Owning a supercar is just as expensive as you think

Thats about what I remeber reading sone time ago.

The one they left off was the Bugatti Veyron.

Tires are $38,000 each ($152,000 total) recommended that they are changed every 2500 miles and every 10k you should change rims and tires which are $50,000 each ($200,000).

They estimate yearly operating cost in the neighborhood of $300,000.

That sound about right. I read the article in Dub magazine (I'm not a subscriber, we get it delivered to work for free). The article read that Bugatti requires you to have a climate controlled storage facility to store your car amongst other ridiculous requirements. The article said the average 10 year ownership cost was somewhere around $8,000,000.

I can put some 18's on Nitto tires on it for about $3,000. Sounds like a much better idea.

My brotherinlaw just bought a new M5 with the comp package. He opted out of the comp brakes as they are about $13k to replace, from what he told me.

It is freakishly fast and fun to drive!

Gotta pay to play.

Jeez, I'm trying to save for 37's when I need new tires. I'd have to sell organs or children to be able to get an oil change on those cars. I'd love someday to own something like that, but for now I'll have to settle driving my wife's STI and pretend it's something faster.
