Do any anons here drive a new luxury car? Does life generally feels better and at a higher level once you start driving one?

Sure, when I'm driving it.
It tends to get a lot of stares. Of course I also always get hit up for money at the gas station, which blows.

>> No.1703228

honestly i'm not impressed with Mercedes ever since they started building their cars in the US. Quality went way down, esp crappy tires.

My neighbor has a Ferrari but it seems more of a chore than its worth. He has to be super protective about it and only takes it out for a spin like once a month so his engine doesn't get messed up and even then he can't drive it to its potiental speeds because of cops and traffic. So i don't really see the point of having it

So overall i'm not really impressed with luxury cars desu

Your neighbor is missing out.
I take mine out 3 or 4 times a week, don't know where he heard that would mess up the engine. Lower the resale value, yeah, but what did he buy it for, to look at?

>> No.1703242

Naw like he doesn't really feel like driving it much anymore (he's an ER doctor with a wife and now a few kids so i guess he outgrew it) so he basically has to force himself to take it out for a spin every now and then. Otherwise it would just be sitting in his garage for months at a time

I have a BMW M6 and don't regret it for a minute. If you can sleek it out you truly stand out. But not in an obnoxious way. Very privileged to have what I have and was presented the opportunity to acquire it at a discount and did so wholeheartedly.

Depreciation / maintenance is a bitch tho but at this moment in time I don't regret it one bit.

Also 564 Hp and is a semi sleeper car.

why do asian people flee their homeland but insist on remaining in groups when they arrive in new lands

its like they admit their culture and land is inferior in every way by abandoning it, but don't want to assimilate into the culture where they arrive

is it arrogance

it's like western culture rejects them because they are inherently inauthentic by nature and so they cling to each other for support, but their entire spiritual existence is to be an individual and NOT conform to the group like a sheep (which is why they fled in the first place) so they just kind of fake it.

that's why every time you see an asian person doing anything other than being stereotypically asian, it looks so incredibly forced

its like they live eternally on the outside looking in through the window from the cold; they want to be like westerners so bad that they prevent themselves from ever becoming like them

their complete obsession with their personal image and status prevents them from ever living effortlessly; their strain and effort to try and increase others perception of them makes all of their actions seem inauthentic

they always come off like they are trying to manipulate you in some way or are being inauthentic

is it arrogance

they should assimilate more.

on the other hand, when I lived in Thailand all the westerners hung out together. It's because it gets tiring speaking another language, only being able to communicate basic things. Sometimes you just want to have a beer and a joke with someone, you need to be fluent in the same language for jokes.

I own a 981 Cayman S. It's a fucking amazing car, but it's still a car. It won't magically make you popular with women or fix your self-esteem issues or help you lose weight etc.

Maintenance and running costs are also a bitch. Buy cars like these if you are an enthusiast and enjoy driving, don't do it for stupid reasons like showing off etc. These cars are a huge money sink, so think it through before you buy one. Also, do everyone a favor and actually drive these cars, don't treat them like garage queens. Your car will depreciate anyway, might as well enjoy it. If you don't drive them regularly, cars are prone to all sorts of malfunctions as well.

Just buy yourself a used, sub- $10,000 auto and grow wealth. Less-than-rich neighborhoods are full of these cars and the owners rarely grow wealthy. Shine on the inside, not on the outside.
