A benefit of consulting: fast cars
As a consultant, you should be earning a fairly healthy salary. You always hear of stories of people (consultants) that earn hundreds of thousands of dollars per year and get to blow the money on whatever they want.
That may not be the best personal finance strategy; I’m just saying it happens.
One thing you can spend your hard earned consulting money on? A bunch of high performance engine parts for your sports car. New or old, you can hook up with a high quality machining shop to really fine tune your engine.
I’m actually more a fan of the older sports cars. Newer cars, at least some of them in my opinion, are designed so that only your dealership or authorized service shop can work on the car. I know that’s how some of the new BMW’s are set up — there is a plastic “shroud” over just about every part of the engine. Definitely not for the driver to work on!
Older cars — BMWs, Porsches, MGs, Alfa Romeos… take your pick, now that’s what I’m talking about. You can take a socket set and really go to town on the engine all by yourself if you so choose. Check out Ora’s Engines!
