Conservative. Nice bro. You will probably make it financially, me? No hope.

>>8248296

>>8248344
What happened with the rear end?

>>8248367
that is the way it is

Will still drive my 08 Lincoln MKZ

>>8248384
Well, you should have them fix it. It's gotta have a warranty, right?

I bought a 2010 nissan frontier with my gains.

>>8248296
>N-no hate plsss

Cars are gay as fuck. I’ve driven lambos and maseratis, still don’t get the child like fascination with them. Super pathetic.

>>8248483
If it makes you happy who gives a shit, right?

>>8248521
Probably because you're a faggot?

>>8248550
>being so obsessed with metal and wheels you already have a dream set of over priced metal and wheels picked out to impress other normies with
>calling anyone a faggot

Kek.

>>8248296
nothing screams "I'm a faggot" like bmw

>>8248581
Well look, either faggots or women aren't into cars, which is it?

>>8248592
>posts a pic of a volvo

This bad boy

>>8248666
Lol is that a Ford Ka? Very economical of you anon.

>>8248592
Except a Volvo, amirite?

Ford explorer

>>8248687
I'm a faggot who didn't cash out at the top, so I'll have to go with a used qashqai or subaru

>>8248613
Well look, either children or car cucks are into cars, which is it?

>>8248296
This for now. Lambo later

>>8248746
Children aren't allowed to drive anon, I guess that makes me a car cuck.

Tell me your story bro, who or what sucked the joy out of your life that you're unable to appreciate simple things?

>>8248790

Like I said I've driven lambos, etc. and still see no value in any of these cars beyond it transports my body from point A to point B. The only other value it offers is status, which is a normie goal that is associated with low IQ and many other negative traits. I've never seen anyone justify or rationalize a luxury vehicle/sports car in any meaningful way beyond that, so to me lusting after a vehicle is one of the lowliest, least respectable pursuits reserved for niggers and faggots. How am I wrong?

Already got one of these, put down 30'000 km on it in the last 9 months and I'd never ever dream of ever going back to a noisy non-electric car for my daily commute.

This is the most autistic argument I see in every car thread.
You are wrong because you don't recognize that some people genuinely enjoy driving cars other than just getting from point A to point B.
And expensive cars are expensive for a reason, it's because their offer more performance to those that enjoy it, not just because they look nice from the outside.
It's like a hobby and if you're just not into it, then how could you even understand it?

I'm sure you're into some stuff that nobody else cares about but it's your thing so who gives a fuck really?

>>8248893
I think you aren't capable of having fun my dude.

>>8248296
literally the exact same car in your pic, not once I've made it, I already drive this thing everyday.

Gentlemen, I win.

>>8249056
that front grill makes me wanna puke

>>8249022
As a car salesman I can understand the 'drivers,' but still cars have become beyond consumerist and it's certainly a brainlet hobby (unless you are building and racing ls1 miatas). Buying a 50k dollar 'sport' sedan and breaking the speed limit on the way to work is not a hobby.

>>8249046
Is it nice?

>>8248296
just for reference, wanting a BMW is even more degen than wanting a Lambo

You see, it's mostly retards who want lambos nowadays, since the cars aren't even Italian anymore but are in fact owned by German firms and made in cuckistan (aka Germany under Merkle)

Nonetheless, lambos actually look pretty sick and still have some of that Italian un-cucked design

BMWs by contrast look like shit, drive like shit, are overpriced, and funnel more money into the pockets of cuckistani automakers

If you're going to buy german at least buy something that looks sick e.g. Porsche

t. uncucked BMW hater

>>8249022
>And expensive cars are expensive for a reason, it's because their offer more performance to those that enjoy it, not just because they look nice from the outside.

Like any other premium/luxury product, that's not right. You probably also like expensive watches, don't you?

>>8249022
>some people genuinely enjoy driving cars other than just getting from point A to point B.

That's fine, but you should at least be able to explain exactly why that's enjoyable if it truly is enjoyable, which you likely can't do as the bulk of your enjoyment is actually derived from the sense of elevated status you perceive yourself having while driving your cuckmobile. I could be wrong though.

And naturally I have hobbies others wouldn't be into, but I don't have communal threads about them where we compare fantasies and circle-jerk.

>>8249044

I have fun all the time, like right now for example.

>>8249065

The grill is the best part

>>8249022
>I enjoy driving this highly engineered machine sub-60mph and am unable to violate this limit anywhere within the continental united states
>but but muh performance
stay deluded

>>8249092
Thanks for sharing, I've never really liked the look of Porsche for some reason. Has always seemed rather plain to me.

This is all I need. Travels almost 100km with just 1 tank of gas (5€).

>>8248893

God.

I hate you autistic I'm so much better than you losers.

And you wonder why people fucking hate you.

>>8248296
>BMW
Hello Elliot Rodger, you supreme gentleman.

>>8249150
50-70cc too low powered for north america, you'd need 150cc at least. it's nice though. where do you live?

>>8249083
Some people like to mod the cars, some like to take them to the track, some like to take them out to a back road or a night drive.
People like to have fun in their own ways, what are your "high IQ" hobbies?

>>8249095
>Like any other premium/luxury product, that's not right.
So you think a $25k economy car performs better than a $50k sports car? And we're not talking about point A to point B here, you know that.

>You probably also like expensive watches, don't you?
I don't even own a watch.

>>8249109
>derived from the sense of elevated status you perceive yourself having while driving your cuckmobile
Not all cars drive the same, that was my entire point. And a car doesn't need to have a flashy appearance or be expensive to be a good car.
A lot of people here don't get that, they think I'm talking about the newest $100k Mercedes or something.

>>8249131
I live in Europe and I live close to a track. There's no reason to get butthurt over someone enjoying different things than you do.

>>8249056
Nice choice my man. I just became the proud owner of a used is250.

>>8248296
Owned an M3 from that generation and didn’t like it. Traded it for a Porsche. Daily is a Tacoma.

>>8248296
you haven't made it yet if a lambo is unpractical for you to drive to the corner store

>>8248296
I will continue to drive my 2000 Corolla 5 speed.
Excellent MPG
Reliable
Handles well due to it being 2300lbs
Dirt cheap to maintain

>>8248893
You can rationalize everything like that until nothing means anything anymore and you will be miserable.

>>8248296
50's Dodge Hornet and secondary will be something from the 40s.

>>8248893
This is so true.

I could see 20 years ago, a luxury car actually making your drive more enjoyable, perhaps safer and maybe a little easier (to hit the gas and merge on the highway for example).

However, in today's world, a fucking Hyundai has all the same "luxury" features as a BMW (less a few that really are gimmicks at best). Why the fuck would brainlets waste precious capital on a luxury car when your basic shit can accomplish the same?

Fuck off car-cucks who think having a fancy logo on their car makes their ride more enjoyable.

>>8249575
Lol stap drive a mercedes and then drive a hyundai

>>8249022
Explain why you find it more enjoyable to drive a luxury car vs. saw a Honda? You can't. Now a days there is minimal difference. Your only answer could be "because it drives nicer" bullshit. When you've driven just about every grade of car, you will realize it doesn't make a difference in 2018. In 1980, I would say yes you have a point - there was a big difference in cars.

>>8249639
a new hyundai drives perfectly fine

>>8248313
fpbp

This but with the LS

>>8249639
I've driven both. The difference is fuckin minimal. Especially driving around the overcrowded highways of today's world.

Explain why you think it's a better drive? ....you can't

I've got a 98 Corolla. I may upgrade to a 99.

Nothing else but 1999 Suzuki Grand Vitara

>>8249698
it's a boomer's mindset, which everybody here makes fun of but apparently it's ok for cars

i.e. my dad thinks koreans make cheap/shitty cars, but german are good quality

it's just branding anons, you're getting cucked

>>8249064
sexy af choice anon

A Toyota Auris. I'm biased as Toyota is a sponsor to a group I'm a fan of and I don't have an expensive taste in cars.

>>8248581

t. depressed person

>>8249772
Agreed.

In 15 years we won't even be driving. I laugh at anyone who wastes money on luxury cars.

>>8249851
Cho poster?

>>8248893
your posts are the exact equivalent of the cars that you hate. a holier-than-thou look-at-me faggot shitting up every thread. i hope you fucking die in a fiery car crash that would have been completely avoided had you purchased a nicer, safer vehicle.

Kia Optima.

pic related if I want fun, cars are boring af.

I'm buying this on Monday out of my savings as a distraction-cope while my currently $20k ($45k at ATH) crypto portfolio crashes

I don't have any higher aspirations anyways. Maybe a used Prius or 4Runner if my stock WRX Wagon shits itself as a daily driver

>>8248296
06 Honda Civic

>>8249880
>j-just wait 15 years anons

>>8249955
At least get a IX.

>>8248893
You're honestly not wrong. I hate them because they're so expensive and rare you can't enjoy them properly. A $15,000 used sports car (Evo, STi, Corvette, M3, 370Z) offers way more enjoyment because you can actually drive it hard and not worry about losing house money if you fuck up and crash. Plus the performance is far more approachable on the street while not being completely boring.

A Ferrari or a Lambo isn't enjoyable outside of a racetrack which just leaves you revving in traffic like a moron.

>>8249151

Proved my point precisely.

this kills the jew

>>8250001
Its a 2004 VIII RS with full bolt ons (3.5" exhaust, 3.5" intercooler, cams/valvetrain, clutch, ARP headstuds, new headgasket, bilstein struts) with 95k miles, from San Diego (rust free) and a clean title for $14,000. Has had two accidents on record but not enough to total it out. Should make 320-340whp on 93 in a 3050-3100lb Turbo AWD with next to no lag.

I've wanted a Evo since I was 11-12, and $12-16k Evos here are almost always 150k+ miles, salvage/rebuilt title, bad transmission synchros, rust/rot, peeling clearcoat, riced, etc. IXs are going for closer to $18-25k.

Plus this is a RS (100-120lbs lighter, no sound deadening, manual locks/windows/mirrors, front LSD, and no ABS).

Woops, didnt mean to quote OP hes a faggot

On paper it'd be sick but steering wheel is on the right and theres no air bags so you're dead in a crash. I'd get one if I become real successful and only would drive it occasionally.

>>8250196
Glad to see my brothers are into making money. Let's make as much as we can to get Cho into senbatsu.

>>8250352
Good to see you bro. How's your portfolio doing?

Same Miata I've had since I was 16
Just picked up a diesel shuttle bus. Best of both worlds now.

>>8249282
Right, enjoying driving/cars in general does not require somebody to 'make it' and buy an overpriced cookie cutter hype mobile. I think it's a sign of low intelligence to spend an excessive amount on a car when you could pursue the hobby in a different way.

>>8249135
THIS

>>8248296
Not sure if practical (soft-top), but this is my choice.

I own pic related. I can appreciate every argument against so called luxury/higher end cars.

For myself though, I like Mercedes and I am not trying to impress anyone, its just sometimes nice to have nice things, especially when I worked fucking hard for it.

>>8248893

How hard do eurocuck governments try to prevent billionaires from buying pic related?

Do they really get away with telling people "we need to be able to kill you and you need to be able to be killed?"

Or is it just they dont like the aesthetics?

Model X for a daily driver and a WRX STI for fun

Neeeeext

If you want to get laid.
