can crypto just moon already so I can be based and have financial freedom and buy a (pic related) pre owned (but nearly new) /comfy/ red pilled Toyota Camry that will last me 15+ years

also car what will /biz/ be buying when they make it?

for me its got to be the Camry... all I ever need, comfort, reliability, equipment, under the radar, sleek, not degenerate, economical

yeah based decision for both of you, corolla and Camry really are the true /biz/nessmens cars, personally if I really made it I would go Camry but yeah for parking in cities and shit a corolla could be a bit more based....but yes two good choices

For me it's a brand new Miata RF, then maybe a Civic Type R for winter.

Excellent choice. Had a friend who bought a Porsche and another that bought a 330i (both were second hand and close to new Corolla in price) Great to have friends with those cars that you can go for rides in and I enjoy working on cars and helping them but that's where it ends. The costs associated with keeping that BMW going are endless. So much little niggles over such a short period of time. Parts are expensive as all fuck.I guess I appreciate simplicity now I suppose.

This is my choice, would love to see the outdoors a little beyond normal roads. Either way I love the looks. Can park it anywhere, good on fuel and costs less than 30k new/

It's a 06 Boxster. Surprisingly reliable. People say its a girls car but its nice to drive and sounds good. Parts are still expensive e.g. brakes, filters. Nothing has really broken on it though. Some of the interior is starting to wear but it is getting old.

Mall crawler status atm. I have gone offroading in it but more as a necessity than a hobby. I do live in Minnesota so I can say that it handles snow covered anything like a boss. I can't afford to break this thing yet so I don't feel comfortable doing any bouldering. The most I would do is some mudding but I don't have friends who do that out here. Plus the tires are stock, I can't afford to fuck those up either. Right now I drive like, 5-10 miles every day to and from a bus stop.

Moral of the story: If I could afford to fuck it up I would. But I can't, so fuck off your soap box. I got it because I like the way it looks, I like that it can handle any terrain I'm likely to deal with, and it rides on snow like a boss. That and you can take the top off.

German 'quality' has been the great propoganda of the car age since WWII. They're marketed as prestigious and prey on the psyche of humans thinking 'if they're expensive, they must be good'. The german auto industry remains a government-propped up ponzi scheme pushing out garbage vehicles that are expensive, tacky and are not reliable.

Japan after the war underwent a philosophical and cultural revolution regarding quality using the Kaizen philosophy, seen in examples such as the Toyota Way. The manufacturers actually care about the vehicle, and not just money.

AUDI quality is no better than VW. They suffer the same defects. Only case where VW is worse is when they are made in Spain or Mexico.
Not saying they are all unreliable, but the German engineering meme is exaggerated. BMW is Turk tier and all have the same bland, boring interior. Driving experience is good but they are made entirely out of brittle plastics.
Mercedes is the exception here, latest gen the quality is top notch bar the A/CLA class. Panel gaps are impressive and are generally trouble free. They have still become throw away appliances. Apparent by all the tech that will be irrelevant in 5 years and finance/leasing/serving plans designed around trading the car in end of term.

Most people see past the badge facade. If you're going to get a new car in 5 years anyway, why not get something that has identical feature set and costs half the price. You appear moronic driving a base model C class or 3 series.
If you're going to get a car to show off wealth you buy a true sports car or something that is complete fuck you money like a Bentley, Rolls, S class.

I know I have a small crack in my steering column (or some other related part). car runs fine, but I can't tell if the effort I am putting into keeping it 'straight' is due to driving anxiety or a mechanical problem.

Not going to say anything about German cars but I can vow for Japanese cars being highly reliable.

They really care about this shit a lot.
