You can do that with a fraction of that price.Imagine being a "grown ass man" choosing video game consoles over a car, that has a purpose and function.

The car is fantastic but I hate right hand drive!

I live on a street where it’s street parking and about 10 minute walk from a train station, road gets full of commuters. I’d be a fucking nervous wreck hoping the car wouldn’t get scratched.

Could buy the ps5, xsx, and Switch after needing to pay 1 months worth of insurance.
Not to mention the ungodly cost of everything else associated.
Very hard pass on the car.

R34 does the quarter mile .2 seconds faster than a modern stock honda accord. These things are so overrated.

I mean, a Rimac Nevera is only .5 seconds faster than a stock Tesla Plaid...
modern cars are wild

I’ve seen stock tesla plaids beat trailered drag cars on slicks on YouTube. They’re crazy.

$250k is what they go for now as a 20+ year old car, if you somehow got one in perfect condition with zero miles it would be more

This GT-R Spec V II Nür model is listed by JDM Expo in "BRAND NEW CONDITION!" We kept the listing's capital letters because, well, they're so true they deserve to be TYPED THAT WAY. The Nissan has just 362 km (about 220 miles!) on its odometer, the delivery plastic still apparently on its seats, and nary a nick, dent, or trim piece out of place. It is, in essence, a brand-spankin'-new 18-year-old car.
The R34 Skyline GT-R's mileage is "verified," and the interior apparently "still smells like a new car." Its original manuals are included, as are "maintenance records," though that last part is confusing—what maintenance, besides keeping air in the tires and occasional engine startups has this minty Nissan been given? Well, actually, hopefully that means the oil and fluids were changed every so often, ditto the gas in the tank, and hoses and the like were checked. A lot of work can go into keeping a factory fresh car, um, fresh in the absence of actual use over the years.

I mean, if you want a car that'll mainly attract a bunch of dudes and a handful of insufferable "car chicks," then sure, take the car.

Driven the R34 many times, it's a big thing with lots of speed and good grip in mid-corner but it isn't that much fun to be honest. I'd take something like an S2000 anyday ... Hell, even a RWD GT-T of the same generation with a proper LSD and manual transmission would be more fun.

Both of you are essentially arguing over different levels of collector hobbies. In terms of pricing, the person arguing for the cheaper option makes more sense in this specific case, especially if they don't care enough about said hobby as much as the other person does.Imagine being a "grown ass man" choosing video game consoles over a car, that has a purpose and function.
LOL
As far as I know, this is the pricing hierarchy:
Private Planes > Private Yachts > Art > High Value Jewelry > Automobiles > Jewelry > Sneakers > Trading Cards > Designer Clothing > Toys > Video games > Books > Movies

If you get unlimited free games you could resell on eBay cheaper than any competitors and eventually make enough money to buy your own car.
Put together 500 boxes that each contain 500 games, and sell those 500 boxes for $1,000 each. You've just made $500,000.00, so you can get your car and your games.

there are many cars that I'd rather have than a GTR.
But dream car with lifetime warranty over console gaming? Easy choice.

Yeah, I would sell it if I’m allowed, invest the money on stocks or something then buy all consoles and the biggest PC and a couple guitars and some other more fun stuff.
Unfortunately regular sports cars has lost it’s edge after trying Tesla. I don’t like their looks or sound or well just about anything but the way they launch and just keeps on pulling is quite obsene and hard to forget.

This OP is something I would have posted circa 2001. Peak Gran Turismo/Fast and Furious era.

R34’s are deadset everywhere in Australia for about $20k ($13k freedoms) the base cars are shit. Even a full boosted AWD or RWD R34 doesn’t feel special here since they where so common as we all learned to drive.
The midnight purple VSpec2 being worth what it is feels weird to me, but Americans love these things I think since having missed out on them.
You want a VL Calais Turbo.

I would fuck up that car so bad. It would be a crime to give that to me. You'd cry.
Me and my wife are interested in importins some cars of that vintage, tho. She's looking at a Curren. For me, I don't know. Maybe an FTO. Mitsubishis are hot garbage so it doesn't matter if I destroy it.

Sport cars like the Nissan r34 require a lot of maintenance, and are a nightmare to drive in the winter.

Games and consoles.
And I love cars, but they are money sinks and I definitely wouldn't do it for that pile of junk. Then again, I wouldn't do it for an Aston Martin, my favourites, either.
If I really wanted to try a sports car, I'd just go to a track day. That way you can try a variety of cars, and, you know, actually push them a bit. Plus maybe try some cars that are only allowed on tracks.

What a bizarre choice.
What about this instead;
You can have a fight with this fine specimen or
you can have a nose like this

Well it's quite easy honestly if you think about it for 3 seconds...
You obviously choose the car (wether you are interested in it or not) so you can use it / sell it.
First, It says you can have PS5/xbox SX/switch and all their games for free, that means once the gen is over, you don't get shit anymore.
Secondly, the deal is you can't BUY GAMES, but it says nothing about buying consoles and or receiving games for free and still play them. Just have someone offer you the games you want. And you still have a 200k+$ (that's going to get more and more expensive with the time) car.
EDIT: and as someone mentionned, this says nothing about PC gaming whatsoever, so I guess sell the car and buy a powerfull PC and the controller of you choice with whatever games you want

I'd go for the car, and I don't even like it. Just basic math. I already have all the consoles, and any game I want. I do not have $250k for this car lol.

Those balls on that megamonkey... That's some serious.testosterone factory. Just look at that muscular bod. Give that chimp some well deserved insulin therapy an automatic rifle and send it into ukraine.What a bizarre choice.

I can still buy a car after taking the games for free, right?
Then games it is. Okay, I'm probably not able to afford that car, but there are cheaper and also fun to drive cars also made for motorsports.
The Toyota GR Yaris is an amazing car and often the preferred one for amateur races on Nürburgring even by people owning way beefier cars. It's just so much fun to drive.
Had the chance to try it out on a test track at Nürburgring.
