Don't know what RNs you are used to working with, but plenty of RNs in major urban areas are well above $100k a piece - some specialty RNs are ~$150k.
Still crazy to be buying a brand new GT3 even on a $300k household salary unless there's substantial other income there.
Anyway: In my younger years, I'd read car reviews about how amazing earlier M3s were or Subaru WRXs or other vehicles and then I'd drive/buy them and not feel the love. They weren't fun to putter around in day to day, while retaining alot of sacrifices.
Then I realized that alot of those cars journalists LOVE on the track or backroad bombing actually are only really enjoyable in those environments. Hence I started searching for the "perfect" car. e39 m5 to start, but needed something lighter, more agile, with more power and modern reliability.
