Dad is spending my inheritance!!!

Ricci Wright

Talked to Dad last night and he mentioned he had just ordered a new BMW 760 V12 twin turbo. Dad is in his mid eighties and doesn?t drive much anymore. He is trading in his two year old X5 M with 11000 miles. I tried to talk him into a nice used Malibu but he just wouldn?t go for it. [:0][:)] Damn I could have used that hundred and sixty grand. [}:)][:D]

But... Isn't he a little old to go through a mid-life crisis?[:D][:D]

It IS a mid-life crisis if he lives to be 160 years old![:D]

Good on him! I worked with a worm that told me, "If that old man doesn't quit spending money he won't have any to leave me". He died about six months after his Dad. Karma. [^]

Love the 7 series. We had a 735i and then a 740il back in the 90s, absolutely great road cars.

Ricci Wright

Are you sure? Maybe she's lost all of her libido and looking for a surrogate to help out with the....deed also[:0][:0][:0][;)][:D]

I had a step mother too![}:)] It was a typical "Cinderella" story![:(]

Inheritance is just a myth for many, but I was happy for my dad, who found great comfort with a woman 22 years younger.

That sounds awesome!!! My Dad will leave behind a Hyundai Sante Fe that has damage on every corner from his hitting things![8D]

Sounds like your step Mom wants a pick up car to attract another well off dud when Dad passes. Or, your inheritance might go to a 25 year old that will keep her happy until she goes.

mogley98

That is a lot of car to sit idle, perhaps I can help out and put some miles on it for him!

Always willing to help out I am.

FIXED IT
Needed some photos, not a car most would be shopping for and not many on the street, depending on where you live.

0 to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds? That?ll get your passengers? attention, no doubt.

Without a doubt a lot even more of a buck for the bang.[:D]

Ricci Wright

No not that one. He ordered a 760 sedan.

Ricci Wright

They have been together for forty years and she is driving a 2018 BMW 750 M series mostly cause my Dad loves BMW. She would be just as happy in a Honda Accord. quote:Originally posted by mnrivrat48

I am betting that is HIS plan, Ricci can get his own, being a big power seller on GunBroker.[:D]

That is a lot of car. All wheel drive and 4 wheel steering, over 600hp and it gets 22mpg[:0]

Worst investment you could do at his age unless he finds a mistress/girlfriend with it! Then he will go broke for sure. [:D]

I never considered any car or truck I have ever bought as an investment. They are more of a necessity that each ongoing year takes a value dive. The older I get, the less I enjoy driving. Too many out on the roads lacking common sense![|)]

That's why I quit riding motorcycles.

Ricci Wright

He lives in Nevada and there are lots of open roads there. Dad has always spent money on cars and I?m sure he never considered any to be investments. My stepmother is pretty good at investing and Dad bought early Microsoft stock. After he left the Marines in the early 1960?s he got a union card out of NY in the stage workers union and spent most of the rest of his life in the technical side of show business on both coasts. He was entertainment director for the Flamingo Hilton for a number of years and closed out his career running the big trade shows for Bill Gates at Microsoft. My stepmother was in education for over 40 years,is a PHD and retired as a big wig administrator for Clark County,Nv. They worked hard for their money and I am happy they are enjoying it.
