A 10% return on 80K isn't "getting rich." It's saving for a rainy day or a retirement supplement.
In fact, 80K is barely enough to get a business going and that's only if you bust your ass at it. Then maybe after five years you'll be able to buy that old 80s Ferrari.

though for me, you'd have to change it to 10 inches, and you'd have to change inches to millimeters, and you'd have to change 10 to 5 and you'd have to change dick to poor excuse for one.

do you already own a house? If not, fuck the car. Either way 80K would certainly change the scope of a lot of shit, for me anyways. A car would be really far down on the list of importance.
If your going to spend it on a car, why not just drop 80K down on a new ferrari?
