I had to wait till I was 52 years old to be in the proper position to buy one of these cars. I went to dental school, built a practice and worked for 33 years to afford my car. Most of the owners hear are not young men and have worked their way up the ladder so to speak. I truly do understand your appreciation for this car but don't be discourage if things take time.

Honestly I would recommend buying some more modest cars and enjoy your climb up the scale.

I am jealous. Good fortune is very real and also the down turn for some. There are no guarantees in this life and as the OP admits some are born into fortune. I was not and still work hard to pay the bills and pleasures. Not complaining at all for I am blessed beyond most but not with out great effort.

Profits from Apple stock bought my GTC (BTW - you want a GTC, not a GT. You are much too young to own a GT and will be for quite some time. Ok?)

So, I would suggest that you talk your parents into loaning you say $100,000 for five years. Then buy Apple stock with it (AAPL) and hang on for dear life. In 5 years you will be 22 and sporting a GTC.

Tom will you loan me $100'000 a year for five years and wait for five more? I will pay you back the principle and $10 if I make profit. If I don't I'll just send you the $10. If you die before then, well------- I'm just to the good.

Loan? Start some shadow/shell company. Then simply borrow off the current assets from multiple banks and use leverage within the market. It is the same thing those Big Guys like JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, etc do each and every day. This is simple math and market forces. It is not rocket science. If things go South, just claim bankruptcy, close out that shell company and then wash, rinse, repeat. Ask Donald Trump how easy it is to wipe out major debt time and time again

With my luck I would be the first case that they "made an example" out of. I'd be the first guy to rot in prison for it. I'm still waiting for the Merrymicrobe to come up with the easy cash. And he's really old so he might have expired before the note comes due.

b/c he's too busy enjoying the music. lol There are multiple paths to getting a Bentley, there's no right or wrong path, there will be speed bumps along the way, and majority of the population only dream of this path but very few who actually walks towards it to the end. Now send me $5 to my paypal account, I didn't get to where I am by giving free advice.

That method is not respectable and in the grand scheme of things where there is a big GOD settling accounts I don't need to rack up any more demerits.
