Do you measure success by the car someone drives?

[Hulkster]

what I did at university (bio) sort of lead me into what I did at the post grad (environmental engineering). I became interested in water and wastewater treatment (which is all biology and chemistry) and I landed a spot in that feild..

the prospects directly out of university for those with a bio bachelor's degree in my area were not that great. you need a masters or PhD to get anything decent directly in biology.

otherwise, your stuck working in a lab for $10 per hour on contract work for the rest of your life..

not good..

I'm sorry, but most every successful CEO and business owner I've ever met drives a nice car.  Sure, you'll find your exceptions to the rule -( millionair's who drive Subaru's and Honda's) - but that's a rarity, imo.  A lot of you have delusions of what a "nice car" is.  A Hummer with big wheels is not a Nice car.  H2's can be had on the cheap, used.  A BMW three series is not a "nice car"...again, those can be had on the cheap, used.  A fucking Toyota Venza is pushing 30 grand these days, and thats what an entry level BWM can be had for.

99% chance if you see someone driving this they are successful:



It's a 100K + ride!

my dad has the 2006 730d... nice ride.. love it

about the cars... it does show how much money you got or you can show others you have... but there are exeptions. one of my friends, his parents own 90% of the transport biz in paraguay, so he is a millionare many times over and over and over.. he just won a "Licitacion" to work with the state of 10 million dolars a year for 5 years with itaipu and won the gambling "licitacion" too.. which gives free 9 million a month... and he drives a bmw 318 97...

People always think this is an expensive car. Maybe it was years ago...

Yes in your country pakistan, they cant even afford to rent a car for 1hour the rule applies.
In a normal country it is different, ask daddy to send you to school in UK or something.
Alex23s hummer is from 1996 it is hardly anything to speak about, something weird about that guy.
Lots of selpromotion in this thread, amusing.
But Sevaste was even funnier posting a pic of himself wearing a Romanian suit in the getbig millionaire
thread. seva never even had a car in his entire life.

If you have more than 1 decent car, it's fair to say (well hopefully, anyway) that you have a bit of coin.

hehe I know of this one businessman who has many a fancy car yet has personal debts of up to $12 mill 

but what having fancy cars tells the person IS SUCCESSFUL because SUCCESS is getting what you want and what other people desire got nothing to do with the means(debt) to get there
