no, the kid is taking out a loan...IF the bank gives it to him....dont flip out on me on how the bank wont give him that big a loan...I dont know how he is doing it...whether he takes out a small loan for a downpayment or whatever.

Couple of bosnians at KFC paid full in cash for their EVO's, (red and black one) and the guy who owns the red EVO is thinking about buying a ferrari....and btw.....he's only 19, from what ive heard. I highly doubt that they bought those cars working at KFC, its the money that the US gives them for entering our country....kinda a "sorry we blew up your home" thing.

Cash price of an Evo vs. Ferrari (unless its old) is quite a big jump

[slow90gsx]

plus they all live togeather like 10 in a house or appt,it would be pretty cheap to live like that.

actually....the one with the black EVO is dating my cousin...honestly I dont have a problem with them.....The red EVO guy (both their names are "Aldin") is the one who is dreaming about a ferrari and I dont know how he lives.....

in a small house with 10 or more close relatives. im sure if they all put their money together they could afford a cheap ferrari (i made an oxymoron).

Thats an insult to irishmen everywhere, besides they all spend their money on booze. i think is a combination of the scrap metal, living 30 to a 3 bedroom apartment, and the government cheese. Although some of them do work really hard, Anel the guy with the blue v6 mustang has like 3 jobs, and is saving money to turbo it. I guess free time is more precious to me than it is to them.

[99civic]

see anel has 3 jobs and can only afford an ugly shitstang.......no offence to the ones with the
v8's. so these guys have to be doing something else. 90% of their cars are salvaged anyway

[thrash]

I don't have a problem with anyone working 3 jobs in leiu of being on some sort of public aid. If they're on public aid and working 3 jobs and then buying a nice car, that's still better then them not working 3 jobs.

The people who do nothing and just collect money are the lowest rung. People that game the system and collect while working are better because at least they are injecting value into the economy.

I wish some other government would blow up my shit then let me mooch off of them...

I worked with a bosnian named Bishlaga for a few years at a construction job. He said that the bosnians that lived in the big apt complexes on 32nd ave ran a sort of communal thing with their income. They pooled the money from all the families, paid all the bills, then every month one of them got something huge, the next month it was someone elses turn. Everyone is taken care of, and in the long run everyone gets their "toy". He said this was also helped out by tax exeptions.

Taking the Bosnian (obvious reference by the OP) defense stance here. Many of the "non-americans" you speak of are actually Americans (naturalized, or other)...or at least legal aliens here on J5 visa's. Some of the bosnians that I have talked with have parents who are here as Doctor's or other healthcare professionals. These people can afford BMW's for themselves or their kids. Now don't get me wrong, there are plenty of people here who live off the system (White/Bosnian/Indian/Black/Chinese/etc...) but to categorize all of them as free-loaders is a misconception

Buying/Owning a Ferrari is one thing, (Not saying it is easy to do or cheap) maintaining it is quite another. A few years ago i stopped in a shop in Moorhead to get my------> BMW :)<-------- fixed, and there was a Ferrari 328 gtb in there. Talking to the tech, i was informed that these cars need constant maintanance to operate correctly, he mentioned that you can put upwards of 5 to 6 thousand dollars into maintanance every 15000 to 20000 miles, especially since tolerances are so tight, one example is no head gaskets due to tight tolerances in machining!!! So if you can buy one, Great! But, Can you afford to maintain it????

Its not that he cant afford anything else its personal taste. Its what he likes. So lay off man............ come on now lets stay away from bashing what everyone drives.

I cann bullshit on that one. What are they doing every 15-20k miles that costs 5k? No headgaskets? Again, I call bullshit.

[Guest]

proof that they made/make head gaskets for the 328 Ferrari

dude, you prove everyday that you can bullshit on anything. post whore!

ah..kidding. kind of. :icon_salut:

[Jim]

I looked in to what it costs to maintain them, they certainly are expensive, most people don't really put any miles on them...

with the F1 transmissions they go through clutchs frequently if people use the "automatic" mode becuase it slips it everywhere, the other common thing is belt replacement...

Here's what forbes.com says "Engine oil for the Enzo costs $72 per quart, and routine, 3,000-mile tune-ups of Ferraris can costs thousands of dollars due to all of that race car technology."

and from the Ferrari boards:

"The main costs you have to worry about are the major services (15K,30K miles or every 3 years) because of the complexity of the work requiring hours since it is an engine out service. Depending on which shop you bring it to, either an independent or an official Ferrari dealer, this would cost around $6-8K in the USA. "

You can call bullshit all you want, im only repeating what i have been told by someone who repairs them. As for proof head gaskets are made, think about it!, if the heads warp or whatever after time, obvyously manufacturing gaskets will solve having to buy new heads, or having to have some expensive machine work.
