Hahaha. Yeah dude go for it, buying a fucking gladiator will cure your depression I'm sure lmao.

>>53249764
Off roading is kind of fun though.

>>53249743
Buy some monkeys and throw them into your very own home made pit of despair for 5 years

>>53249743
Jeeps are shit, American cars are shit. Get a Toyota or something.

>>53249743
>$16k bonus
How do you even get a job that gives that much of a bonus?

>>53249771
You don't need a brand new Jeep to off-road, you just want to consooom.

>>53249796
>you just want to consooom.
I think that was established in my OP.

>>53249817
Buying things won't make you happy.

>>53249794
I’m a code monkey. I’m also getting $40k worth of stock this year. Doesn’t help with the loneliness though.

>>53249836
Yeah, but it’s not like anything else will.

>>53249743
Correction. You're probably getting ~9k after >>they<< get their cut

>>53249743
>new
why not used? 16k would surely buy you something decent that you can take to a shop with a few grand and turn it into something cool

>>53249854
No, my company works it out so that the $16k is after taxes.

>>53249862
The used car market is still overinflated. I’d rather buy new and not worry about getting a lemon.

>>53249743
I enjoy my jeep. It puts me in a good mood but it sure wouldn’t cure any of my depression. I literally watched someone recently buy a premium pre owned car and it made his depression worse, because he expected it to give him a bump but it didn’t. So depressed he lost his job and now also has a car payment (only 350 but my point remains).

TLDR it’s not gonna make you happy if you’re actually depressed

>>53249874
You're buying a Jeep, it's a lemon brand new.

>>53249910
Not really. I bought a new Jeep Cherokee last year and it hasn’t given me any trouble. I’m only trading it in because I want a Gladiator now.

>>53249771
A gladiator is incredibly cool, but useless. It can’t tow, haul, off-road that well, or take lots of people around. You’ll get
Laughed off the trails when you can’t traverse simple breakover angles, and
Your turning radius is absolute shit. Due mileage sucks, quality is complete shit as well. Just buy a hot wheels scale mode of the gladiator. It’ll give you more smiles guaranteed.

>>53249841
Jelly. My bonus is only $10k and will only get about $20k of stocks.

>>53249943
Are you depressed too?

>>53249962
Oh I’m a fucking wreck. This time I think the meds are working cause I’ve had a great week ngl.

>>53249743
Do it.

>>53249976
My adderall used to make me feel good but I stopped abusing it because the crash would leave me zombified for 12 hours after. Now I only take enough to get me through the day but not enough to affect my mood. I’m also hoarding boner pills because I haven’t been on a date in 3 years.

>>53249743
>depression
motorcycle, anon. you're gonna want a motorcycle. If you commute to work and totally hate it, a motorcycle will completely change that. obviously don't just go spend 16k on a bike. take a safety course first, and ride a beginner bike.

>>53249743
Really fun/neat rigs, everyone I know that has one loves it. Congrats on the what I consider a very large bonus Anon. Now depending on what toys you have already I would recommend a utv/atv if your goal is off roading

>>53250036
I’m too much of a bitch for a motorcycle. Plus I don’t have the attention span to ride one, I’d probably end up killing myself or worse killing someone else.

May not look as cool but a 4runner or a tacoma will function way better out of the box for off-road and basically all other functions. Jeeps are also great after you dump about 5-10 grand into them to make them actually function while looking cooler

>>53250055
that's okay. think about it. do you want the jeep to do offroading or do you just think it's cool. if you're not picking up offroading as a hobby, maybe think about getting a small sports car with a manual or an older classic.
that said, the gladiator is capable.

>I take adderaall and buy things I dont need

wonder why you're depressed

>>53250099
I’d be even more depressed if I were poor without drugs

>>53249771
Look up the gambler 500 go build an off road Miata

>>53250170
maybe you wouldn't, maybe you'd have purpose or something, who knows
what's obvious is that what you're doing is not working

>>53249771
>Buy jeep to go offroading
>Sucks to drive on road
>Have to be extra careful not to break it offroad so i can drive it to work the next day
>Parts constantly break anyways, and maintenance intervals need to be halved because of extra stress and exposure to mud/grit
I can tell you from personal experience that using a daily driver for offroading sucks. Buy a truck and a cheap 2 door that you can tow to the trails.

Okay anon, Gladiator owner here (been leasing it for 2 years now). I'll give you the breakdown. Long story short, DO NOT FUCKING BUY this car. Leasing this car is totally fine, but these cars are shit and will not last.

PROS
>You'll never have more fun in the summer with the doors and roof off.
>Women really will check you out. You have to be a slight chad/adventurer to have this car.
>Insane utility. You can go camping, kayaking(get a kayak rack), off roading, road trips, etc.
>Fun buying accessories and all that. I just got a light up Christmas Wreath this past december on my grill.

CONS
>shit quality
>will break down sooner rather than later
>literal death rattle while driving on the highway
>since the engineers can't change the look without jeepfags going crazy, you get SHIT mpg.
>Car is literally non-aerodynamic and you will be controlled by the wind on the highway. Makes no sense because the weight but that's why this car is shit.
>extremely EXTREMELY uncomfortable. That's the price for waterproof everything.
>laughably overpriced

Overall, do not BUY a gladiator. Lease one if you have to have it.

>>53249743
Don't be gay
You could get like 8 amazing nights with hookers

>>53250170
you're in dire need of a dopamine detox, all of the bullshit you're succumbed to doing is only making your depression worse.

but hey you're not going to listen to me anyway. the only way for an addict to recover is for the addict to accept condition and actively try to make a change, not buy new toys and abuse substances that artificially inflates his dopaminergic baseline

>>53250406
>sucks on the road
It's a back and front solid axle vehicle you fucking retard what do you expect
It's built for offroading first just like your mom is built for my dick
Sell the jeep and buy a prius you fucking pussy faggot
Offroading is fun, the JL is the most capable and comfy 4x4 on the road

>>53249743
Offroading is fun as fuck and a great escape from modern life
If you're buying a Jeep just to fill a void you'll still be miserable after
If you're buying to take the doors and roof off and fuck around woods and snow and sand it's an unimaginably liberating feeling
Pic related my jeep

I swear to god all carfags are the absolute epitome of complete and utter faggotry, holy shit.

>You have to be a slight chad/adventurer to have this car.

>>53249791
isnt Jeep Fiat or something? so its an italian car

>>53249743
Can’t believe I share a board with such financially illiterate retards. Buy new anons. You can’t finance used. Unless you buy outright, different story

>>53249743
Buy crypto to reduce stress.

>>53249780
Just crypto
Crypto
Crypto

>>53252152
kek

>>53249743
I would buy eth and matic on that 16k

>>53252183
Crypto is good

>>53252157
BTC to be safe

>>53252152
I'm not sure if it's excellent advise, but I wouldn't recommend it to a depressed person. However, I have crypto that I believe will be significant throughout the upcoming bullrun season. I have already invested in hbar, xpress, sol, hps, matic, and vechain. Let's see anon.

>>53252157

>>53252258
How sure are you?

>>53252189
If you invest in crypto. Go with ethereum

>>53249743
Gladiators are cool.
but my depression is only cured by Anime boobies

>>53249743
If you can use it for work (And so write it off on taxes), yes. If not its probably best you buy some either tanked stocks or crypto.

>>53249743
buy a Land Cruiser and it'll run forever

>>53252362
I cannot guarantee anything, but atleast I am doing my own research before jumping a certain project. If you don't want to study, you won't keep up with the latest developments in blockchain and crypto. Is it making sense to you?

>>53252184
It's volatile

>>53252648
It sure is
