Went to a B-Day party over the weekend and got to talking to the host , they own a few high end vehicles such as an Audi R8 (V10) , a Huracan and a few other cars. I gather they buy cars that need fixing and he fixes them himself to save a bunch of money.
While checking out the Audi I noticed the wrecked McClaren which belongs to someone else (not the B-day host) .... apparently the car has been sitting there for a few months untouched since the owner doesn't have the $ to fix it.
I'm guessing the front end damage wasn't turned into insurance.
Glad I have full coverage on my nice daily drivers and if the 914 got a fender smacked I could replace it myself and afford to fix most anything on it.
Full Version: SOT: Owning a car you cannot afford to fix?
At least they own a Mclaren! They can keep it in the dehumidified garage, keep it clean and waxed, and tell everyone that they own one, and it will be a true statement! Many own beat rusty classics having no hope, inclination or funds to restore them, just to say that they own one, yet if asked will NEVER sell.
