You had a Lotus Esprit. BIG deal. And just because you took a picture of a Lotus doesnt mean it was yours. And having a Lotus is NOT a status symbol by any means. Son you live in North Carolina, live with it. According to Zillow.com your condo is worth $170,000. In my neighborhood that is a down payment. In fact there is a 1/2 acre lot down the street for $2,000,000.00, so start saving. You are not going to be able to justify lving in North Carolina, furniture capital of the world...hahaha, I loved that one
