Why the fuck do ppl care about cars? Seems like such a waste
Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 20th, 2013 12:09 PM Author: Bearded plum temple quadroon I admittedly live in an EC city where a car isn't necessary, but even if I were rich & in a driving city, I can't imagine ever wanting something more expensive than a Camry or whatever the Nissan/Honda equivalent is (Ultima?/Accord?).
Luxury vehicles just seem like such a waste of money.
Do you Audi/BMW ppl really derive more utility from driving those than just a Toyota + wasting the $$ saved on vactions/drugs/hookers? |

Date: February 20th, 2013 12:14 PM Author: razzle point dragon Driving luxury cars is noticeably better and sweeter, but I agree, I'd rather spend the $$$ elsewhere. Especially because most Hondas are going to last a lot longer / be cheaper to service than a German car.

however, i don't agree on performance differences. you have straight line acceleration, sure, but I feel much more connected to the road, and enjoy the experience more, driving a performance tuned car like a bmw over an everyday sedan.

if you're serious about driving for fun you ought to get a track car, you will not be using your M3's abilities on the interstate if you're really rich then there's no sense in not having a rolls or whatever, but basically everything from midlevel luxury on down is a waste of time and money used to convey status, it's a nationwide dick measuring contest that has gotten out of hand |

Date: February 20th, 2013 1:21 PM Author: supple honey-headed pit boistinker people buying those cars waste money on tons of other shit as well. you'd have to have the mindset you just said about every thing you buy which would just get depressing.

plus having the mindset that you shouldn't waste money on worthless shit with respect to any major purchases isn't depressing, that's just basic common sense |

Date: February 20th, 2013 2:16 PM Author: glassy factory reset button state i agree sitting in a luxury car wears off and besides, toyota/hondas make really nice interior these days anyway if you get the upgrades.
as far as performance, it shaves off about 3-5 min off my commute and keeps me somewhat sane (i get road ragey a lot). i can better accelerate off the line and quickly cut people off before the next block (yes, i'm that asshole driver). there's this one 4 lane road in particular where cars are sometimes parked on the far right lane but is open for 2-3 block stretches and it'd be hard to cut in and out of the lane w/o some extra power (i can go from 0-60 and then quickly cut in front of a bunch of slow ass priuses).
i also take a lot of weekend trips and some longer trips where there are scenic drives and it is very very nice. worth the extra $30k? probably not but it's not like it's money i should be spending on something else when i have plenty in the bank. |

Cars are one of the top reminders of your status and how you choose to live life. You can have a nice house on 6 acres and go out to eat every night of the week. You can have expensive items that you might get more immediate pleasure from, but if you get into an average car every day, you're immediately reminded that you're either held back or holding yourself back. You have mediocre finances or a frugal. You're afraid to indulge in "you."
Cars, more than almost all other things, are closely controlled by their owners and can best influence their egos. |
