This is legit the one reason I would move to USA,CA,AUS.

European car culture is cucked beyond belief.

socialists want to do the same to the us

>What's your excuse Jow Forums?
I don't need it
There is a lot of better and more enjoyable things to buy with that amount of money.

If you spend it all while young then you're going to end up working until you're 80, which is the true Goy.
The only way out is if you find a way to make passive income.

Jag F-Type is a pretty fuckin economical choice for a sports car, too. Pretty sure that thing starts at 55k.

I have a brand new car, not some high end model but comfy enough for me, rides well, good fuel efficiency and great value for money. Not a sports car but works great for me

my uncle is retired mechanical/hydrodynamics engineer who drives a 20 year old toyota with 36K miles on it; he used to also own a diesel fuel powered car but got bored of it

his house is worth 925K, and he has about 3.2 million in his various money market accounts; as a hobby, he goes to factory outlet stores and buys/hoards batteries of all kinds, and reconstructs automobile engines (rotary, steam) of cars that are no longer in production

when he was younger he helped build one of the rocket engines on what are now used to put satellites in orbit

when I was 12 he gave me a book with so much math in it i didn't know what it was; when I went to college, I showed this book to a math professor and he said "This is pretty niche applied dynamics"

>no units whatsoever
I make 1.6million a year, your uncle is a cuck.

if you're not hoarding every cent you make from the time you finish your degree and start work until you're 35 retiring early, you're doing it wrong.

get a cheap shithole apartment as close as you can to your job & bike to work. cars are for cucks.

you should be investing that money in stocks not buying a car

these guys get it. cars are depreciating assets. put your excess money against high interest debts and then invest the rest. aren't programmers supposed to be smart?

I am blind.

It's rough but people really do treat you differently when you drive an expensive car. Being nice on top of that just makes everything go super smoothly.

Sure but do you have an enjoyable career as a Wendy's chef?

Lmao, any top trim japanese sport shitbox is better than that pajeet-made poo in loo piece of crap

I'll stick to my affordable AWD vehicles (2016 Jeep Renegade, 2017 Subaru Legacy)

>paying capital gains taxes
good goy

who pays to drive a fiat? disgusting.

commit suicide then

Or stop being obsessed morons and enjoy life as it comes along, with some logic to avoid going in debt like a moron.
Not everyone is blessed by birth to be successful and even if you are, chances are you neither require extremely luxury or extreme savings.

Most people "proud" to be big savers literally keep money for their grandchildren in the end. Honorable for sure, but personally, fuck it.

Most people "proud" to live in luxury while having to work day to day for it, end up broke because on the first emergency they go into extreme debt.

nigga, fuck you. I drive around a sinclair C5

Kek, i know its just a rebadged Fiat 500XL. I did have to change the radiator fan module because those pasta niggers don't know how to make a fan (loose bushing on back of fan).

>buying a car
>not using mom's old car because I don't even have kids, why the hell would I spend tens of thousands of europe on some glorified rollerblade.

How? I can't see to do it right.

Cars are depreciating assets, which is why you buy old 80s/90s rear wheel drive sports cars with no assists that will appreciate even if you thrash the FUCK out of them.
Take them to track days, rev at electric car cucks for banter (even though you're probably slower than them), almost die because your retarded ass went full throttle when it's wet and this old piece of shit doesn't have TC etc etc etc

and then sell it 10 years down the line and make all the money back, including the thousands of litres of petrol because this piece of shit only gets 10mpg. right now all the 80s/90s sports cars are appreciating like fucking crazy.

but if you buy brand new cars as status symbols rather than drive them hard in a competitive arena like GOD intended then you're a fucking faggot

>being a slave to money and wasting away your youth so you'll be able to buy a golden wheelchair

i can already feel your life remorse

That's my point.
"Some logic to avoid going in debt like a moron" means not getting a sports car if you're a wagie lol.
You can get a car for 10k that lasts you 20 years.

run in front of a train or into traffic

>You can get a car for 10k that lasts you 20 years.
ehhh...not really true
most used cars with ~75k miles are >$10k. realistically, a car will last about 200k miles until it's falling apart.

fucking obummer with cash for clunkers destroyed the car market.

bought a used civic 7 years ago for $12k, at 150k miles now. body falling apart, electronics starting to die. hope she'll last to 200k. it's the electronics that fuck everything. ECU dies, car dies. monitoring systems die, car dies.

I'll never be in a wheelchair because I spend my money on things that matter like a power rack and a healthy diet.
Status symbols are worthless, the hedonic treadmill dictates that a man with a sports car is no happier than a man with some cheap Toyota.

I suppose it depends on how much you drive. If you're a coder you can work from home and barely use your car.
I bought my car about 10 years ago and I'm only at 75k miles.

You refute what he says then, confirm it in the same body of text. You can still get civics with a lot of life in them for around 10k, you just have to look around and its a pain in the ass.

You do realize that people can enjoy cars themselves as a hobby too, right? Collecting nice cars just to look at them and smile when you go to your garage is something people legitimately do, not only to impress people, but because they just love how the cars look and/or feel.

It makes sense for engineers to have shitcans because they're all about practicality, but don't diss people who actually want something that looks or feels decent.

>I suppose it depends on how much you drive
that's true. i live in the midwest, so drive every where and also use it as a vehicle to take trips to other states. so the standard 12k-15k miles per year

>You refute what he says then, confirm it in the same body of text.
how? I stated the prices were higher than $10k and they won't last 20 years. my example shows a higher price and that the car probably won't even last 10 years based on it falling apart in the timespan I mentioned.

Not quite, you should be putting money into being financially independent. That is, have your home/land be fully paid, be solar powered, dig a well for water or have an atmospheric water generator for water, fully fenced for protection against wild life/intruders, underground bunkers/garage for potential safety.

you're just ignorant about their value.
well dunno about sport cars, but sport motorcycles are super fun - no traffic jams, no parking problems, fun as fuck to ride, and affordable.
start and end the day with a smile. This happiness is worth more than any shitty savings you'll get to buy a fancy coffin

>Removing the popups
Gods fc tho

>but sport motorcycles are super fun - no traffic jams, no parking problems, fun as fuck to ride, and affordable.
yes, and dangerous as fuck when people don't know how to drive around you. have to be fucking vigilent and always on the defensive because cars ride your ass or cut you off.

I agree with that.
>well dunno about sport cars, but sport motorcycles are super fun - no traffic jams, no parking problems, fun as fuck to ride, and affordable.
This is how you die.

>didnt get a Porsche

Who wants to grow old anyway? As long as you're living a satisfying life, you don't have to fear death.

Stop skipping leg day old man.

you want to move because of car culture? to those places where everything is cucked because of car culture?
the state of engineers

fpbp

>sport motorcycle
10x higher rate of fatality than cars

If you want the no traffic jams/parking problems/fun to ride/affordability, commuting vehicle get a low speed 20-30mph ebike. For any highway travel, go with a car.

i have a few clients right now:
one developed multiple sclerosis at age 40 and uses a power cart
another injured his ankle skiing; the ankle became infected and he had to get an amputation to below the knee; he didn't take care of the leg and due to that and diabetes, he had to get the other leg amputated; he is 44
and one more client rode his atv and it turned over on him trapping him beneath the atv and a tree; crushed his pelvis so he can walk about 5 minutes before his legs spasm; uses a manual wheelchair; lives in a group home due to drug problem and behaviors; 32

>to those places where everything is cucked because of car culture?
and "walkable" European cities full of clattering, diesel-pumping cuckboxes is not cucked?

sportcar are useless. They barely have any cargo space. A lot of them have only two seats.

Literally the apple of cars: it looks nice but it's fragile and useless, and at the and it does the same job as any other car but worse.

>am webdev
>50k salary

I cant tell if i am getting screwed or what, but i barely have enough money for rent

Have you considered that you can enjoy life AND invest in your future? Hoarding all your shekels so you can retire at 40 just means you'll have wasted what is objectively one of the best parts of your life, the one where you look good, have energy and health.

I'm broke right now after going on a 20 day road trip, but I still funded my investment accounts before I left, not rocket science.

>one developed multiple sclerosis at age 40 and uses a power cart

I don't do dangerous sports so I'm good.
I have done Jiu-Jitsu for a year, and the prevailing thought was, "I can live without this." So I do.
The greatest risk I undertake is driving my car, which I minimize by having the poor shop for my groceries and working from home.

Why the fuck do you people do this? Put a fucking currency you smooth-brains

50k could be $50k or 50k ¥

if you're going for early retirement and the best you can do is 40 as an engineer, you're a fucking retard. if you think blowing one year's salary on a useless flashy car that niggers are gonna key up, you're a retard.

>Insecure

I thought Jow Forums users were above average intelligence? What a disgrace. I thought sports cars were cool when I was in middle school and played Minecraft.

why do small cars need to pump diesel faggot?
they're probably all electric on top of the nice public transport

Most people refer to USD when talking about money.

i make $7/hr programming

>probably
nah sweetie, like 90% diesel, and public transport is full of drunks (eastern europe)/muslims (western)

good choice user. 95% of the population doesn't know jackshit about cars. i guarantee a majority off people would take a camero over an alfa romeo given the choice because they have no fucking idea what the latter is.

A british shtibox

>geo metro
Unbelievably based

I reinvest every cent after my normal expenses. I drive an old Mazda3 and I'm happy with it. Buying a new car is retarded as fuck unless you literally make so much money a month that you could easily throw it out of the window and wouldnt notice it.

>nobody knows what it is
Ah, you must be a Burger

I'm saving up for an 08' plate Lamborghini Gallardo, I'll be there in 2-3 years assuming my rent and pay stay the same. I'm aware it's a fiscally retarded thing to do but fuck it, I swore to myself when I was 6 I'd have one and I will.

A Lamborghini in general that is, when I was 6 it was the Diablo

I figure, this country is going to go full blown socialist before I die. Might as well spend my money on whatever and let the state pay my Bills. Were all going to die in 30 years anyway.

programming is hard and you cant achieve anything today without paying 1000$ salary to your 10 team pajeets.

I will always drive a 10 year old car and ask for free refills.

People who care about aesthetics are dumbfucks. Real men care about practicality. Thus if driving a shitbox works, it works. There's no need to add $40K flowers to it. That $40K would rather be spent on buying couple of engines and building a decked out garage for your shitbox.

>not just getting a lotus if you want a luxury car on the cheap
>getting a luxury car in the first place to signal wealth to gold diggers and fake friends to take advantage of you
Just get a good, reliable, well air conditioned car that doesn't fuck you with gas. Live modestly and low profile and give everyone the impression that you're an average joe making average money. My pockets and heart would hurt every time my car hits a pothole, which is common in America and almost every other country in the world except Switzerland

you have no idea what you are talking about

It's a lot more economical to rent a luxury car for a day to show off than own one. Shit depreciates fast

>buy a luxury vehicle
>waste time sitting in the same exact traffic patterns everyone else does 95% of the time

Why the fuck would I buy such an expensively useless hobby? Maybe I can justify something like a track car for the weekend or some drift piece of shit or even dragster, but what value does some meme sports crap car do other than succ big money out of my pocket?

Fucking absolutely moronic.

tfw most of my colleagues spend at least £500 a month on financing a Mercedes A class or some other pretentious entry level 'luxury' car while I spend £3 a day on getting the train and walking for 20 minutes. I bet they really feel like they've made it lmao

Don't pretend to know anything about acquisitions and mergers, Phillip

Now this is a real car.

Is it bad if I don't know how to change a tire or change oil?

its easy as shit the thing about cars is 75% of it is having the right tools the other is just knowing dumb shit engineers do to cars and some general mechanical knowledge.

no, they're the kind of thing you do once and then know how to do forever.
