There you go. And I'm going to start having fun again after many difficult years.
paracosm saidDepends if he's trying to project an image of wealth, or if he can genuinely appreciate the engineering and driving experience. Easily determined if he can say anything about the car outside of HP/torque.
metta8 saidIt is not just a gay guys thing. I have known straight people who feel the need to flaunt what they are driving. It sounds silly when people say, 'I took the Mercedes to the store' instead of 'I went to the store.'
BTBruce saidI drive a ten year old Toyota Corolla. I hope that doesn't entice anyone into thinking I've got money.
uombroca saidI had a date, when met through OkCupid. He is a real estate agent. We met at my condo first for a glass of wine, chatting before heading to the restaurant. When I decided to drive since I knew the area, we were heading to the garage to get my car and said "Oh you drive a Chevrolet"...I said yes. I said what do you drive. "Oh a BMW 4 series only the best car"...I knew then it would be a rough night of a date...sure enough he turned out to be a bad date. He obviously was judging on what I drove as a means of measuring someone. Suffice to say we never contacted each other, which was great do not need that kind of mentality.
HndsmKansan saidfreedomisntfree saidFRE0 saidHaving an extremely expensive car would be a negative for me. I would see it as a status symbol and I don't think much of people who rely on status symbols to boost their image. Many people who have expensive cars are in debt up to their ears and can barely afford to lease their cars, yet alone buy them. It's not only expensive cars; I'd feel the same way about a Rolex watch.
A neighbor of a cöworker of mine announced that he had just got a better job and that within a couple weeks, he'd be getting a Mercedes. Obviously he couldn't save enough money that quickly to by a Mercedes. If people cannot afford cash to buy a car, then they should get an inexpensive car.
There are many wealthy people who downplay their wealth and are careful not to show it off. On the other hand, some people of very modest means do all they can to appear wealthy, often to their detriment.
I got the Mercrudes thing out of my system when I was in my 20s with a 72 600 and a 78 6.9. Bought a few years old at the Mannheim high line sale and lost money on both. The 600 was a fearsomely complex car with pneumatic everything ... even seats and windows.
Now, I will admit, I love to pick up a date in this, and I am looking for a big bruiser of a cruiser just like this 61 PIMPerial.
Being conservative fiscally means an evaluation of all expenditures and eliminating those that are wasteful and unnecessary! I'm stunned!
