Few Testarossas stayed with one owner for 30 years. Those who bought it new got what they wanted. Those who bought them dirt cheap 10-15 years ago got a taste of the dreams of their youth. And those who bought them as an investment at half the price they are now, got what they wanted. I've yet to meet an unhappy Testarossa owner.
I've owned a few borderline supercars but would never go overboard into a proper one. They invoke some violent reactions from people. And lower tier cars as an 'investment' rather than the blue chip stuff are a mirage if you own them for long periods. They'll break even maybe but all that maintenance and taxation adds up rapidly.
It's a different matter if you've bought within the last few years maybe but they're only worth what others'll pay. Not the most liquid thing you can ever own. I think a shit ton of people will be burned with the more modest stuff. Old style BMW M3 Evo Sport's go for up to $150,000. I nearly bought one at $10,000 but it was a dog. That doesn't smell sustainable to me.
I'd happily spend my days polishing a Diablo, an '89 M5 and a 993 when I'm not watching the charts. You have to enjoy it a bit if it's gonna be worthwhile. XJ220 is still underpriced, I'd polish the shit out of that!
As underwhelming as the XJ220 is, I wouldn't go anywhere near that thing .
I keep a pretty low amount in my checking account, just enough to pay a couple months of bills. I don't really see any reason to keep more than that in my account.

I'm definitely pulling hard for eBay to accept BTC.

Re: [ANN][CSC] ♠ CasinoCoin v1.3 ♥ ♦ 1.5+ Years Old ♣
Here we go - price and volume starting to really pick up. Looking at the technicals, we had big consolidation and accumulation at around 2k sat and so the next leg up looks like 5-6k sat, with a possible overshoot to 10k sat.
If the casino whales don't ruin it for everyone else we should be able to easily hit these numbers in the next few days.
Happy times...
sat = ?

Well someone really wanted some CSC . I'm assuming Cryptsy is the only exchange with any real CSC volume?

Re: [ANN] INFINITECOIN - UPDATE TO 1.8.8 visit INFINITECOIN.COM
When I replace the blk0001.dat file in my ~/roaming/Infinitecoin directory with this file and then restart the client, it still tries to download the blockchain from the beginning.

Wasn't there a rumor going around last year about ebay creating their own currency instead of adopting bitcoin? I wonder which would be more likely?
I really hate articles on Wall Street Journal. We'd have to subscribe to read the full story. From the headline, I basically already know the gist of it, but can someone copy and paste the whole article on here?
Just Google the title of the article. WSJ doesn't apply its paywall to visitors that follow a link from Google (presumably to lure in new potential customers).
