Which car makes you most sad because you'll probably never be able to afford it?

09 Jul 2015

There comes a time in life (for me it’s 3-4 times a day) where you have an awful moment of realisation, that ‘the dream car’ is probably only ever going to be nothing more than a dream.

I love nothing more than a bit of ‘internet window shopping’ scrolling through the classified advert websites looking at cars I’d love to one day own. Every so often I stumble across something that makes me melt inside, something that triggers a desire of want so strong, that it’s almost uncomfortable.

This feeling is then usually followed up with a horrible sinking empty feeling. It’s that feeling backed up by the little voice in my head that says; "Realistically John, unless you win the lottery this isn’t ever going to happen, so tough luck, mate!" It’s horrible, it’s saddening and yet every day I put myself through the same dilemma.

For me, the 1995 Porsche 911 993 RS is exactly that. The one I’ve included as a screenshot above is a car that triggered that exact same horrible feeling just now.

I mean will you just look at it. It’s perfect, the colour is perfect, the wheels are perfect, the interior is perfect too, but yet it’s £225,000. Yep, two hundred and twenty-five thousand pounds. That’s more than $346,000(USD) or € 313,000(euros) a figure of money I’ll almost definitely never have to spend on a car. So I’m curious to know, which car does this for you?…

What car are you most struggling to come to terms with the fact you’ll probably never ever be able to afford?

I would think twice buying a 225.000 pound car from someone who struggles to write the word Porsche correctly.

Mine’s is a DeTomaso Pantera. But clean models are so expensive nowadays, and I’m a high school student #nojoblyfe

Mine would be a 1974 BMW 2002 turbo. They rarely got to the states. Been wanting one since i was 15.

Not sure is Turbo , But spotted this while filling up the other day.

Man those rear lights… I also have that feeling you described every single time I think about the AE86, so sad.

I would love to own a supra but i only wil be able to afford a impreza wrx sti :(

Lol this aint the last air-cooled Porsche!! The last aircooled Porsche wasnt yellow it was Riviera Blue and i dont think it wasnt an rs

C12 Zonda F Coupè - I remember seeing it when I was a kid and just going "wow". Still my "dream car" today.. It’s the purest of all the Zondas in my opinion. Want so much.

The 2016 Ford GT

Keep on dreaming john if you believe you’re never gonna be able to afford it you probably won’t, i think sometimes it’s just enough to dream about it and make yourself feel as if you already own this car.
