to not drive shiny car


but then i always think expensive car actually represents taking a 3 year vacation without salary, when you really think of it


i would rather do that instead

All cars are shiny.

That's how they make them.

IMHO it is, unless you are where you want to be in life and the money is spare it's a waste,
I'd take a large deposit on a buy to let over a fancy car any day

yeah i always conclude that it's only something you would do if you have already arrived financially

and you are just relaxing with a ton of money

then there is no reason not to buy shiny car


but it's a bit weird to see average people drive audi 6, bmw 7, etc but at the same time they could not afford to stop working for a year or two straight

which they easily could for the price difference of their car and a cheap car


see mine point?

By the time you can spend $100k on a car, you are also at the point where you could not live for 3 years on that same $100k.

is it for YOU? will it make YOU happy? or is it to impress other people??

when i think of peoples life style

i think of cheesy bruce lee quotes


ITS NOT ABOUT THE DAILY INCREASE, ITS ABOUT THE DAILY DECREASE, HACK AWAY AT THE NONESENTIAL

ideally i want to arrive at a point where i can live on less and less money (like after house completely paid off etc, you dont pay loan anymore) and just sleep late every day no working, just some bodybuilding and porn

Remember: you can sleep in your car, but you can't race your house.

In my case, I got my first shiny car because my wife took me to the motor show on Fathers day - after taking me to the pub for lunch and getting me shitfaced.

It's still not 100% clear exactly what happened.

see mine point?

I agree, I also know people with expensive cars on finance without even the spare cash to repair it if it goes wrong and if they missed even 1 month salary their life is fucked and the whole house of cards falls.

It's to impress other people. Namely, 18 yr old girls. Just like the arms.

yes

but bodybuilding isnt that expensive if you buy cheap food and use basic steroids


cars are a different game

i dont think i want to play it


i rather sleep late and take a 1 year vacation again some day soon

When I'm rolling in my truck and see some phag in a tiny, ugly Asian car I like to think of var city.

The only exceptions being the hilux and fjcruiser.

Back in the days I had a Yamaha R1....I girl said it was a penis enlargement! I didnt really understand what she meant. It was my boydream, and now I had my own racebike! For my, bcz I loved it! The power the speed. No fb no comunity to brag. I was out in the country driving, no one saw me. Then had it on track, no one saw me, and everyone else there had sports bike as well, so it had nothing to do with showoff. Just people love driving bikes...

Most people who drive fancy cars aren't rich and don't own their cars outright.

Many buy these cars because they have fallen into the trap of trying to impress and outdo their peers.

How is a shiny new car the same as one years vacation? A new ride can easily be had for $750/mo. Unless you work at mcdonalds or walmart, it's not even close.

Very true!

I bought a new Escalade back in 2011 and put $4,000 down...thought I was balling!

Took a pay cut the next year but just couldn't give up that car.  People always commented/complimented it and it made me feel "cool" and 1 step above my peers.

After having children I now drive a VERY modest, used SRX and have no problem with that at all.
