CARPE TESTIS!!!!
I'm on a "mere" 5 figure salary. And none of those figures are particularly high numbers.

I have a PC that will run anything. In headtracked Stereoscope. I quite literally walked through Half Life (well, leaned on a Wii balance board for lateral motion TBH). It's also watercooled, but that's pretty passe nowadays.

I have a car that will hit any speed limit in the UK faster than most(and brake just as fast and straight, safety fans!).

My "home cinema" such as it is is far higher than HD resolution thanks to nabbing two SXGA projectors "on the cheap". And an internet-full of videos.

Oh, and I've got a good pension and a very affordable mortgage and owe no-one anything apart from that mortgage. I did just blitz my savings with the car, though.

I cook a bitchin' steak.

So I've got most of what you've described except with the added bonus of extra stability and a future after the money runs out. Oh, and a car described as "just as much of a penis extension as a Porsche". Except mine's longer.

So to answer your question of "What's Better?", money safely stashed away for a rainy day but doing what you want. The best is the middle (though I tend to lean towards your POV).

@Anyone else: Do I sound like a total twat too? I'm not intending to.

hmm
Vauxhall Monaro?

Nope
Far older, far slower than a Monaro (or a 911). And the penis extension comment was from some cynical feminist.

But it'll still outrun essentially any chav-mobile, Focus-es, any people carrier, anything French etc. And these make up the majority of cars in the UK.

No, yours was a less cunty post
And your car's /much/ longer than his, so definitely I prefer you.

A full 10 cm longer, baby.
That's 4" more penis-extension than the OP.

The grille of my car
Resembles a front bottom.

Does that count?
