09 Acura TL Tech SH-AWD
Great looking car with an amazing, tech filled interior. Also pretty quick, sounds great and handles with virtually no understeer (referring to the SH-AWD). Acura runs really good lease specials and they hold their value better than any other luxury brand.

At 20-30k a month the cheapest car I would get is a brand spankin new RS4. If you're not too concerned about having 4 seats and a large boot then that opens up a ton more options. RS4, M3 sedan would be my choices for cars with decent space and decent sportiness. If you don't need 4 spacious seats, 4 doors, and a big boot... hmmm... I think if I got picked up by a business partner (or business partner to be) in anything other than an Aston Martin. The V12 Vantage would be a great car. There's tons and tons of options out there though for someone that makes as much as you 
I'm surprised the Evo is your only car.

I would get a nice BMW but I would not spend 100k or close to one. You make good today tomorrow no1 knows what may happen so personally I would keep it nice, classy and under 80k. I have a friend who just picked up a 08 M5 with 17k Miles for 68,000. When new just a few months back it carried a tag of 112,000.

I'm surprised the Evo is your only car.Not trying to hate but just trying to put 2 and 2 together. If he has so much money why is his car rather basic besides having bolts on and a big turbo
If you were to make ~100k in 3-4 months you can walk into ANY dealership and try ANY car you want and merely show a bank statement. I dunno just seems very odd to me. I know alot of wealthy people none of which flaunt how much they make...they let their success speak for itself.Oddly enough this is becoming a trend of him posting his "assets" and people not believing him. I really don't understand the need to post what you make numerous times over the past two years.

Ya know I have a rather hard time believing this. I don't know too many people that make a 1/4mil a year flaunt what they make on an online forum comprised of people predominately under 25. This screams "hey look at me I need attention" Why post what you make to simply ask what luxury car you want? The op said he's 20yrs old...this makes me think his dad own's the business or he works for the business or inherited it. Maybe I am wrong...for some reason I don't think so though.

Neither the M3, RS4 etc do that. If it were my dime, id be looking at something like an Audi A8L or even a S8, Mercedes S-Class, or a CPO'd Bentley. I think the Audi would be a tad more understated and there for less d-bag ish. You have to remember that if you drive something nice, 80% of people will think you're a d-bag anyway, maybe even some of your less eccentric clientele. I’d play it safer with the Audi.

Who knows. Why does he want to lease a car too? Why not just save cash for 3 months and buy the Ferrari dealership?I'm not saying it isn't possible, even at 20, but it is kinda crazy.

That's exactly what you're doing. If he does make bank, great if not sucks for him. It was important enouhg for you you to post up two paragraphs about it, that's the sad thing really.
