Any particular manufacturer?

 

I find the sound of the 5.0L used in mustangs particularly appealing.

 

I'm toying with the idea of getting a GT 350 once I've paid off my car.  Upstate NY sucks for cars though.

That sounds fun.  In the future I'd like to do something similar with some old American muscle.  No land currently though.

Got tons of land currently, AND a barn.

 

My problem is no dinero.

Can't vouch for the Mustang, but a Jaguar F-Type ?

You've never heard one at a stoplight?

 

It's pretty distinctive, that 5.0.

 

 

And here's the M3 (admittedly an Alpina, but hey) @LeviF91@BuffaloBud

With respect, I don’t know where that came from. I won’t go back and read them all, but money never came up in MY response, and I don’t recall seeing it in anybody else’s response. 

 

Happiness trumps money all day long, every day.

Maybe in your world. 

 

But not in mine. 

 

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan, and I’d rather have money than not, but it does not equal happiness. I’ve known plenty of miserable rich people, as well as people who had very little but were completely happy.

I'm with you. It's taken time, but once I adjusted to living a much lower-cost lifestyle (admittedly, involuntarily), I find myself much more grateful for what I DO have and overall, in a much happier place.

People always try to generalize the principle in this classic argument.

 

It's specialized. The fact is that money can equal happiness in certain situations and not in others. 

 

I don't think money can be included in the best things in life, since it can also be involved with the worst things in life.

 

So, the answer to the thread needs to be what that money is getting you.

A lot (almost everything) of what people have said requires money. Which is why money is hands down the best thing in life.

Yes, it’s certainly not simple. It’s very important to have enough money to take care of your family and provide for their needs, etc. Not having enough money to meet basic needs can lead to unhappiness.  Money can allow you to travel and pursue your interests. Money is good for a lot of things!  But it does not directly equate to happiness. That is something inside you. Winning the Powerball can actually make lives worse. Tricky stuff.

I’ll take health and happiness over money all day long.

We have all seen money buy you health... and happiness comes with it.

But you can health and happiness without money. You can also have money without health and happiness. 

 

Anyway, you are welcome to your views and I respect that, but I think I’m done on this front.

You don’t have anything if you don’t have your health. Everything else is “nice”, but is ultimately meaningless without health & happiness of yourself and loved ones.

Which is why money is the best b/c you can buy you way out of bad health situations. More money you have better access to those meds if something does happen. You have to use an equal view when looking at things. Cant assume a guy without money wont encounter health problems. In the end Money trumps all. This is the world we all live in and the way it will keep turning.
