I'm a simple construction field engineer who got lucky a few times with job bonuses and ZERO KIDS/ZERO WIVES.

This is key. My friend is in the same field and his married friends are quite jealous of how he enjoys his money.

Being married hasn't hurt me financially @ all.

The kid hasn't either, but the $1200+/mo. childcare expense hasn't started yet! (when it does, it'll be worth every penny)

If you can afford the M6 you can afford a ferrari just not a brand new one. Mantaining a ferrari will hurt the wallet alot worse than the BMW though. Ferrari maintanence is definitly not a myth.

Well, I suppose I can own a POS Ferrari 308 and pretend to be Magnum PI.

The 2000 360 Modena is in that price range. If I'm right that your M6 was about $80000 after your discount.

But I don't want an old Ferrari. I wanted the 360 Modena back then. I don't want it now. Besides, I seriously doubt that I would consider taking that car for anything but a day trip. Cross country trip is out of the question on a Ferrari unless you're a millionaire and can afford a tow job when in the middle of bum fuck egypt.

That's right! My wife was going to quit her job to raise our son, but I have little job security w/ good pay. She has great job security (govt. agency) w/ OK pay.

We decided that maintining diversification of income sources is important in this economy, but we didn't want to sacrifice our child's care.

This one was recommended by a co-worker, and we never even thought to shop around for the lowest price.
