House Or Ferrari
Right if some bank or building society lent you 150,000 quid, what would you buy, a House or a ferrari.
I reckon Ferrari.
Missus reckons house.
Everyone has one, but not every one has a Ferrari

House as it will appreicate in value where as the Ferrari will lose lots of money.

I'd have a Ferrari, but that's only because I already have a house! 
If I had neither, I'd choose the house, wait a few years and then buy a Ferrari with some equity! Assuming the bloody house has increased in value of course!

Silly question but for 150k you could have both!
Get a used 355/360/any older ferrari and buy a house. You might still be able to buy a F430 and a cheap 30k house/flat

Depends, house prices are falling now, and if you ordered an F430 early you could use it for a couple of weeks, then sell it for a profit to someone who cant be arsed spending ages on the waiting list for the new model. Then you invest the money and buy a house in a few years when prices bottom out
Obviously you'd need to already live in a nice house to do this - cant park a car like that on some Barrat box-home driveway!!

A house (and a Scoob).
150k pounds is CDN $330k-ish.
A new STi would be $47k, so I'd have $283k left, which would buy a pretty decent place in Toronto.
I'm sure Id have enough to rent a Ferrari for a couple of days. I'd have to be extremely well off to even consider owning one.
