To your point why pay as much as a house if you either don't even have a house or your house is $300k less nice as you would like it to be. We spend more time in our house than a car. For this reason most Lambo owners either have a phat house too or simply don't want one and are fine spending the extra $ on the car.

I personally am always aware that the $270k tied up in a car is depreciating in value. Whereas a $270k more real estate value is going up 10% or so in a good market. That said, we aren't tying up the full price of the car. We are only paying the depreciation which is only absorbed when we sell it. So if I drive the crap out of mine and sell for $180k then I really only spend $90k for the 5 years of having an awesome car. And as a car fanatic since I was a child that is well worth it to me!
Well I did do the $90k over 5 year breakdown against the 2 hr $300 rental. I guess that comes out to $1500 a month. And as long as you drive the car over 10 hours a month, ownership will make more sense than renting it for $150 per hour. But this is just the depreciation, I haven't factored in the gas, maintenance, insurance, other expenses that I used up during my rental time, which I'm sure adds up. I drove about 80 miles in my 2 hour drive. My $300 2 hr ride included gas and insurance, and the guy was nice enough to let me have an extra 20-30 minutes to come back probably b/c he knew there be traffic.

But $300 for 2 hours is the best deal to rent a Lamborghini, especially a Huracan instead of a Gallardo. Most Groupon deals I see is like $100 for 5 laps in a Lamborghini in a parking lot, and at that point it's just a tease.
