I don´t understand people who spend all their money on cars

I understand if you make 5 million a year, sure you want to drive a decadent, heavy, hot luxury car.

What I don´t understand is people who spend half their earnings or a third or so on mobility.

It´s the worst investment you could possibly make. The second you drive that thing off the showrooms driveway, it´s worth only half of what you paid for it. There´s no depth. Its comparable to spending money on cocaine, hookers, champagne and fine cigars. It´s all good fun, but if it takes up a big share of your money, it´s not worth it in my eyes.

By spending a minimal amount of money on this irrational masturbation, you can actually build capital and leave something for your children, buying real estate and yachts and shares.

Yachts appreciate in value with age? That's news to me.

It's just a really expensive hobby. People do it for the look and feel of a great car. It makes them feel powerful and above what they really are. Besides, how can you put a price on punaney?

 

[Hiatussin]

Real estate and yachts get "punaney" too. In fact, you can fuck in them.

New yachts dont appreciate in value, true, but they do keep it better than cars and they last a lot longer, and you can live in them for stretches of time.
I was thinking some classic yachts increase or completely hold value, but then again so do some classic cars (A father of a friend of mine made some money back in the day speculating against classic Porsches)

I don´t understand how you pick up girls using a car anyway... Do you actually slowly drive it past them and make cat-calls or something? Thats silly.

I´m a student and while I get an unnecessarily high allowance that I enjoy and am surrounded with "good people", I don´t own anything really substantial in the "grownups world".

A friend of mine owns a castle though, a massive estate built for him on a former golf course, with two towers on the sides. Girls don´t talk- they hit the knees, unzip his fly and do their thing the minute they find out about this place. Throw one house party and the whole county knows who you are within a week.

Nothing is easier than sailing a shiney white and wooden decked large boat into a touristy harbour, and getting groups of girls back to your deck for a wine...

The difference is, you can have fun with these things 20 years from now, or your kids.

I also don´t like the image. Luxury and sports cars are so fucking "niveau riche".

PS This is all me observing not really participating I have yet to get my hands on enough money to buy a nice house, yacht OR car. I´m 19 and I´m not faking anything.

I totaly agree that it is a waste of money, If i had that much money to spend i would be happy with a 20,000$ car. As long as it gets me form point A to Point b.

if you made 5 mil a year you wouldnt be driving around in a hyundai trust me...im sure its a lot different when you have that money in your hands...

wow because people like nice things....ie thats like saying a girl is like girl...ugly, fat, old its all the same pussy right?....WRONG if you really like her its makes all the difference...now the same thing about cars, sometimes people like the quality, the styling, the handling of a car, you cant compare a daewoo to a maserati... anyways just my 2 cents

whats wrong with spending all your money on hookers, beer, coke, and cars. From a investment stand point its horrible but from a fun one its great. Its a valuation system. What is more valuable unused cash or fun. Granted if you use the cash right you will have more to have more fun with latter.

Like any black athlete really. Except Jordan and Tiger, but they just made so damn much they couldnt possibly fuck up. And Jordan made a good try with his big crash and burn restaurant chain

sounds like (forgive the stereotype) the mexicans here in tucson. Live in the shitty south-side but drive cars that are well over 40k and have to put rims on them...

I'm in college, I'm fine with my corolla, in fact I get awesome gas mileage.
