Just curious, but you are one of the very few people on this forum to regularly use profanity and vulgar language. Why?You need I don't give a fuck money. That is relative. You've conflated that to "rich", whatever "rich" means to you. This is a goddamn Civic board, people are worried about the difference in payments between a Si and a Sport. Hint - we're talking dozens of dollars a month. This is where you hand wave and say pffft that's nothing. Congratulations, you're richer than most on this board. At least have the decency to recognize it.
I'm glad you have shit tons of spare time and a willingness to buy all the tools and supplies you need to do all that work. Your time is worth money, believe it or not. You may not value it, but I value my time and I don't want to HAVE to do maintenance because otherwise I can't afford it. Doing an oil change on a mid-engine car is not easy, no matter how much you want to poo-poo it. A shop charges $200 (More like 300-400) easy for an oil change on one. You never answered how many miles you put on it. My guess is it wasn't 100,000 miles.
How do you afford the Porsche in the first place unless you have money? Nobody gives loans for old ass cars, especially old ass luxury sports cars like Porsche. You're paying out of pocket or you're taking on an incredibly bad loan. And you can't count on depreciation being the only expense - there is the off chance your Porsche needs serious work when you own it, serious work that would blow the hole in the budget of any average American. Serious work that is needed or your Porsche that has great resale value in good condition is now worth almost nothing. That is not a risk that a person without money should take.
I said earlier I've owned 2x BMW 3-series. Your snobbery is unwarranted. Compared to Hondas I've owned, they were a complete pain in the ass. They are not set it and forget it cars.
It's really not necessary, and really shows your immaturity.
I'm sure, but I'm probably not the only one on here who really does not appreciate it.
Let me ask, do you have an anger management issue because using excessive profanity is a sign.
Just saying.
Regarding doing my own maintenance, I really enjoy working on my cars, as it's very educational, and not a chore at all, quite therapeutic and a great use of my time.
Just to let you know, many people who own sports cars do their own maintenance, as it helps them learn more about their cars.
