Seriously, luxury cars are the realm of ridiculously wealthy douche-bags, not nineteen year olds with a chip on their shoulder and dreams of affluence.
Buy a fucking Geo, Treeloot, and get on with your being a dumb, dumby, dumb-faced dumby-head.
Since some of S&Es finest (by finest I mean dumbest, I point that out because some of you wouldn't realize it) don't know a joke thread when they see one I will go ahead and point out what was probably already obvious to 90% of the people who read this thread. It's a god damn joke. I think luxury cars are sweet, but I know I don't have the money buy one, and if I did I'd probably get a Toyota instead.
Now will you please shut the fuck up? It's too god damn bad you're jealous of people who can afford expensive cars, but I really don't care.
okay so wait, is it a joke, and you're not actually a person who can afford an expensive car, or should I actually be jealous of your riches?
You know what, it doesn't really matter. You are an alt, and a bad one at that, so fuck you.
I don't actually have enough money for a luxury car, and if I did I probably wouldn't buy one. I can drive my mom's minivan (I'm not kidding here) or my dad's Corolla almost any time I want, so buying even a good used car makes no sense for me at the moment.
True, the more affordable the car, the less cash it gobbles up overall. But digging into cost-of-ownership data from Vincentric, a firm that tracks vehicle lifecycle expenses for car dealers, manufacturers and others, shows that the five-year lifecycle costs of the 10 most expensive vehicles to own are lower multiples of their base prices than models that cost less.
Take two examples: the 2007 BMW M6 Convertible, with a manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) of $104,900; and the 2007 Audi A3, with a $25,340 MSRP. The pricier BMW M6 Convertible is fourth on our list and is more expensive to own than the Audi A3, which is among the 10 least expensive luxury vehicles to own. But the M6 Convertible’s cost of ownership after five years is $150,565, less than 1.5 times the car’s base price; whereas the A3’s five year total cost of ownership of $51,513 is more than two times the vehicle’s base price.

The lesson: If you sink more than $100,000 into a car, each of those dollars stretches farther over time. That's largely because high-end cars tend to hold their value better than regular vehicles. But remember, you’re still shelling out more money for the pricier car.

I'm a South American cleaner, I spend my whole shift sleeping or reading
and my car is a big old shitty Holden Commodore that runs on gas, so I get the comfort of a big car with fuel that costs 50 cents a liter.
This is the third time I'm calling a person retarded today. Rather, you're the third person.
is that like
God how I want a bently.
and you'd be wrong pretty often.
Oh hey lookit that I! I misspelled a word!
Thank god you were able to figure out what I meant after I mangled it so badly.
Seriously, Filler, it's like you're typing with your goddamn elbows.
I don't have fingers
PURGE THE MUTANT!!
it took a while for the styling to grow on me but now I love them
I saw in an S8 at an auto show. Soooo nice.
I am not an animal!
then prove it by writing it legibly on this sheet of paper... WITH THIS SPECIAL PURGING-OF-THE-MUTANT PEN!
I guess it's the real deal.
if you weren't crippled, simply watching me drive might do it
so you're wrong
Okay I really wouldn't mind an R8 myself.
how well do they go off four foot drops at 30 MPH?
i maintain, my truck still runs after 8 years of me driving it. i would love to see a luxury car do that.
Different purposes in mind.
i'm not arguing that
i would love to see a brand new luxury car for $12,995
I hear KIA's are quite nice...
*snkkkt*
You'd think I made that up, but my friend, a beemer lover, says it's true.

As I said, I drove a 535xi. It's awesome.
also, sunglasses and really loud techno and two ten-inch subs in my trunk.
why would you have sandwiches in the trunk?
they're in a cooler, i'ma have a picnic!
seriously though, two ten-inch subwoofers gives you more then enough bass to be a complete jackass and not drown out the rest of your music.
And to think you insulted my taste.
see, the point of that post was ironic, you see, because that would indeed make me a dick.
also, there's a lot of good techno.
STEAM!
