Yes, but $5k isn't happening.

I'm 56. 35 would be the right age for a mistress 🙂

Yeah the only way I would do that is if it was going to get me to hang onto a car and get more value out of it. I’ve considered color wrapping my S560 if it would get me to be satisfied keeping it a few years.

I do the clearbra on every new car and that’s $2,000…so $5k for the whole car isn’t terrible.

Yeah, that's what I keep telling myself.

Maybe someday I will believe it. Lol

It is worse than terrible. Lol

That's $5k you will never get back and doesn't increase trade in value a dollar. 🤓

So? Not every dollar one spends in an investment lol, it would be for my own enjoyment. Most of the money any of us spend we “never get back”’…

Maybe it's the picture, but that looks more like a cheap looking "chrome" wrap to me. 🤔 The hood looks good, but the sides look too chrome. It must be the picture.

Sort of like this - just a different color chrome

It’s the picture, it’s not a chrome wrap at all

guessing it's either an overly "HDR'ed" pic (or a samsung pic, lol) or just lots of shine on the wrap from cleaning/wax whatever.

I'm trying to use this exact line of reasoning and justification as we speak for some equipment I don't need but WANT. Lol

Dammit. Lol

Clarification, the silver car not the green! 😬 🤓
