? I am jelly.


For me, I have owned 2 cars and 2 bikes so far. Want to buy a new car and bike next year.. but my logical finance brain says to hold them both and not waste more money.

95 Saturn wagon (04-07)
07 Subaru Impreza NA (07-??)


82 GS650g (10-11)
01 GSXR 600 (12-??)

I'm a trader. All those cars were used when I got them, I like the flatter spot of the depreciation curve.

Being particularly handy doesn't hurt, either!
