The issue is situational at best. If you have investments that are predicted to put you over the loan interest rate, it's your decision whether to take that risk or not.

As far as the car itself, I'm looking into it as somewhat of an investment in of itself. I'm looking to move up to Silicon Valley (hence SV, hence Ess Vee) and to get investors/programmers on board, what you drive is all part of the message you send. The message this car sends I think would be in line of what I'm trying to do.

I think the car says (I took an art class, so bare with me :P):
young
somewhat risky (which adds to the excitement)
refined aggression
well-rounded

Curious to as what your thoughts would be.
I wouldn't look at any car as an investment, it is just an expense. Yes, some times the type of car goes hand in hand with the job but it is always an expense.

Also, unfortunately, here in SV, the price of an FRS is no where near enough for a down payment for a decent house. Let along to make any money from the rent after paying the mortgage and taxes.
