His family owns construction companies, hotels and construction stores (similar to a Lowes or Home Depot). His parents just gives him a credit card and he spends. Lol

The 12 month POS at a dealership will cost about $1100.
- Oil change ($36 for oil (Mobil1 0W-40) + $8 filter + $40 labor)
- willall tranny fluid ($700) + 1 hour labor ($90)
- diff fluid ($90 from a local mercedes dealership) + 1 hour labor ($90)
Brake changes are about half that at a Nissan dealership @ around $8k. But you act like dealership rip offs are a new concept. A set of pads is around $500, a set of rotors is around $1000. Do it yourself or take it to a trusted mechanic.
Extreme performance vehicles are expensive to maintain. I thought that was common knowledge.
As far as R8 vs GTR, the only way I would own an R8 is if I already had a GTR and a few other super high end exotics. It's way too overpriced for the performance you get. Sure it's sexy looking, but so is a Porsche 911 and "budget" Lambo/Ferrari's. Audi would be at the bottom of my Must Have Exotics/Supercars list.
Complaining about maintenance cost is kinda funny. Do I want the faster in every category $90,000 car that costs $5000/year to maintain or the prettier $160,000 car that costs $4000/year to maintain. GTR please.

I didn't take any shots of how much his maintence would costs, but I can assure you I saw 1.8k for an oil change. Lol He can't do it himself because of special bolts and is pure ignorant on cars (he couldn't even tell that there was a nail in his tire).
You also have to remember. He gets everything OEM, but for some reason... he seems to be very careful about hourly parking for $8 because.. "THATS EXPENSIVE!!"
Imagine a very VERY VERY. Narrow minded person.
Edit: I also forgot to mention... (strange part comin' up) he's my boyfriend's cousin's boyfriend. Lol.
