I thought I'd ask this because it's usually one of those questions that is answered in this type of way.... "Well, it's all relative".

I went to an exotic dealership the other day with my dad, and we were lookin' at the cars. Now, I've always remembered people saying "Dude, if I could make 100K a year in my lifetime I AM SET. That is A LOT OF MONEY". But then, you walk into a shop like this and see a car that costs more than what you make in 3 years! It made me think... If that's "Good", than what the hell do you call being able to afford a 400K car? (Used 458 spyder for $372,000).

I've heard my buddies say things along the line of "Well his parents make 400K a year, they are FREAKING LOADED!". And other people say "Well, 500K is pretty good, but not if you live somewhere rich".

I mean really... WHAT IS GOOD? I can't wait to see some of the answers in all honesty.

And if I'm honest... we pulled up in a Honda CRV, and the other 3 cars in the lot consisted of - 1 Bently, 1 Porsche, 1 Jaguar.

As I was saying, if I'm honest. Walking around there and thinking - Woah, this is an absolute dream. And at the SAME time hearing a lady in the background with her husband ordering their car..... it's intimidating. Being totally truthful, it's intimidating.

I don't know if my father could afford one, nor do I care, but it is sort of weird lookin' at people and thinking "Geeze, feeling a little inferior here". Haha.
