A 1962 100-hwan note. The type only circulated for twenty-six days in a country which had a far different economy than it does today. A nice specimen easily sells for two or three Realforces (the official GH currency exchange rate)

I would love to own a Seiko SBGA011 but I don't think I could justify spending $7,000 on a watch.

As others have pointed out a $7k watch does not fit the sprit of the thread and all the mention of cars made me remember the Lexus LFA. I have loved the design since I first laid eyes upon it.

I live in Singapore, the small area of hell where you have to fork out 90k to buy a certificate which entitles you to even own a car......before you even buy a car........

Essentially a piece of paper which is worth 90k........(and its per car you own btw)

Well... Come to USA, student visa, simple degree, say nursing, degree takes 2 years, $65,000 per year job on night shift, in 4 years time you can qualify for auto loans to get pretty much Any Car within $200k..

This is actually very doable... There are small downsides to this, you work with some sick people..

But in terms of "demand" and "academic rigorousness", it's all within "very possible" category.

Nursing is quite easy in books, and YOU ALREADY know english.

A virtual entity would be like a GOD, unless you became one without admin privileges and someone pulled your ethernet cord before you could upload yourself to www

serioustalk about the gt-r. WHAT is with the new pricing? a buddy of mine just bought one of the last of the e90 m3s (ie, he bought a new one now, and they will be winding down production quite soon). he said he would have gotten a gt-r if they were still price competitive with the m3. a hundred grand for a gt-r vs any of the competitors at under 100k? AND on top of that you get no service contract and have to bring it to nissan dealerships of all places for warranty service AND ON TOP OF THAT THEY VOID YOUR WARRANTY IF YOU TRACK YOUR CAR?!?

c'mon nissan. C'MON

I would have gotten an M3 as well. It's got to be supply and demand. Wasn't the MSRP like $75k when they came out?

I think the cheapest car on the list so far is the GT-R, which goes for around $90k, right? So if that is what you call "very affordable", you must be quite wealthy and completely out of touch with how most people live. That would also probably explain the disdain for Obama...
