Nope. Cars are one of my passions in life. I love driving my sports car. It's not about impressing people either. I don't understand why nerds _never_ understand this.
- smileysteve 10y agoBecause for every person passionate about sports cars (I track mine) there are 5x as many killing the clutch as they drive circles through traffic in their murcielago.
- developer2 10y agoOf the four people I know who make < $120k/year who are paying $1,000+/month to finance a > $60k car, only one of them is a real "car enthusiast" who does it for himself. The other three are trying way too hard to prove that they are living the rich life. They don't give a single damn about the car; their only concern in the world is that other people notice they have an expensive car. If owning an expensive car is what brings someone personal joy, I'm all for that. When a friend tells me he can't come watch a movie with me or come on a cheap local road trip because he's behind on his car payments, and he says it with a depressed facial expression that clearly shows regret for the car... yeah. I don't know how else to take that other than "stupid life decisions". And no, I don't drop my jaw in awe over their car - I just see them as a moron who has misplaced priorities.
- yakshaving_jgt 10y agoOk. I will concede that the above two responses to my comment are fair.
- nunez 10y ago+1 I am not giving up my truck, and I will get (lease) my Z06 Corvette
