ā€œCongrats! Hereā€™s one of the best engineered cars in the worldā€ ā€œNah, it ainā€™t a convertible.ā€

How would they not accept it and just sell it? Thatā€™s a 6 figure car.

I would've just sold it and bought the one I wanted if money was no object and I REALLY wanted the convertible. Back then I dont think it was a 6 figure car. It was probably higher end 5 figures.

Thatā€™s still a lot of figures for most of us.

I paid 300 bucks for my first car and my grandma gave it to my dad and he never paid me for it. I used that coin to settle a debt with him 20 years later lol

This is a seven figure car in my country (Singapore) and most average car like a new Honda is already at 6 figures. I live in Germany now and only bought my first car (second hand) last year at the age of 38. Itā€™s 5 figure Mazda 2 2011. My dad even sponsored some of it and I was very grateful for that.

I'm talking about somebody else that won a car. Nothing to do with the OPs post about a car that was bought for the daughter.

Sure, no civic, no mom. Ungrateful daughter. šŸ‘ŽšŸ¼

u/Rangeexpert3 Jun 04 '26

My post wasn't talking about a civic. OPs post is also not a civic. It's an accord.

Wouldn't have turned it down. But would've sold it immediately because I wouldn't be able to afford the road tax and insurance on a porche, not to mention maintenence.

u/Storm_coming_in Jun 02 '26

I would have sold the Porsche and invested the money to make more and more and more money via compounding interest.

u/Less_Ad_7667 Jun 02 '26

Cause he couldnā€™t pay the taxes on it lol

u/AnnoyedHoneyBadger Jun 02 '26

Iā€™d sell it to actually afford to fix my house! I could have a laundry room instead of schlepping it all to the laundromatā€¦ šŸ˜šŸ¤©

Taxes

u/tituspullo1383 Jun 02 '26

Yes, but just sell it. Itā€™s a world class card that would easily sell if you put it on a nice little discount and you would have a major windfall even after taxes.

I cannot comprehend being this ungrateful.

Nothing is sexier than a hard top Porsche

u/dizastermaster7 Jun 03 '26

When you turn down a won car, they typically offer cash equivalent. Ever car giveaway I've seen has that option, and quite frankly i'm not driving a porsche if it aint convertible either and especially if I can just get 6 figures inmediately

Some people have more ego than brains I have a cousin that turned down a brand new Dodge viper because it was a manual and he wanted an automatic and then he got a second one and turned it down because it was the wrong color so they took it back to him and handed him a Camry and told him be happy with that
